Using creativity to bring humans back to the centre of everything
Our aspiration is for a world where all forms of connecting, conversing, creation starts and end, with the human in mind. A world where we demote our consumptive selves and elevate the being-selves. We believe that we are customers some of the time and are human all the time. Therefore, brand builders and custodians have a responsibility to engage beyond the transactional by placing humans at the centre of the complete value chain.
Working at the intersection of commerce and culture and applying a unique brand of creativity (humancentric creativism), we help brand builders and custodians build inclusive and sustainable futures.
What do you learn:
The ultimate outcome is a business/brand that is not only future conscious but is also robust, meaningful, different and salient.
What Does Liberation, Embracing Authenticity & Curiosity Amid Chaos Mean?
Creativity is the ability to solve problems uniquely. I’ve been asked this before because often, we think of creativity as artistic talent, and I can’t draw a cat even when it’s walking away from me, I can’t. So, if that was the measure, I wouldn’t have been able to sustain myself for the last 20 years in the brand brand-building and advertising field.
So, what then, do we talk about when we talk about unleashing creativity?
We’re talking about admiring the many ways in which we can challenge ourselves, explode our imagination, and explore a third and fourth dimension in problem-solving.
Who Should Attend
Everybody.
If you’re in business, whether for yourself or others or even in your personal life, and you’re just trying to evolve and understand how you might overcome one problem before your next birthday, this talk is for you. There’s chaos, there’s madness, there’s imagination, there’s freedom, there’s creation, there’s collaboration, but, more importantly, there are outcomes that truly deliver new and unique solutions for the world in which we live.
So, join us. Trust me, there’s a method to the madness and you will be mad in the right way.
This talk is about introducing Africa’s newest F-word.
I know what you’re thinking. F-word, why would she be doing F-word on a business platform? It’s not about famine. It’s not about the future being female, because you’ve seen that movie and we’ve moved on from it.
What Is The F-Word – Fentrepreneur™?
Fentrepreneur™ is a phrase we have given to a woman who’s fierce, who’s a self-starter, who’s incredibly mindful about the need for business to generate more than just profit, but also, she’s part of a community that we’ve now called the Five G community.
These are women who have:
Who Should Attend?
Whether you’re a start-up or you’re a midway or you’re ready to supersize, or even you, who’s sitting in corporate thinking, “when I get my next bonus, I want to finally turn my passion into a business.”
What Does It Mean To Have A Silenced Voice And Resilient Soul?
In this talk, it’s a celebration of everything that makes you who you are. So, what are the things that make you unique? What are your values and what is the personality you project, but also how do you extract meaning from your own lived experience?
You may have heard already increasing noises around diversity, inclusivity, equity and belonging, all of those things are aspects of identity and when you know who you are, whatever space you then enter is a space that you will enter with a full understanding of what you are able to contribute, but more importantly, what you’re also able to extract so that you can continue to evolve.
Who Should Attend?
We address people from all walks of life.
We have a conversation that may be relevant in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, profession choice, reproductive choice.
So, if you look at me, I’m black, I’m female, I’m childfree, I’m a creative strategist, I’m a social scientist, and I’m my mother’s daughter. The thing that really, really marks my primary identity marker is being my mother’s daughter.
In the end, however, we choose to integrate who we are starts to pull together the magic that makes us who we truly are unique and special.
