Great Surprises

Something that we have to do here in the creative department is try to discover new ways to entertain people.  Well not so much new ways but new expressions. This past year we created a character. Well not so much a new character but a new expression on that character. There was some nervousness about [...]

Praise Creatives

Praising creatives. Doesn’t seem like something you should have to do…. Aren’t these the people that have so much energy and ego that they don’t need some halfhearted thank you. I’m starting to find out that they are the most in need feedback.  I think whether its positive or negative they need something.

Do you call yourself creative?

I took a small break to collect myself. That’s only part of the story.
