Creative Fission for Marketers - Virtual

Seats are limited and confirmation of attendance will be required in advance of the session.

Creativity is a skill that can be the difference-maker when it comes to innovation, market differentiation, customer messaging, and even workflow efficiencies. Yet many businesses do not take the time to nourish the kind of creative thinking that leads to business success.

In this highly interactive workshop, led by a 30 year veteran of Leo Burnett as well as brands like Unilever, SC Johnson, and Kellogg’s, Marketing Managers and Directors will learn to harness the power of creative thinking to make a practical impact in their business. Using a series of simple definitions, processes, and tools we unlock the creative potential in each participant, and show that creativity is not a “talent” reserved for the lucky few but a skill that everyone can hone to generate new ideas and drive positive impact across the business. And, as a bonus, it is a lot of fun!
