What is the role of\u00a0<\/strong>a<\/strong>\u00a0Creative Technologist<\/strong>?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Keep up with tech trends\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first mission of the Creative Technologist is to keep abreast of the latest technologies, trends and industry events.\u00a0That is to say, everything a specialist in innovation should be aware of.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Understand the\u00a0organisation\u00a0and manage information\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, they must have a good\u00a0understanding of the company\u2019s\u00a0culture to be able to\u00a0ensure proper\u00a0distribution of information within the company and with the outside world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

They\u00a0know how to manage a project internally as well as externally,\u00a0ensuring that\u00a0information always flows correctly between the different teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Invent, experiment and\u00a0create prototypes\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Creative Technologist must also be able to\u00a0deliver\u00a0innovative\u00a0ideas by going beyond traditional means.\u00a0They\u00a0must know how to design\u00a0digital\u00a0solutions\u00a0and imagine how they could be used by the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After having experienced\u00a0with a\u00a0piece of\u00a0software, an application or a service, they must make prototypes (demos) to present them internally or to\u00a0their\u00a0client.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Required skills<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Communication skills\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Creative Technologist is in constant contact with the marketing department and teams of developers or creatives.\u00a0They are\u00a0also called upon to meet with multiple interlocutors during presentations, site\u00a0visits and calls for tenders.\u00a0Therefore, they\u00a0must be able to\u00a0introduce\u00a0a technology\u00a0or solution\u00a0in an educational way and convince the\u00a0audience\u00a0of its advantages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ability to anticipate and estimate\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Creative Technologist must be able to estimate the costs generated by the digital products and uses\u00a0they propose. Before the project materializes,\u00a0they\u00a0must anticipate all stages, from pre-production to\u00a0daily operations,\u00a0to\u00a0identify any problems that may prevent the idea or project from working.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strong technical background\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Creative Technologist must have very good knowledge of computer languages and software, as well as\u00a0master digital communication techniques.\u00a0They are often\u00a0coders\u00a0and computer\u00a0scientists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Within the industry<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The profession of Creative Technologist is halfway between design and research and requires great versatility.\u00a0Although\u00a0Creative Technologists are still\u00a0relatively few, their future is very promising in digital and general communication agencies.\u00a0Their expertise is increasingly important to\u00a0companies that need to be able to quickly\u00a0respond to new\u00a0and evolving\u00a0consumer trends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Salary<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The average daily rate of a\u00a0Creative Technologist\u00a0is between \u20ac800\u00a0and \u20ac1,500.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Training<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

There is no specific training\u00a0at this time\u00a0for the role of Creative Technologist. The profession is accessible to IT professionals (project managers, developer, etc.) and communication professionals,\u00a0requiring\u00a0solid experience and strong technical and digital skills. However, a college degree\u00a0is highly recommended. Advanced knowledge\u00a0of\u00a0UX (User Experience), ergonomics, information architecture, development, graphics,\u00a0and\u00a0marketing and communications\u00a0are highly appreciated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In terms of career development,\u00a0there is\u00a0no clear path:\u00a0the\u00a0Creative\u00a0Technologist follows the evolution of market needs, the movement of technological innovations and current cultural trends while\u00a0trying to anticipate\u00a0the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
