CREATIVE. KIND.
What does KINDNESS have to do with CREATIVITY?
As we emerge from the pandemic era, we (creative professionals) find ourselves at a defining moment in the new age of workplace mindfulness. Will we continue to prioritize the bottom line and cut-throat competition, or will we choose to thrive together in a culture of empathy?
Join award-winning marketing creative Yuhei Ogawa on CREATIVE. KIND. as we explore the transformative power of everyday kindness to forge a better future, one where success is measured not just in efficiency or competitive edge, but in the strength of our communities and the well-being of our colleagues.
Kind Creative is possible. Are you ready to be part of the change?
CREATIVE. KIND.
