What Makes Brands Re-Hire the Same Photographers & Retouchers?Put yourself in the shoes of a commercial client for a moment. Brand personnel responsible for creating promotional materials are very busy people: πΈ They carry the heavy responsibility of conceptualizing and executing creative projects that yield measurable and significant financial results. πΈ They want to work with creative professionals who will make their job easier. πΈThey don't want to constantly gamble on project outcomes or repeatedly explain the nuances and unique requirements to new hired creatives over and over again. If you get them once, they will want to hire you again because now YOU are the creator who knows exactly what they need. You have already proven that you can successfully complete their projects and communicate effectively. Every subsequent job you do together will be easier for both you and them.
