Creativity Through Adversity

Posted: May 15, 2018 | Author: | Filed under: events | Comments Off on Creativity Through Adversity

Jerry Hoak of The Martin Agency – “Creativity Through Adversity”

DESCRIPTION

Jerry Hoak, Executive Creative Director, Managing Director at The Martin Agency

Adversity is a given for us all. At some point in our lives, we all will encounter a period of pain that tests our resolve and endurance. Those of us who thrive as creative thinkers are often able to create meaning from these challenging times and find inspiration in the struggle. Come hear how Jerry Hoak has used his abilities as a creative thinker to find strength and growth in the most trying of times.

Jerry Hoak joined The Martin Agency in 2017 after spending more than a decade in New York working at Droga5, Taxi and Ogilvy. Recently named EDC, Managing Director at Martin, he has been helping lead the agency to become even faster, more collaborative and diverse. He believes the best advertising respects an audience’s time by delivering entertainment, utility and purpose. His proudest advertising moment came in 2015 when the podcast Freakonomics featured his Prudential campaign in an episode titled “How to Make a Smart Ad.” It was not a paid endorsement. Despite winning the Mega Millions Jackpot in 2017, he continues to work in advertising. That’s not true. He is married with two cats and a dog named Glitter, and he is a board member of the Make-A-Wish foundation of Greater Virginia. That is true.

Call for Lightning Talk Submissions!

Posted: April 9, 2018 | Author: | Filed under: events | Comments Off on Call for Lightning Talk Submissions!

Do you have a tactical tool or technique you use and can’t live without on a daily basis? Do you think it’s something every designer should know about, embrace, and use every day?

If so we’d love to hear from you for our ongoing series of Lightning Talks . For these events, we are looking for 4 designers to come in and each give a short 12-15 minute talk about something they’re passionate about.

The next Lightning Talk is August 1st in Richmond VA. We still have spots available!

For your submission, we’ll need the following info…
– A working title (doesn’t have to be final) for your talk.
– A brief overview (let’s say a paragraph) laying out what you would cover and why you think it matters.
– An example of how the audience could immediately apply what they’ve learned in their day-to-day job/life or immediately into their craft/practice.

If you’re interested email your submission to info@richmondux.com
