Ah, the mythical great client. Some say it’s rarer than a unicorn doing yoga, but I’ve seen it—and let me tell you, it’s magical. As a creative director in healthcare advertising, I’ve learned that the perfect client boils down to three golden principles: transparency, trust, and strategic alignment.
First off, transparency. I’m not asking for a crystal ball, but I do need you to be real with me. If you hate the colour blue, let’s not wait until we’ve created a campaign called “The Power of Blue” to mention it. Be upfront, so we can avoid the awkward breakup conversations later. Think of it as couples therapy for brands and agencies—only with more mood boards and fewer tissues.
Then there’s trust. This is where the real fun happens. A great client lets us be creative without micromanaging every pixel or headline. It’s like letting your kid cook dinner—sure, they might burn the pasta, but sometimes they surprise you with a Michelin-worthy meal. Give us room to experiment, and who knows? We might just whip up something genius. (But no burnt pasta, I promise.)
Finally, strategic alignment—the “let’s-get-on-the-same-page” principle. You’ve got goals; we’ve got ideas. When these two things line up, it’s like peanut butter meeting jelly—delicious and unstoppable. If we’re aligned, not only will we create something that looks great, but it’ll also move the needle for your business. And isn’t that what we’re all here for? So, there you have it. A great client is someone who’s open, trusting, and strategically in sync. Together, we can conquer the healthcare world—or at least create some brilliant campaigns that make a real difference. And if a unicorn shows up in the process, well, that’s just a bonus.
