There are hundreds of client marketers out there who are looking for different creative ideas they don't have, from creative talent they can't reach.
There are literally thousands of brilliant creatives out there looking for the chance to use their talents on challenging, innovative briefs that they never seen.
Our ambition is to create a powerful alternative to the way the creative market works,
and in the process produce the sort of alternative creative ideas that will make it work better for everyone.
So whether you are a creative talent or a creatively minded client we really want you to get involved.
The Alternative Genius creative community cloud was asked to design the December Front Cover of the Drum - Creativity Fights Back.
The brief was to make the case that creativity, in the face of all detractors, in an increasingly automated world, remains central to what makes brands and marketing worthwhile.
