Project Guidelines: One Submission vs. Separate Projects
Learn what constitutes a single Flocksy project (multi-category, multiple versions) versus when to submit separate projects for different brands or new creative directions.
Understanding what belongs in a single project submission versus what should be separate projects is key to maximizing your daily hours and ensuring efficient delivery.
What Is Considered A Project?
Projects that fall within the scope of a single deliverable or campaign and share the same core requests can often be grouped:
- Multi-Category Needs (Collaborative Units): You can combine related services into one submission (e.g., requesting a social media post design and the copywriting for the caption).
- Multiple Versions: If you need the final files in multiple formats, sizes, or colors (e.g., a logo in SVG, PNG, and a specific color palette), this can be handled in a single project.
- Continuous Projects: For ongoing, repeatable work that follows the same scope and guidelines (e.g., adding a second week of social posts to an existing project), you can simply request it within the same project.
When to Submit Separate Projects
Separate projects are suggested when the requests involve fundamentally different creative directions, brands, or significant changes in scope:
- Different Brands/Brand Profiles: If the work is for a separate brand with distinct guidelines, it should be a new project attached to that specific Brand Profile.
- New Creative Direction: If the original project is finalized, and you need to start a completely new campaign or a fresh design concept, then you would create a new project.
- Unrelated Deliverables: A request for a new website banner and a new video edit, while both creative, are best handled as separate projects so the correct specialists can queue them simultaneously.
