Description

In today's world, creativity isn't a nice-to-have in business, it's a must-have. But despite some common misconceptions, creative is not a department, it’s a mindset and a range of skills that anyone can learn and master. The Now Go Create podcast is hosted by Claire Bridges, a former Creative Director, author and now educator who is obsessed with creativity! She’s trained over 40,000 people in creative thinking skills, and worked with teams at brands like ASOS, Netflix and Marks and Spencer to use creativity to their advantage. She’s seen firsthand what impact powerful creative ideas can have to change behaviour, raise awareness, drive sales and be a force for good. With the Now Go Create podcast, she’s here to help you do the same and build your creative toolkit. With each episode, the podcast will take a deep dive into all things creative in business, with actionable advice and practical tools you can use right away. Claire will be chatting with some of the smartest creative thinkers and experts out there to get the inside scoop on what makes us tick creatively. Going behind the songs with Grammy nominated artist Dyo, how to hack your brain for creativity with neuroscientist Ben Martynoga and how to have ideas on demand with improv expert Max Dickins to name just a few. In her solo episodes, Claire will share her favourite and most effective creativity tools with real-world examples and case studies along with a downloadable pod sheet packed with exercises and resources to help you put these ideas into practice. Never run a rubbish brainstorm ever again! Whether you're leading a team, running a business, or just looking to unlock more creativity in your daily work this is the podcast for you. Tune in to unleash your creative potential. Claire Bridges is Chief Spark and Founder of leading creative training consultancy Now Go Create, whose philosophy is that everyone can be creative.
