WHY IT EXISTS

The public conversation is too polished to be useful.

Everyone is publishing, posting, predicting, and presenting. The result is a lot of commentary that sounds confident but rarely helps you make a better decision.

The most valuable perspectives are still shared in the conversation after the panel, the dinner after the conference, the call before the board meeting, or the candid exchange between people who know the public answer isn't the whole answer.

Ideation: Powering Creative Breakthroughs

Creativity can’t be quantified or manufactured. It can’t be prompted. It’s a uniquely human capability that can underpin breakthroughs that move businesses and brands forward in incremental steps every day and sometimes, in leaps that permanently and positively shift markets and people’s lives.

The core of that change lies in ideation: a combination of individual and collaborative inspiration, iteration, and innovation. It takes the bare bones of a thought or idea and harnesses creativity to build it into a concept that fires the imagination. Ultimately, it underlies a campaign, product, or service that people clamor for, often not realizing they needed or wanted it until creativity breathed it into existence.

The next Off Record takes marketing and business leaders inside the process of creative ideation. We’ll explore how strong concepts are developed, how they get pushed beyond the expected, and how to create the conditions for ideation that result in positive momentum for your organization.
