Key Factors a Startup should Look for in a Creative Hire for 2016
A Trend Setter
In the simplest form, it’s all about their work. What have they created? It’s not about a person, system or organizational skills. It’s about the end result.

Creative roles are on the rise and are constantly evolving. It is important to find the right person who will correlate well with your brand and is up to date with their experience and user experience application.
