What can you say about Creativity living and working in a
country with an arch-traditional, nationalist and patriarchal cul-
ture? Where being in the border between the East and the West
has been a curse rather than a blessing? Where it is considered
“creative”, if you get purple from mixing red with blue ? Where
creative is something mystical, unexplainable and from the
other side?
Not so mystical, neither technical, creativity is everywhere – It’s
all around us. It is the ability to create a connection between the
irrational and rational, the ability to send the right message on
the right time, in the right place and the right way.
Creativity is the power to express original qualities, imagination
and innovation – our unique selling proposition, our problem
solving tool.
A popular misconception is that creativity happens in a flash of
inspiration, while just the opposite is true. It’s a way of thinking
and approaching a problem. True creativity and originality is
time-consuming and above all it is a process.
Creative work without strategic planning doesn’t make for a
good ad, no matter how fantastically creative it is. On the other
hand, a strategically immaculate ad without a creative idea or
execution runs the risk of not being noticed or remembered,
and just won’t do anything to build relationships between the
intended audience and the brand.
Being creative for the sake of being creative doesn’t serve clients’
needs. Creativity needs to be always understood within the
context of the brand and the intent.
