Nicolas Roope
Founder, GGGGGGGGG
Why is creativity so critical today?
How can creative enterprises help solve the big, hairy problems while also building our businesses?
Let’s explore the big challenges for businesses today and what agencies can do to help. What role do creative agencies play in turbulent times as we focus on big issues like climate, Ai and societal polarisation and how creativity is as important as technology in tackling them.
About Nicolas
I have gathered deep experience practicing across physical / digital product and service design and brand communications as a co-founder, pioneer, inventor, creative director and strategist. My work across all disciplines has been recognised by the world’s most respected awards and institutions. I work with founders and business leaders as an advisor, innovator and collaborator, using my experience and creativity to inspire sustainable growth in their projects and businesses.
GGGGGGGGG is an imagination studio focusing on where the blue sky meets the ground. Y’know, big, creative thinking with an eye on practicalities. We offer a special blend of conceptual creativity, lateral strategic thinking and program shaping / planning for service and product innovation / development and their subsequent promotional and brand building activities.
