:: WHAT’S NEW & WEEKLY GRATITUDE ::

We’re taking some time away from our computers, but we didn’t want you to miss us too much! This is a blast from the past, featuring content from September of 2018. We are dedicating this edition of Strands to Rosie’s late grandmother ‘Big Moms’. This was one of her favorite editions.

GAME OF THRONES CHARACTERS IF DISNEY WAS IN CHARGE

#Art #Culture #GeniusSteals
Brazilian artist Combo Estuido has taken to drawing Game of Thrones characters in the Disney style and boy oh boy are they wonderful! ::G OOD::

REAL GENIUS — WITH US & GARETH KAY OF CHAPTER

#Planning #Industry #Fun
We were interviewed for a lovely podcast by superlative caster Paul from Plein Air alongside the inimitable, big hearted and brilliant Gareth Kay from Chapter SF, where we talk about learning your trade and then all the new places you can apply it. ::I TUNES::

100 CRAP FACES

#Creativity #Practice #Workout
Our new friend Steve is an artist, creativity coach and the all round excellent mind behind Can Scorpions Smoke. He very kindly gave us an advance copy of the 100 Crap Faces, and it's great. Being bad on purpose, quality through quantity, applying judgement with heart and inverted objectives all make for fun.

"100 CRAP FACES is a creative workout. An experiment in imperfection and paradox designed for people who tell themselves they cannot draw. Can you draw 100 CRAP FACES by the end of the book? Or will you discover you keep accidentally drawing good ones?" ::CAN SCORPIONS SMOKE:: [AMAZON]

ICYMI: THE REBIRTH OF COMMS: OUR WARC WEBINAR

#StealTheseSlides #WorldAdvertisingResearchCouncil #Comms
In the last decade, communications strategy has fallen by the wayside as a standalone discipline, re-absorbed into account and media planning. In light of increased concerns about programmatic fraud, non-viewable impressions, brand safety, and the efficacy of micro-targeting, communication strategy has once again been summoned to the table, to make sense of the mess we’ve made. So what does modern communication strategy look like? Who owns it? Who should? How is it done? What are the key considerations and tools? All this and more coming to your computer screen on September 18th. (PS: If you register for the webinar, they'll follow up with a video link even if you can't make it.) ::WARC::

It's called Genius Steals because we believe ideas are new combinations and that nothing can come from nothing. But copying is lazy. We believe the best way to innovate is to look at the best of that which came before and combine those elements into new solutions.

Co-Founders Faris & Rosie are award-winning strategists and creative directors, writers, consultants and public speakers who have been living on the road/runway since March 2013, working with companies all over the world. Our Director of Operations is nomadic like us, our accounting team is based out of Washington, our company is registered in Tennessee, and our collaborators are all over the world. Being nomadic allows us to go wherever clients need us to be, and to be inspired by the world in between.

Hit reply and let’s talk about how we might be able to work together :)
