#5 The Four Most Powerful Types of Creative Thinking Considering I’m a creative coach, some people are surprised to learn I’m a little sceptical about creative thinking techniques. For one thing, there’s a lot more to creativity than thinking. It’s possible to sit around having lots of creative thoughts, but without actually making anything of them. But if you start making something, creative ideas seem to emerge naturally out of the process. And for another thing, a lot of ‘creative thinking techniques’ leave me cold. Having said that, here are four types of creative thinking that I use myself and which I know for a fact are used extensively by high-level creators. The text below introduces the four types of creative thinking, and the worksheet will show you how to apply the techniques to your own work. 1.

MFBM University - Stratégies Marketing Université assurée par Franck Rocca Stratégiste Facebook Marketing depuis 2009 J'ai décidé de créer l'université pour vous permettre d'avoir un retour sur investissement rapide. Je suis parti d'un simple constat, aujourd’hui, il faut toujours tester pour arriver à optimiser. Quand vous avez déjà fait plein de tests comme nous, vous avez déjà une première notion de ce qui va mieux fonctionner. Et donc ce que je cherche à faire, c'est créer une université dans laquelle on s'échange les best practices sur le Facebook Marketing. Mais je pense que ce qui est fondamental, c'est de s'entourer de praticiens réguliers pour être capable de savoir ce qui fonctionne le mieux. L'un des buts de l'université est de rassembler des praticiens Facebook et de les transformer en experts, pour avoir tous ensemble des tas de cas pratiques desquels nous pouvons, les uns les autres s'inspirer. Des tests comme ça il faut en faire tout le temps, il faut tester les dernières fonctionnalités.
Digital Publishing Platform for Magazines, Catalogs, and more Chirpify buys Measureful, expands its social marketing software Digital marketing startup Chirpify is consuming the Portland startup incubator that helped spawn it. Chirpify announced Wednesday that it's acquiring another Portland startup, Measureful. Both companies emerged from Upstart Labs, an incubator that disbanded last fall as two of Upstart's partners took executive positions at Chirpify. Chirpify's deal for Measureful reunites many of the players. But Kevin Tate, one of those former Upstart partners now working as Chirpify's chief revenue officer, said the industry has changed enormously since they all worked in the same space just a couple years ago. "It is a bit of a different world," Tate said. Founded in 2010, Chirpify rose to prominence by enabling instant purchases via Twitter, Facebook and other social media services. Last year Chirpify moved to broaden its market, using the Twitter convention of hashtags to link to broader marketing campaigns through a service Chirpify calls "#actiontags."
