Creative Brief – Special Keyword Code: HANDCRAFTEDP5BRIEF
This month‘s Creative Brief brings you the theme Handcrafted. The pandemic was a learning moment for everyone across the globe. People had to learn new ways of working, new ways of communicating, and new ways to occupy the sudden excess of free time that was spent with family, friends, or at events or restaurants. For many, this was learning how to make sourdough bread; for others, it was learning to crochet, make soap, sew, or take up woodworking. This is a way to highlight both the aforementioned amateurs – successful and not – and the true artisans crafting and creating, all by hand. So let‘s get handcrafted!
