Unit introduction

‘I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.’ — Pablo Picasso

The ability to think and work creatively is essential to a successful career in marketing. Even beyond the obvious creative roles, such as copywriters and graphic designers, there is a need to be able to see beyond your current horizons. Creativity can be applied to the solution of staffing issues, office management and client relations to name but a few areas.
