\u201cCreatives need to learn to speak the language of business and design. They need to be bilingual in order to have meaningful conversations and create a quantifiable impact on a business.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last month\u2019s Creative Pulse<\/a> guest speaker, the inspirational (and Emmy-winning) Chris Do<\/a>, landed at YVR Airport and was immediately shuttled across the city and into a building full of fans, anxiously waiting to ask and listen. The AMA (Ask Me Anything) format made for a very casual, social experience. From my perspective as an audience member, it felt like we were a bunch of junior siblings getting a warmly personalized coaching session from our most accomplished big brother. Or rather big brothers<\/em>, I should say,\u00a0as he was accompanied by a few heavy-hitting members of his senior creative team, all of whom provided additional insights and fun anecdotes to the collective conversation.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cClients pay for the strategic thinking and clarity. The design is the souvenir.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With the AMA format, conversation topics flittered about, touching upon various talking points such as raising one\u2019s international profile to creative\/business theory book recommendations. I\u2019ll post his book recommendations at the end. On your way down to see that list, please enjoy a series of Chris Do quotables from the event, curated by yours truly.<\/p>\n

So what if it’s not the exact quote. It’s all about your generosity.<\/p>\n

You made it all the way down. Congrats!
