Take a look at the incredible freelance talent in issue 8!

Welcome back to the Creative Lowdown!

I’ve always promised I’d keep this short & sweet…. However this issue was a little trickier to do that as November has been huge!

I know I have been banging on about the Create Crowd app A LOT, but it has been such a big effort for me - keeping it simple was harder than it looks! It is not full of bells and whistles, it is simple straight forward, easy to use & most importantly, it makes it easy to find and contact freelancers directly, which is exactly what I wanted!

Search Create Crowd at the AppStore or Google Play, or hit these links.?

If you are interested in listing on Create Crowd it takes 5 minutes!

DOWNLOAD THE APP AND LIST NOW!

Also this month I was a guest on the absolute legend Den Lennie’s podcast! Having not done many of these, I am truly mortified at the amount of times I say ‘you know like’ (sorry Den)??but it was great fun and listen here.???

Create Crowd was also featured in Campaign Brief & I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face the day it was published. Read Here.?

It was also great to meet with a number of big creative agencies who I'm thrilled are using Create Crowd!

The last month has been so rewarding, thank you to all those listing, looking, reading, following, liking...any support for Create Crowd is always appreciated.

JOSH BRYER - CD & SENIOR COPYWRITER

Whoever said advertising isn’t saving lives wasn’t thinking big enough.

I’ve been lucky to be in some incredible teams in the last 25 years. Likeminded souls who don’t wait for briefs to be written. Who believe in ideas that make a real difference in the world.

My passion lies in innovative new media solutions with the power to change human behaviour.

That could be co-inventing a smart outdoor smoke detector network that reduces the impact of bushfires for Australians.

Or getting a testicular cancer message into the middle of a porn film.

Or calling up the President of Palau with an idea for a passport pledge?to treat the islands with care.

Or opening a much-needed virtual pub during Covid-19.

And while helping make ideas like these a reality, whether I’m one of the creatives or a Creative Director, there’s always Brand Comms to be written.

Be it a website, an eDM, a film script, a social post, a print ad, or the back of a bogroll pack (Even when bogroll sells itself.)

So I roll up my sleeves and write it. Because it’s the craft that turns innovative thinking into a lasting part of culture.

Only then can you change behaviour.
