YOUR WORDS

School of Ideas gives you new approaches to thinking creatively, based on real world examples and tools that actually work. Right away we were equipped with a common language around brand, strategy and ideas that make the process easier, and more insightful.

School of Ideas helped my team direct their thinking in new ways. The training took high-level concepts and strategies and distilled them into very simple and actionable behaviors that will significantly elevate our approach.

School of Ideas was of immediate benefit to our organization. We all left inspired, but perhaps even more importantly with a toolbox to get us to stronger work. I saw my team using School of Ideas’ frameworks in documents, on whiteboards and as a pressure test to work the day after the training. The majority of trainings you leave with a few nuggets and a full inbox, after School of Ideas we left as better marketers.

We initially brought School of Ideas in to facilitate a workshop, but they brought so much more!

Everyone left the workshop energized and with a tangible plan of action. Can’t wait to work with them again!

The younger members of my team got a classical rigorous schooling in strategic planning, and the more seasoned leaders took away a bag of tips, tricks and the dark arts of selling strategy and creative to even the toughest clients.
