Creative Process
Individualism.
Vs.
Collaboration
How we birth creativity.
Individualist Perspective
•  Sole Initiative towards decision making
• it encourages peer competition/ Boosts creativity
• Promotes self discovery
•  Breeds Narcissim
• Personal goal over all
• Destructive to social creativity in the long run
Mind Mapping :
An Individualist approach to creativity
Creative Process
•  Team work toward achieving group goals
•  Fosters cross fertilization of ideas
• Enable’s group to benefit from all participants
•  Narcissist opinion could kill a stronger idea
• Requires strict adherence to rules
• Could easily become another social gathering
Collaborative Perspective
•  Fosters creativity among peers
•  Expands ideas
• Encourages the process and level of thinking
•  Increases personal and agency productivity
• Empowers you to think on your own
Brainstorming:
A collaborative approach to Creativity
BIG IDEA Theory
Client Ideas Award Ideas
The Theory
of Client Ideas
“ Whatever Agency “ video.
The Client Service Agency
Why do clients reject
really good Big ideas?
Do you speak my Language?
• Market Oriented
• 
• Consumer Focused
• Sales Driven
• USP empowered
• Realistic
• Market Share
Classic client Idea
turn award Idea.
From product centric
to Social enablement

Creative Process
The Theory
of Award Ideas
Why some Big ideas
always win Big!
Jury look for…
• The artistic
• Revolutionary
• Solid human truth
• Engagement
• Fantasy
•  Social share
A chat with David Nobay, Creative Chairman

turn world’s longest client fling.
From award winning to consumer involving.
“ Nike- Greatness “ video.
Weiden+Kennedy Portland
Creative Process
Finally,
Classic Hybrid Idea
Consumers want …
• Entertainment
• I see myself in it appeal
• True to reality
• Not a product sale.
• Audience Cheer
Once in a while…
Some agencies import
genius thinking
standard v
“ MTN I don Port“ video.
DDB Lagos
Hybrid
Ideas?
Award
Ideas?
Client
Ideas?
Do the creative process for each differ or are they same?
Take out
• Have a vision
• Better still, have an idea
• Outline your objectives
• Plan & follow your creative process
• Always involve the PEOPLE, make it social
• Evaluate, measure, and reapply with improvements
