MBC Agenda Day 3, 11 July

Creativity and Inspiration

Creativity is the ingredient that turns advertising into something capable of capturing the imagination of consumers and having a long-term impact. To truly stand out in a world of over-exposure, brands need to be inspirational, not only in their messaging, but in the channels through which they choose to communicate. Our speakers will inspire you to unlock the power of creativity and anchor it to the heart of your pitch.

11:30 Creativity is Key to All Progress

Creativity isn’t a job title – nor is it about being able to write poetry. According to its dictionary definition, creativity is simply looking at your surrounding, no matter your professional field or personal interests. We’re all born with creativity, and yet society, the workplace and education teach us to think and act in ways that can limit our creative thinking. Kev Chesters is out to stop all that. And unleash the new, different, innovative thinkers within all of us. Based on his best-selling book, ‘The Creative Nudge’.

Kevin Chesters, Strategist & Author, The Creative Nudge
