15. Our books

16. What some lovely people have
said about our latest book

17. “Forget the past, the future is where
it’s at – and this is your guide book.”
Rosie Arnold, Deputy ECD, BBH London
“Buy it. It'll do exactly what Mr. Fink says
on the cover.
purpleisme (Amazon review)
“A punchy, provocative and perceptive
trip through some of the bigger
debates of the moment, from a gang
of the most pioneering creative minds
in and around the industry. As a
collection, it’s like an idea grenade. It
should be required reading for agency
CEOs and leadership teams.”
Ben Malbon, Marketing Director, Google
“Less of a book and more of a lively
debate. So rather than read it, ‘listen to
it’ and get stuck in. It’ll make you want
to ask questions, nod vigorously and
heckle from the back.”
Graham Fink, CCO, Ogilvy China
“Insightful, funny and brilliant.”

20. Our Super Brand Partners

21. Examples of previous projects

22. Converse - Hack-a-Chuck
Converse teamed up with Google to launch their new G+ page.
Creative Social worked with them to create an online and offline
buzz around it.
We created a brief - hack a pair of the legendary Chuck Taylor All
Star hi-tops. 21 agencies within our global network answered,
hacking together some of the most resourceful,innovative and
imaginative Chucks ever made.
We displayed the completed Hack-a-chuck’s at the Cannes Lions
international festival and we helped curate and programme a
launch event in London.
The project grew the Converse G+ page to over 1m fans while
the content generated from the hacks gained over 500,000 social
actions for the brand. Google view this as the most successful G+
brand launch of all time and continue to use it as a best practice
case study.

23. Sonos - The Listen Make Play Project
Sonos brought its Studio to New York City for a week-long
residency at Neuehouse to explore the intersection of music,
art and technology.
As part of this residency Creative Social brought together five
of the most talented creative agencies in NYC to collaborate
with Sonos engineers and interpret the music of Brooklyn
based band The Skins by hacking Sonos hardware and
software.
The project culminated in the teams presenting their
prototype projects during a live showcase event to an
audience including The Skins, the Sonos global team,
influential press and bloggers. Each of the agency’s creative
journeys were documented and shared through the Sonos
Studio hub, social and selected press.

24. Converse - Culture Safari
In September 2015 we organised a day and a half of
workshops, activities and business visits in Stockholm for 40
of the Converse European marketing team.
Activities including a Converse Hack a Chuck workshop, a
ride down the Norrstrom and visits to Teenage Engineering,
Dice Games and Absolut’s Creative Space as well as their
brand house (our first collaboration between super members)
Totally curated, implemented and facilitated by Creative
Social in just over a month.

26. Getty Images - Rise
Cultural trends never stop evolving, and a brand like Getty
Images needs to stay on top of them.
They challenged us to create a way to own the global visual
conversation of trends, generate engaging, sharable content
around the project, and build awareness of their stock video
offering
We worked with them to create RISE, an online snapshot of
cultural trends, a relevant tool for their creative audience, and a
resource powered by individuals on the cutting edge of the
marketing and communications industry.
We curated monthly updates, written by socials from around the
world and contributing their thoughts on current trends. This
provided RISE with a fresh, relevant content series from
respected thought leaders. Sharing these valuable perspectives
spoke directly to target audience, driving them to RISE and
ultimately registering with Getty Images.

28. CS Training
For 10 years Creative Social has been inspiring the creative industries
through events around the globe. We’re incredibly proud to have given
such a diverse range of individuals a platform to share their insights with
our audience.
We are now taking that platform forward with a series of training modules,
which can inspire talent at agencies and brands alike. Our modules are
split between creativity training for businesses and specific training for
Senior Creatives.
All our training is based on the theory of learning by doing and delivered by
one of our Socials.

29. A collaborative model
Creative Social is built on a platform of collaboration and all our trainers
are sourced from our members - a collection of Creative Directors,
