2023 UCDA Educators Summit: Same/ Difference
Bowling Green State University - Bowling Green, Ohio
2022 OnBrand Conference. Omaha, NE
Panelist Speaker
The Process of Finding your Niche
There is much to be said about why creatives create. Is it self-expression, is it servicing clients’ objectives, or is it to influence others? It’s all of it, but when we build campaigns, media plans, or convey brand messages, too much relies on the external audience, and we tend to forget why we’re in the room in the first place. Our unique stances, insights, and intuitions are what solve problems creatively—design your own possibilities by understanding your perspective and why it matters.
