  • Content Creator is the magician that brings out the content planner/strategist vision so the customer can enjoy and consume the business content to their needs.
  • The designer is the one who knows how the content can be visually appealing for the customer. Motion visuals are the new currency, so designer that acts as the virtuoso needs to understand the interest of the market.
