Great start to cre8con with On Your Feet!
Improvised creativity activities.
Damali Ayo – Crow Clothing – great speaker. Felt like I was watching our Sameunderneath presentation, but either way, she was a fabulous speaker, extremely captivating (hmm, Ryan anyone?!)
And then there was Jelly Helm. I’m pretty sure within 30 seconds, the entire audience fell in love with him. He was such a great speaker, down to earth and had extremely relevant points.
- How to give a speech: say what you know to be true
- Advice: Don’t read Chomsky.
- Successful brands in the 21st century: aren’t created by agencies! Created by direct experience because experience doesn’t lie.
Megan and I agreed that that basically everything Jelly said in his presentation was everything we have been wanting to say about branding/advertising but haven’t been able to put it into words. And now Jelly is leaving Wieden. And now I’m reevaluating my entire life plan.
All in all, great conference – major kudos to Steve Gehlen for making this happen!
Sidenote:
During lunch, Megan and I found the largest sasquatch behemoth dog I’ve seen:



Let’s find some giant dogs for us to ride to school?
Love your videos, but I’ve been eagerly trying to find the closing act “cre8con in 5 minutes”. Know of anyone with it out there?
Hey Garrett! I know that someone out there has it because cre8con was recorded, but as to whom that person might be…
If there’s anyone who has the “Cre8Con in 5 minutes” video by On Your Feet, it’s going to be John Anthony Hartman (@feedia on Twitter.)
Yay for re-evaluation! We’ll make it a party…
