The Mind of a Strategist event hosted not only creatives, but expert strategists with each of them sharing a different perspective on the industry. From what they love about one another, to what they hate – we learned exactly what it takes to become a leading strategist creatives love to work with. With the ever-changing agency landscape, it is more and more important for strategists and creatives to not only work together, but to understand and feed off of each others strengths. That’s why we chose 2 top-notch strategists and 2 high level creatives to show us how collaboration can foster highly successful results!

Sharing their experiences, words of wisdom and advice to both creatives and strategists alike, the panelists described the importance of collaboration and the immense success that can result from a strategist and a creative working together in unison. These suggestions were helpful not only for our attendees, but for Miami Ad School as well – that’s why we’ve taken their guidance and advice into consideration for our next two bootcamps in September! We plan on running both the Strategy & Planning and Social Media Bootcamps simultaneously in order to simulate a real agency with strategists and creatives working together.

Miami Ad School Toronto would like to thank our panelists for an impressive and influential event! We look forward to hosting many more and becoming a home for innovative, provocative and creative thinking! See more of the panelist’s advice below!
