Art can meet personal objectives. Advertising has to meet business objectives. Can't we all just get along?
This months issue of Creativity recognizes and celebrates the artistic side of the industry. I posted this to remind myself that "art and commerce need each other" for a healthy future and one can inspire the other.

exactly! Even DaVinci had to get paid somehow.
But does anyone ever ask how many hours it took to paint the Mona Lisa? Or refer to the brief on the selection of the frame? Did it come in on time? Where is the copy of his timesheet (and is it hanging on the wall at the Louvre, too)?
All these things that seem so important now will surely be forgotten when the work is ultimately judged...on either its artistic merits or on its business value.
My background is diverse. I have deep experience in digital, brand campaigns and identity development. At heart I'm a designer, but few things get me more excited than generating big ideas. I know what it takes to motivate and direct people to shape an idea into something that has meaning for our team, our audience and ultimately our client’s business.
For the last 15+ years I've worked at a variety of agencies honing my digital, branding, B2B, direct and design skills. Each of these disciplines has given me a unique perspective on communication and refined my insight into how they work together to move a brand forward.
I've had the pleasure to work with many incredibly talented people and numerous smart, successful organizations and I'm hoping some of if it rubbed off on me. I love talking strategy, developing ideas and growing as a creative.
Inspired to take a chance, I formed C2 Creative Consulting, Ltd. in 2009 with my long-time creative partner. We are a specialized creative team that partners with C level executives, agency teams and marketing leadership to bring an outside perspective on a strategic or creative challenge. I am also a part of the kohactive team.
