Yet, even the most unpredictable of schedules were turned upside down in 2020 and 2021, as we found ourselves locked down in our homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remote working became a necessity rather than a luxury, time zones collided, and what we considered work, play, or chore became entirely inseparable over the course of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how has Philippa Brown transformed, adapted and survived during COVID-19 to remain creative?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I\u2019ve heard many people quote Dickens\u2019 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, \u201c<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It was the best of times, it was the worst of times<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And you know what? It\u2019s so true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whilst the pandemic and lockdown have impacted teams\u2019 spontaneous creative thinking, it has allowed for different ways to generate ideas and created a breeding ground for creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">From my personal experience, there are three things I am now doing differently:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Firstly, I\u2019m walking so much more than I ever did and I love it! I walk everywhere and for long periods. When I\u2019m walking, it gives me white space to think and is often when I generate my best ideas. Things around me inspire me, and on many occasions, I\u2019ve come home and scribbled down my thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Secondly, I\u2019ve been dreaming lots more than I ever recall. I now keep a notepad by my bed, and the next morning, I wake up and read my scribbles. There\u2019s often some of my most creative and best thoughts within those scribbles!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And finally, learning from my kids who help me creatively. They\u2019ve really inspired me and have generated lots of creative ideas. I can now say I know everything there is to know about TikTok and what\u2019s \u2018cool\u2019 to teenagers these days. Spending so much time with them and sitting down to dinner as a family every day has been great personally, but also for work \u2013 they\u2019ve become my daily research group!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Cannes Lions fast approaching, Cannes Media Lions President and PHD&#8217;s Worldwide CEO, Philippa Brown shares her personal experience on finding inspiration over the last 12 months.\u00a0 A lot happened to creativity over the past year \u2013 both as a concept and as an industry.
