The Role of Creativity in Marketing

Creativity holds a crucial role in marketing and is often undervalued within the industry. The traditional billable hour model used by many agencies can hinder creativity, as it doesn't align well with innovative thinking or the long-term value of marketing strategies. Instead of merely justifying marketing efforts internally, marketers must advocate for creativity and take responsibility for asserting its importance in business decisions. This shift in mindset is vital for ensuring that marketing is respected as a serious business function within organizations.
