2Tell us a bit about your business and what you do.
We work on forming strong, valuable and adaptable ideas that are followed through to execution.
3Congratulations! As the winner of the 2018 Muse Creative Awards, what does winning this award mean to you and your team?
Neat Creative is showcased on a broader scale and allows for opportunities to access more challenging, creative and rewarding work. This long-tail advantage of the award is well worth the blood, sweat, and tears put into winning it.
4Where do you see the evolution of creative industry going over the next 5-10 years?
It is impossible to ignore that technology is forever changing and we all have to adapt to it.
There are many platforms that use drag-and-drop features and layouts to design, share and print business cards, logos, presentations, etc.
We choose to work with clients who share a vision that extends far beyond those constraints and challenge the status quo.
However, we also value these platforms for start-up businesses without budgets, willing to invest their own time adding value to their brand. It is those clients who we will meet up with again.
On a side note, it is important to acknowledge some of the social media platforms. These allow our studio to focus on custom design and content supported
