A workshop given by Joe Fournet of Ideas & MORE to the Professional Development for Marketers SIG of the American Marketing Association Houston. It covers tips and techniques for idea generation and sparking creativity.
Creativity can manifest in several ways including creation of something new, refinement of something that exists and problem solving.
How do we support, enable and enhance the creative abilities of Agile teams?
There are many ways to shape the work environment for greater creativity. We will describe how creativity happens and can be enhanced by providing a safe, nurturing environment, enhancing group interactions, pacing activities that utilize different sensory modes and trusting in the power of subconscious integration
During my Nickelodeon internship, I was assigned a legacy project that would help the Integrated Marketing team brainstorm. I created different activities that would help the team come up with title, storyline and themes that would connect two different brands together. I created this presentation and led a fun and interactive activity with the Integrated Marketing department.
