Part 1 of a 4-part series on Project Management by contributor Annika Vaughan, MBA, PMP
By Annika Vaughan, MBA, PMP
A few years ago, I was working at one of the UN agencies based in Rome, in what can be described as a typical in-house creative agency. The team consisted of a creative director, chief copywriter (who was also my mentor), senior designer, contract designer, social media/distribution specialists and a bunch of others including a writer, editor, production coordinator, video/photo shooter and strategist.

So, if your team is tired of living in the creative chaos, and wants to please the clients and save money and time, project management is the way to go!
Coming up next on March 3rd: Part 2 – Tips and tricks: Five easy steps to implementing project management.
