  When managing a few people or projects, it’s easy to keep all the information in your head. Project details are practically absorbed through osmosis as you attend team meetings and overhear office conversation. But as creative teams grow, maintaining visibility becomes difficult. Gone are the days of shouting across desks for status updates. The explosion of projects and a growing remote workforce have made regular face-to-face meetings a thing of  the past. Verbal updates are imprecise and easily forgotten, and tracking progress via email is a recipe for inbox avalanches, confusing threads, and forgotten CCs. The last thing you want to do is micromanage or bog down your team with frequent check-ins. With the right collaborative work management tool, you won’t have to. Instead, you’ll be able to see work as it’s being done. You’ll even receive automatic, real-time notifications when high-stakes  projects move forwardor fall behind. This level of visibility allows you to...

  Work is duplicated or slips through the cracks entirely. Feedback is conflicting and given at the wrong moments. Files and emails go missing, meetings eat into creative time, and handoffs feel like acts of faith. Leading collaborative work management solutions centralize conversations from across email, spreadsheets, and other messy mediums into a single shared workspace. All communication is kept in the context of specific projects, tasks, or files.  Roles are clearly defined and work is assigned accordingly. Collaborators are notified of comments and  in real-time, streamlining handoffs and shortening feedback loops. But collaboration doesn’t stop within your team or organization. With the right project management tool, you can easily collaborate with external clients and contractors. These stakeholders will see only the information you choose to share with them. Choosing a  that integrates with popular tools like Slack and Gmail is also important, particularly f...

  Each company and team has its own creative process, so it’s important to select a flexible collaborative work management system. You’ll want the ability to create custom project workflows and status updates based on your team’s process. Integrations with the tools your team already uses, like Slack and Gmail, also organize projects and communication without disrupting existing workflows. Not everyone organizes their work in lists. Some prefer  platform you choose should be versatile enough for team members to manage work in the way that makes them most comfortable. According to an iStock-commissioned survey of 400 creatives across the US and UK, about 25% of creatives spend less than two hours a day actually doing creative work. Choose a system that limits administrative work and keeps your team in the creative tools they love. For example, Wrike’s Adobe Creative Cloud extension  allows creatives to access tasks, leave comments, upload documents, and more from directly ...

  High-growth companies usually have a pretty clear idea of who they serve and how they as a company can and will serve those customers better than the competition. Also, their customers have a solid positive ‘brand’ image for the retailer based on a combination of their experiences, and even the employees are able to express what makes their employer different and their own role in that result. While this may either seem obvious or the importance of it overstated, it is one of the most basic elements of success. The companies  that grew had a plan in mind as to where they were headed and why, and built their actions around that. There are several key concepts that are fairly straightforward but which can be extremely useful when working to identify and create a competitive advantage for a given company. Managers at the biggest retailers are generally familiar with these concepts and are pretty good at using them, but even they occasionally make disastrous miscalculations (we...

  Experience marketing has become more and more popular with businesses all around as demands and needs evolve and technology advances.
