Where do you find design/creative inspiration?

Our industry is in a constant state of change and it’s our responsibility to stay on top of all the things. Inspiration can come from anywhere though. A conversation, a mistake, travel… we never really stop thinking about the challenges we have for ourselves or our clients.

As world traveler, what destination stands out most to you and why?

I have been to 24 countries over the last 10 years and honestly every destination is stand out. That seems like a cop out, but it is true. It all depends on why you’re traveling, who you’re traveling with and when you’re traveling. The 2 destinations I am looking forward to next are Bilboa and Casablanca.

What advantages does a Media savvy agency provide to Creatives?

There are a lot of advantages. We are able to inform each other and make our media and message stronger for better results across the board. We don’t just fulfill on a spec document that was sent over the fence. At Empower we meet as a team and create the best plan and campaign that will reach a consumer.
