What is it like to work fora commercial market?

A provoking opinion by an authority:

“What we do is actually service. Our task is to deal with problems, which is something many people from the branch do not accept. They think we are in the creative business. They do not want to be servants who are set jobs.”

David Sable, CEO Young & Rubicam, New York

We asked our colleagues 4 questions what is actually like in reality.

1Where do you see the main difference in the work for a commercial market?

“In comparison to non-commercial projects, there is no difference in principle. Design thinking and processes are still the same.”

Andrej, Senior designer

“What you have created has a massive impact. Millions of people see it every day.”

Jiri, Printing technology manager

“You don’t have absolute freedom to create things as you would like to. You have to understand the target group, category, etc.”

Lenka, Senior designer

2Which prerequisites do you perceiveas essential for the work on the commercial projects?

“The co-responsibility for the success or failure of your clients’ million-crown businesses is in your hands.”

Perta, Senior account manager

“For these projects you need a strong team. Regarding our agency, it is usually 10-15 people on the project. But it can aslo be 25.”

Jiri, Creative director & co-owner

“Like a good brand manager. To understand strategy, shopper marketing, need segmentation. But mainly - to have common sense.”

Martin, Brand strategy & business director

“I have to see what the brand wants to say about itself and about the product and how it is met through its design.”

Libor, Art director

3What new things did you have to learn to work on commercial projects?

“You have to learn to read between the lines of clients’ briefs to get to the bottom of things.”

Matous, Designer

“How shoppers usually behave when shopping. You have 1 second to grab their attention and be successful.”

Renata, Designer and Marketa, Art director

“To understand how consumers think, what they appreciate. To be able to judge how they will react to changes.”

Tereza, Senior designer & illustrator

4What is the main contribution for you personally regarding commercial

market projects?

“In each project you can find new and inspiring impulses. Even where you’re not expecting them at all.”

Ondrej, Pre-production manager

“I enjoy it! I love design and food creativity and this is exactly what commercial projects bring me.”

Adela, Food designer & food stylist

“Sometimes you’re playing nicely. Sometimes like a child, sometimes you feel you’re among children.”

Sarka, Senior retouch specialist

“You bring life to stories. Many brands have just an amazing history, whose rediscovering is great work.”

Jiri, Creative director & co-owner

Re-design of JUPÍ Superhustý

“Don’t be afraid of simple ideas! Our idea ‘A drop of Jupí, a lot of taste’ became both a concept of the redesign and the claim of the campaign.”
