Exploring Small Ax Creative as a Company

The big question many initially have is how creative ideation works. What is it? How can it help brands get the results they want?

Small Ax Creative recruits a select group of creators to be a part of an ideation think tank. This is done for each project independently. The creators work within the specified budget to develop at least two concepts for the end-user. That means a client is not receiving an idea that doesn’t fit their needs. At the same time, specifying the budget from the start helps to keep the creator in line with the company’s financial needs – no idea is designed without being producible within the approved budget. That means every client can count on all ideas that are presented to them being producible within their financial expectations – the project is something they can afford.

The creators are paid for the work they do on the development aspect of the project. A good way to look at this model and understand how it works is to focus on what happens in crowdsourced projects. Typically, many groups of people work on spec to create ideas for the client in a crowdsourced project. No one gets paid anything if their ideas are not produced. At Small Ax Creative, our creators are always paid for the development work they execute, eliminating the ineffective and abusive practices employed in the crowdsourcing model.

What does this mean for the client? A given ideation may develop 15 to 20 project concepts. Then, the team at Small Ax Creative presents 5 to 10 of those concepts to the client. The client is able to choose exactly what they want and need. Then, they are produced by the creator that’s behind the original idea. Small Ax Creative continues to oversee and manage the project with the client and creator or, in some cases, hands off the product to a professional production team to complete. It’s that easy, and it works very well to achieve the end goals of the client.

Is This a Traditional Video Production Company?

No, it’s really not what most would expect. In fact, Small Ax Creative is not a traditional video production agency at all, even though the team can help companies to produce and complete their video – or any component of it – in a seamless manner.

Rather, the company is a dynamic creative and a production shop. It consists of a group of individuals who are hand-picked to provide these services – and they are creating content for some of the biggest and best brands out there.

How Can You Work with Small Ax Creative?

The process is very easy for clients who need marketing content, video editing, or any other type of service. Most of the time, the creators and team at Small Ax Creative work alongside the brand’s marketing team to gather information and ideas about what the goal is of any specific campaign or video need. This helps to bring creative ideas to life because it provides creators with a starting point they can work from to help support the client in the process of creating a video.

In short, clients work closely with the team at Small Ax Creative to ensure they get the very best start to their project. Then, the team of creators who are hand-picked for the client’s project go to work creating ideas. This ideation process is an outstanding way to get fresh new ideas and a different perspective overall. Small Ax Creative is the partner the client needs to get the work done efficiently. This partnership can be through your existing agency or like 70 percent of our clients it can be directly with your internal marketing teams as an extension of your marketing arm.
