Treats for your Brain

I’m looking forward to starting a class next week; “Social Media Marketing.”  I’m taking a class because I find that I really need the stimulation of a controlled setting to be the most creative.  I work well within boundaries.

Do you know how you’re creativity works?  It’s a great thing to know about yourself.  If you’re not sure, try lots of different approaches to creativity.  Explore when you feel the most open and comfortable being zany.  Zaniness is often a pre-cursor to hitting on a great idea.

One thing I’m pondering today, in an effort to keep my brain fresh, is thinking about how we could make the fun Hallowe’en atmosphere in my office into an opportunity for our company.  Here’s what I’ve come up with:

1. Imagining we had a company blog, we could make ourselves more human by posting the creative costumes we each wore (like JWT allowed AdSpy to do from their Hallowe’en party)
2. Producing videos for client products in costume and putting it on YouTube
3. Visiting our clients and reverse trick-or-treating (giving them candy while we’re dressed up)

That’s all I’ve got at the moment, but there are so many more things that could happen based on what type of company you’re at!
