In one of my first Advertising classes at Brigham Young University, my professor asked us for the definition of advertising. After a few standard Wikipedia answers, he wrote on the board,
Advertising is creative problem solving.
That has stuck with me. Advertising isn’t just persuasion. It isn’t just communication. True advertising takes simple problems and solves them though creative ideas and innovative research.
I use this principle for all of my advertising projects. First, I seek out the core problem, then through in-depth research and a mapped out strategy, I create unique and imaginative solutions.

I found your blog via a series of clicks from your sister Mary Beth’s FB profile. I was in her class at Highlands back in Northern Kentucky. I’ve been blogging for almost ten years, and I always enjoy finding new places to visit. I also work in social media – for the Department of Defense – and loved it. Best wishes to you and your blog! And good luck finding a design you love – that’s the fun/crazy part!
