Big ideas and amazing creative can get people talking, change behaviour, influence trends and, most importantly, have a huge impact on your bottom line. But what makes a great idea, great? What is work that works? Join us on May 28 at the Art Gallery of Alberta for an evening with Jenny Smith, President/Creative Director of The Ray Creative Agency. Jenny will shed some light on the creative process by giving examples of advertising campaigns that have inspired and motivated people to act. And, most importantly, have made the cash register ring.
