Time to start planning your Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity schedule if you haven’t already. Make sure to give a quick listen to WARC ‘s Amy Rodgers top picks from the Creative Impact track so you can save the spots for the sessions in your calendars. Which ones are you most excited about? #MakeItWarc #CreativeImpact #CreativeImpact24 #BoldMindsBoldMoves

Let’s talk empathy, but also: is designing from empathy just a new way of dressing up arrogance? Should we approach with sympathy or compassion first? And where does vulnerability fit into the design process? And is trust a byproduct or key ingredient? So excited to dig into all these questions this October in Amsterdam at the Design Thinking Conference. Hope to see you there! #designthinkingconference #designthinking #UX #contentstrategy #trustworthybook

Are you looking at Linked In differently since last weekend? Are you looking at everything a little more fearsomely as the drama builds in the US and around the world? Are you nicely, instead, continuing to just get on where you are, in your flow? You're on to something if you're in creative flow state, but in politically troubling times, with social trends continuing to spice up like the climate numbers you're also trying to ignore, I suggest it takes a certain kind of expressive consciousness to choose making stuff over letting stuff be plundered. But how to find the courage? Or know where to start. In my latest Expo I share some thoughts around the informal recording of my interview for Pier Journal's summer edition with the energising Nicola Cartlidge from AUB, Venues & Events manager now holding the keys to the Palace Court Theatre. And you'll hear, as she walks me around the building, it's a lesson in how to hold space together for working up cultural resilience. If you want futures to be excited about more than scared of, this is example of how we do it. Hope over to Substack now to read and listen – this week's Unsee The Future expo: "Fearful times need bold creativity – and holding space together for what that means from each of us." https://lnkd.in/eSnXbVsX #futures #politics #art #theatre #creativity #storytelling #culturalstrategy #sustainability #artschool #resilience #UnseeTheFuture

What's a wild Friday night in your house? For us it was watching WESTAF's pre-recorded discussion on new models for investing in the arts. I am not lying when I say there was actual clapping at the TV and overly emotive texting to friends and colleagues. Turns out we are charting a new path here with Co-Stellar and I'm excited to partner with organizations and friends who have made progress in this direction already. ✨ #togetherbetter #emergentstrategy #whynot?! #creativeeconomy #CDFIs #OpportunityFinance

Excited to get over to Manchester to see the best of the best at the Market Research Society (MRS) show tomorrow. It’s a really great line up. We didn’t need confirmation, but can’t wait to see Karen Schofield and Liga Magdalenoka-Keen in action. The VERY best of the best. Insight without impact is nothing. So story telling and theatre is something we all need to think about. Where’s the insight? ‘It’s behind you!’ #consumerresearch #marketresearch #mrx https://lnkd.in/ebds8Bty

Impressive transformation. Well done to all involved.

Reimagining the future through museums with Maggie Greyson MDes, APF and Hillary Spencer, whom I know and who are doing beautiful work to transform what museums can be! Check their conversation in this recorded video!

🎬 The Association of Independent Commercial Producers has outdone themselves with their latest film, portraying Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo navigating the complex dance of feedback and creative negotiation. The dialogue feels like a direct transcript of those endless email threads, with everyone offering their two cents. "We like it, but can we change everything?" From passive-aggressive diplomacy to focus group insights and influencer input, it's a hilarious glimpse into the world of client feedback. ✨ Aspiring creators, take note: "It's hard to make museum-worthy art. It's even harder to make museum-worthy ads." This video serves as a gentle reminder of the challenges in the creative process. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the film: https://lnkd.in/eCVuzjyq #TheGoodCompany #TGC #MarketingFunFact #VanGogh #FridaKahlo
