Tim Hawkey shared thisSign me up Patricia Corsi 🇧🇷 🇮🇹🇨🇭!Tim Hawkey shared thisThe advertising and creativity industry and how it works with brands and company are facing multiple challenges - from the implementation of AI and new technologies to the agencies review on ways of working, business models and how success can be achieved. This is a mission to be taken together by both BRANDS and AGENCIES. AI is making marketing faster. But it may also make brands more similar. Creativity becomes the last true differentiator. Using data to inform views and perspectives I remain confident that CREATIVITY is within one of the most powerful forces for brands to connect and build long standing relationships with consumers. I am still to be proven that the CRAFT of creativity can be delivered by AI with the same level of competence. That is why even though i have developed the Creative Unleashed TM (the Method) over 10 years ago, it remains CURRENT and continuing to add VALUE and bring impact to brands. The creative team needs the space to develop ideas that stop people on their tracks, solve real consumer problems and continue to build long standing BRAND LOVE. Our craft needs more ambassadors on the role and CRITICALLY of creativity, and I am signing up as one of them. At times this is an industry that is very cruel to itself and great work needs to be celebrated. Let’s waste no time complaining, BUT building the future of creativity for BRANDS. Companies must rethink how they protect and cultivate creativity. Join me on sharing better outcomes and impacts, while also inspiring the next generations to join an industry and craft that is nothing short of INCREDIBLE.

Tim Hawkey shared thisI'll repost anything about Alysa Liu ⛸️🥇Tim Hawkey shared thisAlysa Liu didn’t just win Olympic gold. She basically installed an undefeatable operating system in her brain. And creative directors should shamelessly steal it immediately. Here are the three principles worth stealing: 1. Make the process the reward. She made skating itself joyful, She made training itself fulfilling, She sees competing itself as the prize… With that mindset, she literally cannot lose. No judge can disqualify you from enjoying your own legs. Creative directors screw this up constantly. If the only reward is: “Did the client buy it?” “Did it get produced?” “Did we win a trophy made of melted car parts in Cannes?” …then you’ve handed over control of your happiness to strangers. But if the making, the thinking, the laughing, the weird, late‑night building is the reward… then every brief is a guaranteed win. Even the seemingly soul‑destroying ones. 2. Fall in love with the pursuit, not the medal. Alysa has said she finds fulfillment in chasing high performance. The practice. The discipline. The struggle. The tiny refinements no one else notices. The medal is not the end goal. The pursuit of excellence is. Advertising creatives need this like a half‑starved raccoon needs an unlocked dumpster. If you only feel fulfilled when the idea sells, and gets produced, you will be clinically miserable for 86.7% of your career. But if your fulfillment comes from: pushing your craft, deepening your skills, getting slightly better on every project… you can actually love this job for decades, instead of just scrolling LinkedIn rage‑posts between rounds of revisions. 3. She skates to give joy to other people. She’s not just skating for herself. She has a bigger “why”: Bringing joy to the crowd gives her a higher purpose that gets her outside of her own head. We all need a higher purpose, and it doesn't have to be the pro-bono brief to save extinct whales that comes around once every 3 years. It can be as simple as striving to make your creative teams better than they ever thought they could be. And Here’s the powerful part of these 3 principles: all three of these are 100% in her control. No one can stop her from loving the process. No one can stop her from pursuing excellence. No one can stop her from showing up to give joy. As creative leaders, if we build teams around those three things: Process as the reward Pursuit as fulfillment Purpose beyond “please validate my ego” …our creatives will have more meaning, more joy, more resilience. And, ironically, they’ll produce way better work. You can’t control the client. You can’t control the award juries. You can’t control what actually gets made. But you can control the culture. And culture is what wins the long game. If you’re a creative director and you want teams that love the game not just the stupid shiny trophy at the end, Follow me or something.

