Last week, I had Luke Sullivan as a guest on the Power to the Small Business Podcast. Luke is a creative director at GSD&M and author of the book: Hey Whipple, Squeeze This: A guide to creating great advertising. He defines great advertising as the convergence of advertising that is fun, exciting and interesting, with advertising that makes the cash register ring.
That explanation sounds like we need a dose of creativity, right? In this excerpt from the podcast episode, Luke explains the role of creativity in advertising.
