During my life as a creative person I never tried to work away from my team, I found that creativity is something that is not easy with isolation. Creatives struggle with current events and almost make us "sofa dreamers".

My path at Softway started around six months ago. It is fair to say I was a little green coming out of college. Although I had some experience freelancing, I still needed to meet the corporate reality of a company. One of the things that impressed me the most was the attention to detail in the projects we developed as a web design and web development company. It was perhaps the biggest adaptation I had to go through so far.

We use and abuse digital, companies feel more than ever that it is time to communicate online with articles on their websites and social networks, with informative newsletters, activating chats and WhatsApp on websites to facilitate communication, creating webinars to share knowledge and more.

Why write a text, record a video, prepare a presentation, if you don't analyze whether the target audience for that content finds you and, even more, after finding you, what do they do? read the article? buy the product? send an email? ...

A month has passed since Portugal has gone home and teams became remote at all costs. The web is growing exponentially, and remote leadership was imposed on  a great team that makes new daily commits on websites that demand innovation and communication by the minute.

We already lived in an era that everything that happened, passed through the internet. But we went to stores and physical offices. Nowadays, and for an indeterminate time, we can only be online. And we believe that, in the future, our mindset will be mostly online, regardless of each generation.

The past couple of weeks have forced a change that was already being imposed in this world that in a few years made digital important and, in a few days, made it mandatory. We are discovering that it is possible for the world to take on an increasingly digital form and for people to be closer and more human.

Last week was tough and challenging, but full of energy. It was a pride to see our team united remotely in the most challenging multitasking of our lives that gathered work, family, study, following the news, managing anxieties, responding quickly, keeping up and resolving.
