Calling all Creatives

Hey you, yeah you. The reclusive writer cranking out your manuscript in the corner of Starbucks. And you, yeah the artsy kid who wants to push your design skills to the next level. Oh yeah, and you, the guy / gal who creates incredible things I don't even know about but will revolutionize advertising. I'm talking to all of you.

It's time to get to work.

Here's the plan: Creatives Unite! on Thursday, Jan 22nd @ 6pm at Karsh \ Hagan. If you're planning to attend then leave a comment on this post so I know how many people to expect. They'll be pizza and beer, because I think we all know that's where creativity comes from.

UPDATE: Location: Jan 22nd, 6pm at Karsh \ Hagan (2399 Blake St, take 24th st west across Blake into the alley beside the Blake st. tavern. There's a few visitor parking spaces there in front of the 2399 blake sign, the K\H doors are just north of that under a red sign. Call me @ 970-371-8818 if the door is locked)

Here's the agenda:
  • Brainstorm WfW Donor Email
  • Brainstorm WfW Donor Letter / Postcard / Etc
  • Assign creatives to complete the above two items, deliverable to the client in the first week of February
  • Brainstorm other WfW's creative items (i.e. blue sky some ideas since strategy isn't locked down yet)
Come prepared with concepts, ideas, beer, pizza, whatever you need to get some thinking done. If you're still new to the project and need to catch up (or had a brain purge over the holidays) see below.

To see what WfW's has done in the past visit the Ad2 PS dropbox at: drop.io/ad2denvercreative (pass: ad2denver) and look at the WfW letter pdf (sorry for the funky characters, the scanner tried to interpret their watermark as text or something, but you get the main idea). To get even more backstory check out the "WfW Preplaning meeting - Justin's Notes" to see their answers and my thoughts on our early interviews with them.
If you have questions, contact Justin at justinmccammon [at] gmail.com or 970-371-8818.

Thanks for getting involved, the fun's just getting started...
