3. You won’t make it big from home if you stay small.
Many successful creative professionals get their start taking freelance clients and working from home. But if you ever want your business to grow beyond this point, you’re going to need a nicer space, a better location, bigger resources, and a creative environment that helps you get your work done. Creative Consortium Group provides a wide price range of spaces and memberships to allow even those creatives with a modest budget to secure a location in the most sought-after area in Dallas.
4. An entire floor of creative minds is better than one.
Creative professionals need other creative professionals to bounce ideas around, discuss concepts and issues, and relax. Overcoming the creative block is much easier when you have others working around you.
5. You’re only as good as your conference table - get out of your home office.
Clients aren’t interested in discussing comps over your coffee table or trying to find your small agency in an obscure location. And you don’t want burn time driving across town visiting every client’s business. You need a professional presence for your customers and that includes access to an impressive entry with water feature and reception area, a well-appointed conference room, meeting rooms, a sound-insulated media presentation room, business offices, and comfortable conversation areas. The Creative Consortium Group takes up the entire fifth floor of the Office Tower at Mockingbird Station. That’s over 12,000 square feet of creative heaven to make your clients feel a little less at home and a lot more important.
6. Hold the phone.
There’s nothing that will make your life easier as a creative than having reception services and a high tech phone system. Taking all your own phone calls leads to interrupted work, disrupted meetings, and wasted time listening to solicitors who want to sell you something. At Creative Consortium Group we even offer syncing your voicemail with Outlook to keep all your messages organized and catalogued. Set the tone of professionalism with your clients from the first phone call and immediately improve the image your business is projecting.
7. There’s no accounting for bad taste.
But there IS accounting available for those with good taste. Creative Consortium Group offers consolidated accounting and billing for your creative business. We even provide credit card processing for your clients who prefer plastic. Turn over all that paperwork to professionals, and spend your time pushing paint and pixels instead of paperwork. Or you could play a round of golf instead.
8. Say goodbye to inkjet cartridges.
And say hello to a professional Xerox DocuColor 260. You know you could have purchased your own DocuColor with all the money you’ve wasted on inkjet cartridges over the years - over $49,000 worth! Or maybe you have a small agency and are constantly having to fight with your vendor to keep your printer/copier running. At Creative Consortium Group we provide a complete document proofing center so you can provide your clients with high-end, color-accurate proofs every time.
9. Professional by association.
ASI and PIA/GATF membership benefits are provided to all Creative Consortium Group members. You don’t have to join a bunch of industry associations to reap all the benefits.
10. Vendors don’t cater to individual creatives and small agencies, but they do cater to us.
Keeping up with the latest information from your vendors can be time-consuming and expensive. We take pride in our associations with a variety of local vendors from paper suppliers to printers to software developers. At Creative Consortium Group we even have a special area dedicated to showcasing a huge selection of samples from pre-screened, reputable vendors. Through the Consortium you have better access to state-of-the-art technology, up-to-date samples, and all the contacts you need to complete your big project.
