Marketing always looks backwards to what is already known.

1. Look forwards., Not backwards. Yes, Take learnings from what’s been done in the past. But don’t expect looking back – re-searching – to show you the answers innovation needs to find. Search forward for the answers you need. Talk to people about where they’re going, what they’re striving for, and what that journey feels like for them. 2. What resistance to persuasion will your innovation encounter?

1. Design is moving an existing condition to a preferred one. But it takes time to become aware of how little we know. Your success is based on your willingness to see what’s in front of you. 2. Most people are cynical about the messaging they get everyday. There is now a collective resistance to persuasion. Climate control is an example. Intend no harm.

Stop Researching. Start Searching.

Nothing is worse than repeating yourself

1. Repeating yourself is not innovation. Innovation author, Scott Anthony talks about the ‘sucking sound of the core’. Company ‘group think’ and brands’ history so often pull ‘would-be’ innovators back to ‘what we do’… As anyone who has read jump!’s Dirty Book of Innovation knows, we like people who advocate working by getting your hand dirty. Sarah Illenberger’s work uses cacti, ping pong, welding, bicycle inner-tubes, giant leaves and home appliances … When innovation can come from anywhere, let’s not spend our time repeating ourselves!

1. The world is a big place and everything has crazy potential to inspire. Everything is there to be played with. The most fertile play is ‘analog’. Everyone’s so busy ‘liking’ on their devices, no one’s getting out there, getting there hands dirt and ‘loving’ in the real world.

The world is full of crazy innovation potential. Use it.

1. Innovation is a step into the unknown. Each innovation project will challenge everyone involved as mistakes are made and lessons learnt ‘on the fly’. 2. And a desire from all to deliver truly new innovation. To surprise.

1. So, dive in at the deep end. Accept the challenge that comes your way and figure it out! 2. Great work creates surprise. Great clients challenge you to bring something truly new to their brand.

Great innovation needs great freedom, great support and great urgency. Provide them.

1. Innovation is your opportunity to express the brilliance of your brand, your company, yourself. Don’t sell any of these parties short as you build innovation and don’t forget, as Hingston re-invented his solution with a week to go, it’s not over ‘til it’s over. 2. Expressing their ‘personal identity’ is possibly an under-used source of inspiration for innovation by brands. 3. Colour is a wonderful source of ideas. Pick a colour, jot down the feelings and associations it evokes. Create ideas from these start points. It works!

1. With a new David Bowie video ready for release in a week’s time, an idea just wouldn’t let go of Tom Hingston. The vide idea was to juxtapose war’s violence and its jubilation. Tom felt something was missing. He re-made the film, adding distortion throughout. Bowie approved. Be uncompromising. 2. Your personal identity is one of the most powerful things you possess. So, express it in your work. 3. Play with the language of colour. As a designer, as a brand, colour is your swagger. It creates powerful emotions.

Be uncompromising in your innovation ambition

Play is not the opposite of work

1. If you’re an innovator, don’t write off play. It’s part of your job description. When we laugh, we’re open. When we’re open, we create new. 2. Creating experiments for your business, for your brand feeds innovation. Ask us about are current eating experiment or when we moved jump! to Warsaw for a week. 3. Fight for your ideas!

1. Jessica Walsh talked about Carl Jung’s Play Instinct: “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. “ She advocates a ‘Play State of Mind’ when working, stressing the need for confidence (to fail), time, persistence and humour 2. Experiment with life. Trying to figure out relationship issues, she embarked on a project, ‘40 Days of Dating’. http://fortydaysofdating.com/ 3. What she’s leaned from her design partner, Stefan Sagmeister is to fight for what you believe in. When you have a solution you believe in, commit to it and give it the defence it deserves.

If you’re not playing, you’re not innovating hard enough
