Who

are

the

Creatives?

Just designers, artists, musicians, dancers, actors, architects? Just arty types? No, a creative is anybody who imagines something that doesn’t yet exist and nurtures that vision from imagination to reality using their determination, skill and personality.

So, do you work with creatives? Very likely, yes. Most of us work with creative people in some way. Your company might be public or private, work within the service sector, manufacturing, finance, technology, the arts or education. Your creatives might be in creative jobs or they might simply work in a creative way.

We hope you have lots of these people in your organisation working in all departments and at all levels. Would you thrive or even survive without them?

A typical Creative

recognise

our

Creatives?

All humans are creative and they’re doing all kinds of job. Creativity is not limited to the ‘creative industries’ of artists, actors, musicians, designers, architects, dancers, writers and all their friends. Creativity extends way beyond the ‘creative industries’ - it’s everywhere, it’s vitally important, and it needs looking after. Do you work with these creatives, here are just three, recognise them?
