#3 - How to Spot Real Design Talent (And Avoid Template Traps) - feat. Brendan Furnish
In a world where everyone calls themselves a creative, how can business owners tell who’s legit—and who’s just selling templates in disguise?
In this episode of Over The Bull, we sit down with a 30-year design veteran to talk about what separates real creative work from the cookie-cutter designs flooding the market. We cover what happens when businesses undervalue originality, the hidden cost of hiring the wrong designer, and how to qualify creative partners—even if you don’t know anything about design yourself.
With Google attributing up to 70% of ad success to creative and Meta reporting 56% ROI impact from design on Facebook and Instagram, the message is clear: creative isn’t just pretty—it’s performance.
If you’re working with a designer, thinking of hiring one, or just wondering if your branding’s actually doing its job, this one’s worth your time.
