Here’s what you don’t know! Most of the real work happens long before a client sees the first draft.
Clients see the final design, the campaign, the copy, and the results.
They do not see the research, the strategy calls, the dropped ideas, or the quiet problem-solving behind it.
They do not see the details checked, the internal reviews, or how many ideas fail before one strong idea survives.
And that hidden work is what often makes the final work look simple. And there are a few things that make this work even better.
→ Early context from clients.
→ Clear thinking shared by agencies.
→ Timelines that are honest and achievable.
→ Short check-ins that remove assumptions.
When clients understand the process, trust grows. When agencies communicate openly, partnerships become stronger.
