Wake Up Call: How to cut through red tape with creative problem solving
BCI Webinar
No matter the project there’s always a compromise to be made, a political issue to navigate, or a budget vs scope question. A project is seldom the ‘director’s cut’, but how do the greatest agencies use their best asset – their creativity – to turn these limitations into original work with the most effective outcomes?
In this session, Adam Millbank will walk you through proper brainstorming techniques and teach you how to SCAMPER, a method of pulling something apart to see if it can be done better. He’ll then use some case study examples to illustrate them in action.
This webinar will be particularly suited to agencies, creatives, project leaders, project coordinators, BD, and account managers.
About Adam
Adam co-founded video production agency JonesMillbank 12 years ago. Today they’re a Certified B Corp with a diverse client portfolio from IDLES to the NHS, SOHO Coffee Co, The British Library, Battersea and The Royal Mint. Whether through TV commercials or online content, they connect brands to people whilst avoiding the ordinary. Adam loves nothing more than the concept phase of a project; how a team can take a brief and create something unique that connects on a human level. He claims that the lockdown years presented his team with creative challenges like never before, yet challenges that produced some of their greatest work.
