The Power of Creativity

I was recently surfing the web for some advertisements: not video advertisements aired on television, but print ads, pictures, billboard advertisements and the like. And its 100% true that Creativity is everything in this world !!

The power of pictures and their equivalence to a 1000 words can be truly witnessed here. Pictures capture attention. They captivate the audience and turn their attention to the subject you are selling. As a general rule, Creativity can be associated with ‘originality’. These ideas are original, unseen and the associations contained are interesting. Although ‘creativity’ might in itself seems a simple process, but it is quite complex and one which has been studied far and wide. Creativity is generally associated with chance, accident, dreams, innovation, genius or even mental illness !

Advertisement is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience to take some action. With advertisement spending in 2007 estimated at US $385billion and an introduction of new media, it is a field which has tremendous opportunities. Increase in competition, globalization, awareness of customers have forced corporations to innovate and put forth creative ideas, to pull audiences.
