This is a video that advertising agency Drogra5 did for Guitar Hero. I think Droga’s secret is to come up with awesome ideas that are insanely hard to execute … And then execute them. (Like The Tap Project or The Million Program)

7 Ways To Boost Creativity

1. Listen to Lupe Fiasco. His lyrics are sick. If Lupe doesn’t inspire you, we are obviously from different generations.
2. Always carry a small notebook and a pen or pencil around with you. That way, if you are struck by an idea, you can quickly write it down.

And it evolved into this rant. Allow me to back up for a bit. I was watching Hockey Night In Canada on Saturday and saw this ad:

I’ve written before about Dave Trott. He’s one of those guys who has so much advertising experience that he oozes knowledge. Luckily, the “ooze” is packaged in awesome stories.
