untitled Apple Commercial Uses Poetry to Profile the iPad as a Creative Tool Running second only to the iPhone in terms of sales of Apple products, the iPad continues to dominate the tablet space, further fueled by the late 2013 release of the iPad Air and the iPad mini. Now, in what appears to be a follow-up to the artistic marketing approach given to the iPad back in October, Apple has released a new iPad commercial spot that relies heavily on poetry set to inspiring imagery. The video opens to a montage of moments showing people using the iPad to shoot video in remote locales, photograph live music events, analyze data in various business and strategic situations and even control robots. But the connective thread throughout the entire spot is the voiceover, an audio clip taken from the 1989 film Dead Poet’s Society. In one of the film’s pivotal moments, Robin Williams (as Professor Keating) attempts to inspire his students by delivering a speech about creativity. William’s voiceover states the following: We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute.

Saving Money And Still Being A Successful Creative – An Artist’s Perspective | Suncorp Bank Blog In popular psychology, art and money don’t mix. In addition to my work for Insight, I also have a not-unsuccessful career as an interdisciplinary artist. Most recently, I wrote and directed a one-woman play for Brisbane’s 2015 2High Festival. In my experience, it’s genuinely difficult for anyone to simultaneously discuss finance and arts without falling into unhelpful wallowing, clichéd empowerment or silly mythology. Depending on your participants, a conversation will inevitably shift to ‘our society doesn’t value creatives’, ‘if you try hard, you’ll be successful’ or ‘poverty/suffering makes you a better artist’ – all of which, while intermittently true, aren’t really productive attitudes. So, generally, I steer clear. We live in an era where there are more creatives and artists running around than ever before – and more audiences engaging with their work than any time in human history. Sounds utopian?

Les affaires peuvent bien sûr se faire depuis la France, mais cela n'épargne pas les déplacements nécessaires à l'étranger pour approcher les clients potentiels. Une filiale à l'étranger pour être « number one » D'autres PME ont choisi de s'implanter physiquement dans certains pays. « Nous avons décidé d'ouvrir une filiale au Brésil, explique son fondateur, Philippe Lourençon.
