THE MOVEMENT! Do you consider yourself a creative person? A creator? A creative? – I know most of the people close to me are!! Whether drawing, dancing, singing, designing, taking pictures, doing sports and writing may be the most common ways to express creativity, there are many others that are really hard to explain or to put into paper or a digital platform in order to share them with the world.! What about a hedge funds analyst who creates new methods to estimate closer how the stocks are going to move? Or the CFO of a firm creating an innovative compensation structure which motivates employees? Or the entrepreneur that is creating a new way of delivering cupcakes to your doorstep?! Well, my friend Carlos (who wrote an article for this magazine) introduced me to one start-up he is working with: The CREATIV Movement.! The guys at CREATIV have created an amazing platform in order to showcase creativity in any expression you can imagine without restrictions! Within this platform you are able to upload videos, music, photos, designs and articles, with your inputs and your perspectives. You will for sure inspire other creative people and you will obtain an interesting feedback from a worldwide audience.! It is not about what you did today, how your mood is, what picture or quote makes you laugh, it is about what makes you feel passionate about creating something! What is that special thing, that you have created that may inspire others, whether a picture, a design or a new method or business strategy...! This is my friend Carlos portal (http://www.iamacreativ.com/carlos) ! I cannot say if this is or not for you; what I can say is that is worth to pay a visit and see what the movement has to offer you. I am registered and with baby steps and I am exploring the possibilities the platform has to offer me. What is certain is that I have drafted a lot of inspiration for my creations by just navigating and seeing around in the platform what other creativs are doing! The landing page does not offers enough information for you to assess what is behind it. My suggestion for you is to register and navigate into the platform. You can easily delete your account later on if what you find doesn’t make you tick. ! Have a happy exploring time!! Dey! TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLATFORM HERE! http://bit.ly/deycreativ ! How does it work?! CREATE a custom online presence within a community especially made to support your creativity.! Well the cool thing is that is not just about having a profile and share what you do with people, getting newsfeeds of the creativs you follow, and so on. The platform actually gives you the chance to create and completely customize your own portal (like a website page) where you can portray your creations or those things that inspire you – something you can share as a website – your visitors do not need to login into the platform to see your creations! At the same time you get traffic from the over 40.000 registered users the platform has manage to attract in only few months of existence!! INSPIRE people from around the world and be inspired to challenge the possibilities of imagination and creativity. Fuel your [CREATIV] pursuit.! Your first step is as simple as registering as a new user with your Facebook or G+ accounts or your email address.! Whether you are a runway model in Milan, a musician in Oregon, an inventor in Hong Kong, a base jumper freefalling in Bolivia, or just finishing up your first painting in Cairo, your talent empowers you to express your true self. You are a [CREATIV]! EMBRACE new opportunities by connecting with people globally through creativity, building a world wide network to enhance reach and credibility within the [CREATIV] community.! crea tivity Would you see them as examples of creativity?
