In 2014, we started to explore what the future looks like in the advertising industry in Creative Social’s book: Hacker, Maker, Teacher, Thief: Advertising’s Next Generation. And as we dug deeper we started to realise that the modern skillset needed for a modern creative, also applied to the modern problem solver. As technology continues to accelerate and more tools become available to us, we believe that we are entering a new Age of Creativity. And to thrive in this environment, we all need to develop new skillsets to solve modern problems. There is no longer a single approach to problem solving and our belief is that everyone needs to embrace a future in which they have to become a hacker, a maker, a teacher and a thief. In this publication, we will be sharing stories of how people are already solving problems using these skillsets and what you can learn. We hope you join us in our journey into finding new and better ways to solve business problems
