Topic: Off-Site Creative Experience
Today’s creatives have grown up inside the box of technology; on computers, on-line, on mobile, on games and on social. This year, I’ll be taking the LIA Creative LIAisons participants off-site and outside, to experience creativity and inspiration beyond the screen; revealing how brands are not what people think.

"If the Creative LIAisons field trip contributes to just one Creative LIAisons participant coming up with the next Campaign For Real Beauty, Just Do It or Liquid Death, it will not only help build the next billion dollar business, it will have changed the way we unlock the minds of the next generation of creative leaders."
