I'm a firm believer that only risk takers and those who think outside of the box really get ahead in this world. Recently I had some
training at work on
presentation delivery from a company called oratorio. In preparation for our class, we had to put together a
presentation that we would be delivering for the purpose of a group critique. Mine started out as a joke... "How interactive media could save
Britney spears"..but as I jumped into it, it took a turn for the better and I got serious. I
delivered it to the class, and
received great feedback.
So,I said why not.. dug around and found Britney's new publicist info and sent it to him. Not only did I get a call back, we are now negotiating a deal to implement and manage several of the ideas I presented.
The whole experience has reiterated several things to me:
- Dont be afraid to use pink background and a half-naked starlet on the first slide of your presentation. You gotta play to your audience.
- Oftentimes good ideas are born out of bad ones.
- Go Big or go home! Media is all about creativity, ideation and out-of-the box thinking. Do it!
