INFLUENCERS (FULL VERSION)

via vimeo.com

When I saw the trailer for this last month, I thought I would have to wait and
catch it at a film festival, or buy it on DVD. Nice to now see it so quickly ;-)

Looking forward to seeing more clips, seems this could be much longer...
A full documentary would be nice :-)

Influencers - Documentary Trailer

Stefan Sagmeister - 7 year itch

I was lucky enough to hear Sagmeister talk at Offf 09, last May in Portugal. Although he is one of those speakers

who seems to be at all the conferences, the way he articulates his presentations and the simplicity of the themes

are always really impactful and memorable. A must see speaker!

In this new Ted talk above, he talks about the break he takes every 7 years from commercial work and puts a lot of

great rational behind it. I had a similar break for 6 months in 2003, really beneficial... hhhmmm roughly 7 years ago ;-)

iFOUND - New ffffound.com app

If you are a fan of the ffffound.com site (as many creatives are) now you can get your inspiration on the go ;-)

ART & COPY - Advertising & Inspiration

Art & Copy is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. It reveals the work and wisdom of some of the

most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually

unknown outside their industry. Really wanna see this!

KEVIN ROBERTS - Ideas As The Currency Of The Future

Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi (also founder of Lovemarks) has plenty of wise words! Many of these things 

you may have read or heard in books, blogs, presentations etc. What's interesting is we keep hearing them again and again! 

Really like his comment about consumer research and analysis - If you wanna know about lions go to the jungle, not the zoo!

THE DESK - Lexus Leading In Content

This video (The Desk) is from the Lexus Lstudio site, which is packed full of interesting ideas, content & entertainment.

More brands need to adopt this marketing model, the brands that are thinking this way are the ones striving in these odd, different 

but exciting times! Apple, Google, Nike, Skype and so on! Giving things for free that is :-)

Then: (Old model) Ideas about brands: Faster, safer, cheaper... etc
Now: (New model) Brands about ideas: Live well, have fun, real beauty... etc

Lexus have now adopted this ethos - BRANDS ABOUT IDEAS... 

Giving the customer/user more than just a car, giving experiences and ideas/entertainment, 

which then feed back into the brand vision and consumer perceptions, proper branding!

TED - Inspiration / Innovation Video Sphere

Ted has been a constant inspiration to me over the last couple of years. Full of movie clips of great thinkers and

creative minds, who are helping to push the development of mankind within art, science, technology and society. 

This videosphere (knowledge network) has been created independently by Bestiario. The clips are linked tags.

Check out the other experiments by Bestiario, there's plenty of cool interaction play things ;-) Explore!

TINKER HATFIELD - Inspiration Interview

As we all know inspiration is everywhere, and in this clip above Nike designer

Tinker Hatfield talks us through one of his major creations. Fantastic how he

jumped from one creative industry into another. Would be great if companies 

or big brands would set up exchange programs for creatives, imagine the influx

of fresh ideas and new approaches formed?
