Writing is the foundation of great creativity and effective marketing.
To do it well requires our hearts, minds, and a good pair of scissors.

This workshop gives your team the tools to sharpen their writing skills.
We take you through each major step of promo writing: from generating ideas and filling up the blank page to axing clichés and delivering killer copy. Each section is loaded with examples, activities, tips and exercises.

• STREAM YOUR IDEAS

• FRESH WRITING

• ACTIVATE

• REDUCE

Creativity may seem like an elusive beast.

But it can be captured, trained, and strengthened. This workshop gives your team the tools to release their own creativity on demand.

We start with a strong foundation: understanding the audience. Once you understand who you’re talking to the conversation gets so much better.

Then we tap the deep well of personal experience and emotional resonance in the room, and aim them squarely back at the assignment. We throw in a few twists.

The result—knock out creativity from your group and the resources to generate your own creativity at will.

In this workshop we cover:

• BE THE AUDIENCE

• PERSONALITY BRIEFS

• THE BIG IDEAS

.

That’s why we created Idea Sparks.

Brilliant ideas come from the most unlikely places. So, when money and creative mojo may be in short supply, Idea Sparks helps you cultivate your team’s inner brilliance.

Based on our popular workshop series and built on 20 + years of award-winning expertise, Idea Sparks is an easy, budget-friendly way to jump start your creative juices.

Fast Company featured Button’s brainstorming technique, Ideations.

From Manhattan to Malaysia we kick off our workshops by kicking off our shoes and donning a new pair of socks.

In school when they wanted you to be a good little soldier (the opposite of creative) you were ordered to “put on your thinking caps”.

With socks on, we want the antithesis of obedience. Socks signal the time to be rowdy, let your guard down and pick your pen up.

After decades of hunting down creativity, we have found it comes from the sole, of your feet.
