Snowmen on the move

Energy provider ENTEGA and DDB recently staged a demonstration in Berlin, a demonstration of some 800 snowmen. To increase public awareness on climate change, ENTEGA and DDB called on the public to build as many snowmen as possible in one day. The expectation was that the melting snowmen would function as a warning sign of global warming. The event lasted for three days during which time the exhibit was paired with discussion sessions, readings, concerts as well as a climate change display. The snowman demonstration is part of ENTEGA’s series of thought-provoking activities and events with which ENTEGA and DDB Berlin aim at a better and more interactive dialogue with society.

The real nature of creative intelligence

DDB Group Asia Pacific hosted Sir Ken Robinson at the inaugural Spikes Asia Festival, September 2009. Having watched Sir Ken on Ted.com, where he claims schools kill creativity, I was already a big fan of his beliefs. Watching him ‘live’ was an awe inspiring and moving experience as he presented his arguments in an articulate, entertaining and thought provoking way. With many of his beliefs aligned with our Four Freedoms, Sir Ken made me proud I worked at DDB.
