It's About Creativity

Claire ErwinReal Ideas is about creativity.

It’s about aiding the process and having positive impact through mentorship and collaboration.  The creative arts is an area that can be intimidating for a person to get their start, add to it the expectation of how fast communications and campaigns are built today and you can just feel the pressure in the air.  I believe that what we do at Real Ideas helps students and young professionals know how to collaborate to the best of their abilities and to build on a team structure of many versus the skill structure of one.  When you combine the best strengths in the creative ares together on a team, you see fabulous results.  I see a promising future for all the students who have taken the Real Ideas challenge.

This is a community of Alumni and mentors who will be connected for many years, even careers long and it’s a great feeling to know all the talent and promise that can be brought together to create real impact in what they are capable of creating.  What I think is most special about the project is that it’s on a global scale.   A Real Ideas Alumni and faculty or industry mentor can be from anywhere in the world and as this program grows, I suspect so will the collaborations that were started because of a Real Ideas Studio connection.  It’s a global creative, a global reach, a global community.
