Creative Studio
The departments, roles, and systems a creative studio needs, mapped
What it solves
Creative studios win work on portfolio and proposals, then grow when projects turn into retainers. This map lays out five departments, including Pitch & Close, Do the Creative Work, and Keep Clients, with roles like proposal writer, creative lead, and feedback and revisions, so you can see which hats you wear and which one to hand off next.
What this is worth: A consultant designs your org at $150 to $300 an hour.

Questions, answered
Keep Clients names a feedback and revisions role alongside an account manager and a retainer or upsell role, the pieces the map ties to turning one-off projects into retainers.
Yes. Pitch & Close covers proposals and calls that win the right projects at the right price, with a sales or account lead, a proposal writer, and a scheduler.
Run the Business includes a tools and software role next to bookkeeping and ops admin, so someone owns the stack your studio runs on. If nobody does, you mark it GAP.
