Writers, artists and other artists for whom creativity works are used not to rely on the muse but to train inspiration. Creativity is also a routine for PR professionals because we often deal with creating campaigns, finding concepts for projects and other creative tasks. How do you come up with an Effie Award-worthy idea?
- Steal like an artist. Or rather, observe, analyze, and adapt because most ideas are not original. To get inspired for a new project, create a mood board with examples of projects of a similar theme from your niche or ideas that caught your eye.
- One head is good, but the resource of the whole team is better. Therefore, we advise you to organize brainstorming sessions to foster a sense of unity, to share thoughts and to generate cool ideas together. If you don’t have a team or don’t want to involve them because of the little things, brainstorming can always be done with AI.
- Do a brain warm-up before brainstorming. Many exercises promote creativity development. For example, try to write down the maximum number of ways to use a glass, battery, book, etc., in one minute.
- Record your thoughts. Keep a notebook or a separate note on your smartphone, where you will write down everything that comes to your mind, even if it seems unimportant to you. These records can be a reliable source of inspiration in the future, ensuring you’re always prepared for creative breakthroughs.
- Try new things. A new trend in TikTok, a friend’s hobby that you were indifferent to, a workshop to deepen your professional skills, or just to come home a different way. New activities or unusual ways of solving daily tasks make the brain work more intensively.
So inspiration is a muscle that needs to be exercised. The more you use it, the stronger it will be.
