Key Factors a Startup should Look for in a Creative Hire for 2016


Talent with both words and Images

The holy grail for any creative talent is a mastery of graphic design and elegant, pithy, on-brand writing. The element of creativity comes down to words and pictures. A senior executive in charge of it can come up with the perfect headline or graphic flourish—serving to be the perfect example for the team.
