Interactive Creative Seminars

Sean giving one of his many unique branding and marketing workshops.
Sean Tracey leads lively, interactive seminars, professional development workshops, and speaks about creativity, branding, TV production and advertising. If you are interested in having Sean Tracey present or lead a workshop for your group, please contact us. Click here or here to see a clip of Sean speaking.

Sean’s newest workshop focuses on refining the branding/marketing process in a presentation called Sean’s ABC’s of Marketing. From Audacious Advertising and BHAG Branding (having a Big Hairy Audacious Goal) to Concise Creative and Dogged Development, Sean breaks down this marketing technique into simple, fun, and productive steps. Think Bigfoot (that’s right, Sasquatch): it creates a big footprint and leaves you wanting to see and learn more. This presentation will leave you ready to make an impression.

Creativate and Creativate II: Tactics in a Down Economy can be held as an interactive, “roll-your-sleeves-up-and-get-your-brain-going” workshop or a more traditional presentation (Sean speaks while your group listens and/or chows down on lunch or dinner). Both offer helpful and inspiring tools and techniques for marketers and advertisers to come up with new ideas and solutions to their marketing challenges. Sean proves that everyone can be creative. Creativate in a Down Economy focuses on low cost and guerilla solutions.

Branding Schmanding addresses and dissects brand positioning, brand personality, strategic campaign concepts and instructs on how to understand and articulate your brand positioning—with a sensitivity toward the consumer’s point of reference.

TV’s Not Dead focuses on the choice of tv and motion media, how to create good creative, and identifying good and bad creative.
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt Your Brand will help you identity whether proposed advertising concepts and ideas could potentially HELP or HURT your brand and build its “singular distinction” —before it’s TOO LATE and the damage is done. This session has amazing examples of major brands making major mistakes. FUN, but a bit scary!