Tim Hawkey reposted thisTim Hawkey reposted thisHEY, ALLIES, STOP SHARING THAT PHOTO. Donald Trump posted a r*cist video to Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. A lot of white creators are sharing the screenshot "in condemnation," but really to go viral. Stop it. Trump is still obsessed with them because Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and he is aware that he can't lick the boots of Obama's popularity or successes as President. He also hates that Obama has true love and Trump doesn't even understand those words. Might I suggest that we all get these photos to go viral again instead? They already have way more views than Trump's video ever will. Look, we already know Trump is r*cist, so it isn't news when you share the photo. It is just triggering. 🌎💕 Shout out to my awesome Black friend for asking me to post this! Relatedly, allies, when Black people ask us to post things for awareness, we really should.

Tim Hawkey liked thisTim Hawkey liked thisWe’ve officially entered the era where execution is easier, which means originality just got harder. I’m excited to judge this year’s W3 Awards, celebrating digital work that pushes the craft forward across web, content, and experience. This year’s “Built to” theme fits because the strongest experiences are no longer just built to function. They’re built to connect, built to adapt, and built to stay with people. That takes more than utility. It takes story, emotion, taste, and the judgment to know when the work is actually saying what matters. If you’ve built something that redefines the category, make sure you submit. W3 early deadline: April 24, 2026 Final deadline: June 12, 2026 w3award.com #AIVA #W3 Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts

Calling all designers. As an American and a creative, I am pretty stoked to see great design coming from our government. https://ndstudio.gov/ https://realfood.gov/ https://trumprx.gov/ But Politics aside, let's look at the historical context of great design. Nazi Germany Arguably the most comprehensive and chilling example of design as state power. The Nazis understood branding at a level that wouldn't be matched in corporate America for decades: • Visual totality: Unified design language across everything—uniforms, architecture, rallies, propaganda posters, even typefaces. They banned certain fonts and promoted Fraktur (ironically later abandoning it). Every visual element reinforced the brand. • Albert Speer's architecture: Monumental neoclassical designs meant to communicate permanence and power for a "thousand-year Reich." The Nuremberg rally grounds were essentially branded experiences at massive scale. • Leni Riefenstahl's films: Triumph of the Will wasn't just propaganda—it was cinematically innovative branded content that influenced filmmaking for generations. • Symbolism: The swastika became one of history's most recognizable symbols through relentless, coordinated deployment. The system worked because every touchpoint—from Hitler Youth uniforms to postage stamps—told the same story. It's a horrifying case study in how design creates emotional belonging and normalizes ideology. Soviet Union Constructivism and Socialist Realism created one of the most distinctive government design languages: • Early Soviet constructivism: Revolutionary graphic design (El Lissitzky, Rodchenko) that was genuinely innovative—bold typography, photomontage, diagonal compositions suggesting dynamism and progress. • Socialist Realism: Later shift to heroic, idealized imagery of workers, soldiers, and leaders. Consistent across posters, murals, sculpture, and architecture. • Monumental architecture: Stalin's "Seven Sisters" skyscrapers in Moscow, metro stations as "palaces for the people" with chandeliers and mosaics. • Consistent iconography: Hammer and sickle, red star, wheat sheaves—symbols deployed with absolute consistency. Maoist China China under Mao created perhaps the most saturated propaganda environment in history: • Little Red Book: Product design meets ideology—portable, ubiquitous, visually distinctive. • Propaganda posters: Heroic workers and peasants in bold colors, consistent style that created a visual monoculture. • Cultural Revolution aesthetics: Red Guards, revolutionary opera, model communes—every aspect of culture became branded content. • Personality cult: Mao's image reproduced billions of times, creating omnipresent "brand ambassador." It's probably just a coincidence, right?

Why do we give Creative Directors classifications of Art or Copy? Do Art CDs just ignore all headlines? Do Copy CDs not care about typography? CDs oversee both. They should master both the power of a period and clever use of white space. In fact, I think CDs should be more than that. Great CDs need to be salesmen, strategists, behavioral scientists, mentors, and more. What do you think when you see Art/Copy CD titles and roles? #advertising #creative #creativedirection
