- 19. 19 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY HERE WE ARE ! This multiplicity of technologies has to be handled. Because all the possibilities offered by technologies have to be canalized and turned into creativity. Not technology for the sake of it But technology to serve ideas
- 20. 20 Technology to serve ideas Then Creative Technology is part of the creative process. But as it is meant to think services and usages, Creative Technology is also very close to planners. And most of the time, as Creative Technology is innovating, it also means production follow up CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
- 21. 21 A few years ago technology was the 5th wheel in an agency. Even in digital agencies. Being only considered as a production tool. Now, the tool has grown up and is a true source of inspiration and creation CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
- 22. 22 The tricky question is : when do we need Creative Technology ? In all projects ? Certainly not. So when should we integrate Creative Technology ? Most probably, it‟s important to have a Creative Technology point of view from the beginning. Meaning Planning. But a Creative Technology should not be introduce anywhere. CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

- 26. 26 In 2011, Edward Boches was answering the question “what is the most important job in advertising ?” by : “I’m going out on a limb and suggesting we consider anointing a different role as the most important job in advertising. My nominee? The creative technologist.” He is the Chief Innovation Officer at Mullen, freelance Creative Director and Advertising teacher at Boston University „sCollege of Communication Obviously, and sadly, no one read this article till then … (http://edwardboches.com/the-most-important-job-in-advertising)
- 27. 27 The Creative Technologist has a very good advertising and marketing knowledge. He has a very strong technological background He sometimes has human sciences skills (Ergonomy, Psychology, Sociology, …)
- 28. 28 BUT FIRST OF ALL HE’S A TECHNOLOGIST. With creative skills and sensibility BUT HE IS A TECHNOLOGIST.
- 29. 29 Being a technologist means he loves technologies. He loves them so much than he is able to jump into a new technology, try it and get his own advice about it. But not only.
- 30. 30 What does he do then? Monitoring, monitoring, monitoring. He detects and follow startups He finds creative ideas He develops PoC He does project follow up He team-works with planning, creatives, …
- 31. 31 But the real question is what he does not. The temptation is often strong to couple the function of Creative Technologist with an other function. And it does not work.
- 32. 32 Some Creative Technologists are also in charge of Technical Direction. Not good. He would get stuck in low added-value production jam. Some Creative Technologists are also in charge of Creative Direction. Not good. He would be both judge and jury. The Creative Technologist has to be Creative Technologist.
- 33. 33 Don‟t get me wrong. He‟s not the only one able to have ideas including technologies. He plays two roles : Finding ideas with Technology as a starting point. But he’s also involved into magnifying others ideas.

- 35. 35 Creative Technology is an investment. Remember, we are talking about innovation. Sometimes, we have to “sponsored” some projects. All clients are not willing to bet on technology.
- 36. 36 We can‟t do Creative Technology with all clients. We can‟t do Creative Technology on all projects. I‟d say the best way to start could be working with an external Creative Technologist, on some targeted projects and then capitalize on the experience.
- 37. 37 We need to innovate in the way we communicate. And promote it. There are many many new technologies popping everyday everywhere. Those technologies has to be masterized. This is the Creative Technology. The Creative Technologist is a Creative with a technological way of thinking. Consider it‟s a bonus at start and then capitalize on it.
