Creative

"Creative" is the term that the ad industry uses to cover the concept, art and the copywriting side of the business.

On the web we need creative marketing, creative visual themes that integrate your websites and/or creative solutions to site organization challenges.

Creative people are often considered messy and disorderly. They can be trouble, because they are always stepping outside of the box and breaking the rules. But the odd thing is that when they get outside of the box, they create new, bigger boxes, and a new sense of order.

So creativity is actually a form of problem-solving, or creating order out of apparent disorder. Creative people discover opportunities for a larger, more inclusive order, and when they step out of the box, they let in a lot of fresh air.

This is another service that we provide. It's hard to define as a billable service, because it may happen in the first 30 seconds after you tell us your business idea, or it may happen in the middle of the night when an idea sends us to a pad of paper.

We have a long history of creative concept and marketing behind us. We'd like to work with you to make the future of your company a fascinating, out of the box exploration of success of a higher order.

And of course we do classical creative direction on any marketing, advertising or web-based project on the planet (or off... see #2 and #6 below).

Creative Project #2

Cyberspacecafe, a website selling website design services as if websites were a kind of intellectual food, in a galaxy far, far away.

Creative Project #3

A proposed web access and web business services division for Telegroup, a telephony company. The program was cut as the company went under. Then Telegroup was bought out by another company that eventually restyled it as a web access and web business services company. Funny how that is.

If I tell you I have to beat you to market with my own idea. Let's just say that the teams are named after snacks: the Hohos, The Cheetos, The Fritos, The Twinkies, The Nachos, etc.
