Have We Nullified Our Ability to be Creative?
Everything sounds like everything else. Everything looks like everything else. The “blown away” power is gone - where’s the next Apple Computer “1984” advertisement? What’s caused us to forget how to have fun? Are we scared of reaction? Are we afraid to be different?
Let’s figure out where the creativity went, and how to get it back. It’s still there - we’ve just squashed it. Let’s unsquash it, take it out, iron out the creases, and realize that what passes for creativity today in the world of marketing is 99% dreck. This workshop will teach you how to rise above the dreck.
