World Headquarters
Isn’t wireless networking great at eliminating clutter?
This photo shows most of the gear needed to produce high quality creative advertising and marketing work. Using these inexpensive tools, I can plan, write, design, illustrate, and deliver complex, integrated projects to clients all over the world. By working online, I can collaborate with almost anyone while my clients can review my work-in-progress at their convenience.
This workflow eliminates the go-betweens (account execs, project managers, traffic coordinators) and reduces overhead — when compared to a traditional ad agency — by an order of magnitude.
Of course, the downside to all of this is the lack of one-on-one contact. But who says that working this way precludes human contact? More than anything else, this workflow frees me up for better quality, more direct interactions.
After working on my own, the novelty of getting “on the road” makes me more productive. Boring hotels are great for writing. Travel is great for brainstorming. So go ahead, make my day, send me that ticket to Des Moines.
