Creative Content

GREAT book give-away this month!
(see details below)

With David Bernstein, Principal of Able Press Consulting and Publishing Director of The New Pamphleteer

RSVP requested to Michelle@CreativeEmergence.com

Changes in technology mean that everyone can publish their own book, launch their own website, create podcasts, produce email newsletters, and more. That's wonderful, but it also means that we are all inundated with more content than we could possibly ever digest-in the US alone there were about 500,000 books published last year! In this crowded environment, how do you develop content that people actually want to read, view or listen to?

In this interactive, hands-on workshop, we'll explore how to apply the creative process to developing unique and compelling content that stands out from the crowd. You'll learn:

• How to think strategically about what content you develop
• Tips for utilizing emerging technologies as part of the content creation process
• How to make your content serve your business needs-while distinguishing it from pure marketing copy

CCN member (and brilliant man!), Bill Smith, has written an incredible new book. This book gives new insights into the source of your creative power, and how you can use that creativity to transform yourself, your organization and your world. The book contains a fascinating instrument that revels to you your own pattern of creative power. This work is truly ground breaking! It will give you an original lens to view and experience your creativity.

We will be giving one book away at the March gathering AND Bill has generously agreed to give the rest to those at the meeting for cost (about 20% off the regular price).
