We Are Not An Agency With Individuals, We Are Individuals With Agency
Every Ideasicle Expert has agency over themselves. Beyond their individual genius, their agency over themselves pays powerful dividends when it comes to virtual idea generation. Here’s why.
choice brings motivation.
When working at a traditional agency, creative people are assigned to accounts. Sure, the managers may take into account who the person is, past experience, and all that. But everyone has worked on an account they’d rather not work on, amiright? That never happens here.
Our pool of 40+ hand-picked Ideasicle Experts may be invited by me for a Proxy project or by one of our subscribers to a project. The Experts can review the timing, the nature of the assignment, the category, and the money. And then it’s up to them whether or not to accept the job. Are you in or are you out?
This one choice found in every job invitation leads to more motivated teams.
Think about what that means about their motivation if they accept your job and are ultimately assigned. They chose to work on it. I repeat, they chose to work on it. And that can make all the difference.
Empowers individuality.
Another benefit of being given agency over themselves is that the Experts can be confident they were invited for who they are right now. Not for who they will grow to become, but for what they can bring to this virtual table right this actual minute. That’s empowering.
When invited to an idea job, the Experts feel respected and, as such, feel permission to be who they truly are. When a creative person is assigned to an account at a traditional agency, there are various levels of calculous required in order to earn respect from the client with the hope one day they’ll get to be who they truly are. Further, individuality is a critical ingredient in our model: four different perspectives colliding on a problem.
The Ideasicle X model unbridles the creative team’s individual creativity.
When they say “market forces at work” these are the forces they’re talking about.
You may not be aware, but there are no rate cards when it comes to recruiting Ideasicle Experts with a subscription to the platform. The customer proposes a fee and the Ideasicle Experts can decide for themselves whether or not their time is worth the opportunity before them.
And let’s face it, no one is doing this for their health. All of the Experts work on the Ideasicle X platform to make money. But they also aren’t stupid. They will not work on jobs when they feel the money isn’t right. But this kind of agency over themselves also means those who accept an idea job will be in the right head space when it comes to finances. Which also speaks to motivation.
Agency is a powerful thing. Agencies are powerful things, too. But it’s our experience that when the Ideasicle Experts have agency over themselves it changes the game and accelerates creative idea generation.
