the power of imaginative people
We explore new ways to connect to audiences
Creative minds don’t process problems the same way butchers, bakers and candlestick makers do. It’s not a matter of technique or applied methods: creatives are just wired differently. They dream differently. Most engineers and accountants (and, yes, candlestick artisans) can apply tested processes to get to solutions; top creatives take a left turn off the process path. Their imaginations find refreshing new ways to show and tell. They succeed best, of course, when they’re strategically anchored.
We believe in imagination, yes...
Great storytelling, yes, but always anchored to sound strategies. If they remember the cool graphics and famous celebrity, but not your brand name...We believe in disruption, yes...
If anchored in strategy. It’s cool to trend on TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, or be the latest meme, but it’s better to move the needle. To increase your sales.We believe in Surprise and Delight, yes...
But we never forget the practical outcome that the strategy is aiming for. As our tire manufacturer client used to ask us,"Nice idea, but will it move hoops?"Tie a ribbon to the balloon; let it rise
Both hemispheres of the brain get involved in the Anchored Creativity process, and get used to their best advantage. Fill the tank with information, load up on actionable research, dig in to consumer insights, put together a powerful Creative Brief. All that structure is needed to build a launch pad for the right-brained dreamers.
The anchor tied to a balloon, that mild restraint, that anchor, keeps it from floating away, and optimizes the message. It’s not a new methodology, or a proprietary process. It’s tried and true. Anchored Creativity is, however, a fresh way to express it, which explains why we put a ™ on it.
