HOW TO BOOSTCREATIVITYAT WORK

Looking for ways to boost creativity at work? We asked our team of creatives to put together a list

of effective techniques that get the creativity flowing.

Creativity is a GOVERNING FORCE in our firm.

We pride ourselves on building relationships with our clients to

showcase their brand’s passion through innovation and creative

strategy. Every once in a while, mental walls are hit, and creative

clashes occur (we’re looking at you, Friday afternoons).

Running low on creative juices is inevitable,

so how dowe fight back?

#1

DirectedDaydreaming.

When you let your mind wander, you open

yourself up to new opportunities to think

up something amazing.

Don’t use it as an excuse to slack off, but

rather an effort to remove yourself from the

project and gain additional clarity, or

experience an “Aha!” moment.

Talk it out.

#2

It never hurts to pull inspiration from your

colleagues. Some of the best ideas come

out of conversations and collaboration.

Bounce ideas off one another, and see

where your conversation takes you. A lot of

times, you’ll even see the way out yourself

just by talking about it with someone else!

Listen to music.

#3

Anytime you step into eMedia Design,

music is playing throughout the office.

Listening to music can help you feel

relaxed and inspired, which encourages

your brain to think more freely.

Different types of music also help evoke

different emotions that can even boost

efficiency and get into a groove – see what we did there?

Take a hike.

#4

Studies show that time outdoors, away

from technology, can stimulate creativity.

Whether you head out for a walk around the

block, or just step outside for some fresh air,

disconnecting from your devices and

interacting with nature or just taking short a

bike-ride can help improve creative thinking.

Do some research

#5

Create a soundboard of resources you can

turn to for a boost of inspiration. Spending

some time looking at other work can help

get your creative juices flowing.

Sometimes the best way to get inspiration

is to see how other industry experts have

approached similar projects.

Running into CREATIVE ROADBLOCKS can be frustrating.

No matter what, it’s important to remember that while it may

seem impossible to break through it, inspiration is usually

right around the corner/lunch break/music session/nap.
