Herding Cats with Social Media
Bracket’s session at Media Camp London 4 during Social Media Week generated lots of discussion about the best methods and tools for helping groups of creatives to get things done. It looked at how social media could be used to support collaborative working between artists and designers etc that are used to working independently, usually have autonomy over their work, are characteristically busy, and highly skilled in generating ideas. The aim of the session was to develop solutions for how to channel that creativity into tangible outcomes and how social media can be used to support the process along the way.

Being creative doesn’t just happen between 9am and 5pm – you can’t switch it on and off. Good ideas come at the most unexpected moments, and that spark of inspiration can happen spontaneously. So when you’re working on a project within a team, how can you capture that creative spark and share it almost instantly?

As a talented creative practitioner, your individual work and maintaining a strong identity will always be important. Your own creative talents are why people would want to work with you in the first place! So if you are keen on collaborating, this means considering new ways of working.
