AMA Boston

Join us for Think Inside the Box - a panel about the power of creative constraints and how boundaries fuel innovation!

Digitas

“Think Outside the Box” has forever been a mantra in the creative world, extolling the virtues of “blue sky brainstorming” and a limitless creative process.But there are always limits. And from our point of view, working without boundaries is...boring. A true test of creativity comes from constraints, and how you “Houdini” your way out of the box. “Think Inside the Box” can be a fun and far-reaching jumping off point for panel conversation on the entire hands-on creative process.What are your constraints? How do you handle them or learn to love them? What’s your process?And if you’re one of those “outside the box” people, you’re welcome too!Join us on Thursday, May 9th, from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Digitas (40 Water St, Boston, MA 02109) for a thought-provoking conversation as we turn the creative process inside out.-----About MK3 CreativeMK3 Creative is a Boston-based creative agency specializing in video and event production.
