For creatives, perspective is tomorrow's most valuable skill
Briefly

Creative opportunities are thriving, driven by technological progress and platforms such as Instagram and TikTok that lower barriers for creators. Greater emphasis is placed on portfolios rather than formal qualifications, allowing diverse voices to emerge. However, entry-level positions are more competitive and challenging under client pressure for efficiency, pushing for leaner teams reliant on experienced talent. The industry is evolving, highlighting the need for nurturing unique creative perspectives, influenced by personal experiences and networks, to navigate its complexities and uncertainties effectively.
Technology advances and platforms like Instagram and TikTok have dramatically lowered the barriers to create work and share it with the world.
The expectation is often to self-manage and deliver with minimal oversight-something that's inherently more difficult for those just starting out.
Nurturing creativity isn't about learning specific skills in design, VFX, production, writing, and more. Instead, it's about perspective.
The accessibility of creative tools-and their ease of use-have opened the industry to fresh voices and perspectives.
