Spot the Stripes

We live in a world divided into two groups; ā€œcreative peopleā€ and ā€œnon creative peopleā€. We do it with businesses too ā€“ even entire sectors ā€“ ā€œthe creative industriesā€ implies that other industries are not creative, which is of course, nonsense. Creative isnā€™t a department at Brands at Work. Itā€™s everyoneā€™s job, regardless of ā€˜creativeā€™ featuring anywhere in someoneā€™s job title. If you currently doubt your own creative abilities, have a quick read of our tips on how to train your creative brain to find inspiration in anything, anywhere.

Weā€™re pressing pause this week to reflect on how we can be kinder to ourselves and to others. Itā€™s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek – hereā€™s a little summary of our reflectionsā€¦
