Tips and Techniques for Finding the Right Ad Agency
Creative agencies, whether they specialize in graphic design, advertising or web, are just what you would want them to be – creative. And that includes snappy presentations that can wow you with lots of bells and whistles. But a creative presentation won’t necessarily get you the partner who is best for your project. Selecting the wrong creative partner is a waste of money and time that can turn an exciting project into an exercise in frustration. Sure, you want a firm with outstanding creative skills. But you need an agency that bases their top-notch creative work on a solid foundation of strategy, knowledge and understanding of where your organization is trying to go.

Dumb is Smart and Smart is Dumb
Leaders have a propensity to share their thoughts too early in conversations, especially when there is a decision to be made. Being forthright and decisive are qualities that are generally thought to be advantageous. I think speaking too soon is often a mistake.

We are in the era of "creative thinkers" versus "reactive thinkers".

Reactive thinkers live in reaction and response to circumstances. Creative thinkers go beyond circumstances and situations. Leaders never play blame game. Leadership of new era is not to react but to act. Leaders never play blame game.
Leadership with a Small "L"
There have been only a few great leaders in our lifetime. Leaders like Reagan, Churchill, Disney, and Welch to mention a few.

Thinking In and Out of the Box
The current buzz phrase among business and creative types is, "Thinking out of the box." This means that you think in non-orthodox, non-traditional ways that lead you to new and creative conclusions. This is a powerful tool, as far as it goes, because it allows you to use your entire creative mind without limiting yourself to the way things have always been done. However, while you're thinking in the new "out of the box" way, don't forget that there are some pretty great concepts in that old box. Traditional thinking at one time was someone's creative "out of the box" thinking. Because it was successful, that thought became traditional or "in the box."
