Creative Resource

To understand how AI is impacting day-to-day, at Creative Resource we asked leaders from Agencies across the North how AI is changing their businesses, from structures and skills needs to recruitment and reskilling. The findings show a sector in transition. AI is no longer hypothetical: it’s embedded in creative workflows, accelerating output and transforming roles. But alongside enthusiasm sits uncertainty: Which skills should be prioritised? How can agencies keep human creativity at the centre? What will the agency of the future look like? We’ve summarised the findings in a report and highlighted what they mean for agency leaders, if you’d like to receive a copy of the report get in touch with Phil Cookson or Julie Ollerton

We’ve been talking to Agency owners and Finance leads over the summer in an attempt to tailor our services better and make them more affordable at a time when belts are being tightened all round in Agencies. If this sounds like something of interest read on. We know that recruitment fees are high and pricing seems completely arbitrary, why a percentage of salary? It doesn’t actually work for us either. We’ve got some very unique ideas for alternative payment structures, that would have most recruiters tearing their hair out but from the conversations we’ve had we know they’re more appealing to Agencies. So if you want to work with a specialist recruiter but not have a large invoice land on someone’s start date, get in touch…
