Creativity can solve almost any problem - the creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.

ALWAYS GO FOR THE
BIG IDEA!

Getting a Big Idea is not an act of inspiration, but rather one of discovery.

Any great creative idea should stun momentarily - it should seem to be outrageous.

Teamwork might work in creating an Amish barn, but it can’t create a Big Idea.

A truly great ad campaign is driven by a Big Idea that contains:1. A memorable slogan!2. A memorable visual!

If it takes more than three sentences to explain your entrepreneurial idea to the money guys, it’s not a Big Idea!

Always do three things when you present a Big Idea:1. Tell what they are going to see.2. Show it to them.3. Tell them, dramatically, what they just saw.

Advertising is like poison gas. It should bring tears to your eyes, unhinge your
nervous system, and knock you out.

Your portfolio should
IGNITE, PROVOKE, SHOCK, KICK ASS.
