Promoting your In-House Team: Demonstrating your value, getting the jobs you want and receiving the recognition you deserve

A 4-Part Panel Series for In-House Creative Teams

What does it really take to thrive as an in-house creative today? From building influence and managing internal clients to reigniting creativity and understanding where in-house design is headed, this four-part panel series brings together experienced in-house leaders for candid, practical conversations about the realities of working inside organizations.

Across four sessions throughout the year, you’ll hear honest perspectives, proven strategies, and real-world lessons from creatives who understand the unique challenges—and opportunities—of in-house work. Each panel dives into a different aspect of the in-house experience, offering actionable insights to help you strengthen relationships, advocate for your team, stay creatively energized, and navigate the evolving role of design within your organization.

Thursday, January 22 – Promoting your In-House Team: Demonstrating your value, getting the jobs you want and receiving the recognition you deserve
Designed for in-house designers at all stages of their careers, this series offers space to learn, reflect, and connect with peers facing the same day-to-day realities.

In-house creative teams often find themselves in organizations that don’t completely understand the business value of design and the expertise your team can bring to the table. Many in-house creatives have realized it’s up to them to tell their own story and educate those around them in order to advance the strategic role of design in their organization. Join us for a panel discussion on promoting the role of creative in-house.
