What is a creative technologist?

Posted: December 8th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Advertising, Code, Random Musings | 15 Comments »

I gave this talk to the agency I work at, as i’m the first ‘creative technologist’ there.

My thoughts on what my job means, where I think the advertising industry is going and some inspirational stuff in the back end.

In a nutshell.

I come up with ‘ideas’ and I make things to demonstrate them.

Comments would be greatly appreciated – This is my point of view – Would love to work with others to understand how they interpret the role (especially across other industries). You can download the keynote from slideshare and see my speaker notes – Some of the slides need this.
