Creative Media Careers

Creativity is more than just an idea, it is a business. The creative business is both exciting and challenging – exciting because you are dealing with a product that relies on ideas, challenging because you have to produce those ideas. Creativity and the generation of ideas are abstract processes that rely on creative minds, and the creative minds of media companies are its producers, directors, writers, and designers. It is their creativity that allows the business to flourish and be profitable.

"When I first came to coaching I was really unsure about the direction in which my career was heading. Moving On worked with me to clarify my goals and put in place strategies for achieving the outcomes I desired. I now have much more confidence in my decisions and a clear vision of my future."

The creativity of the staff is the company’s most valuable asset and needs to be nurtured. Ideas can be blocked, the right word not found, the visual not balanced. In such instances, creativity is stifled. As an individual, you may feel you need guidance towards your career and creative goals. As a team, you may need to find the key to your creative potential. For the company as a whole, this can mean the difference between profit and loss.

Moving On understands the creative process and knows how to nurture creative staff. Its founder, Kevin Ryan, worked in illustrated publishing as a designer and art editor for twenty years. Through close interaction with authors, editors and designers, he understands both the creative pressures that people work under and the immense pressure of the media world.
