Creative Matters isn’t just Patrick. (Okay, mostly it is.) There is also Dorte Collister, who runs the office. And Julie Charlton, who does the research and our marketing.
Also, as and when we put together more comprehensive training programmes, we call on a network of former marketing directors, chief strategy officers and planning directors.

Fitness classes for your brain.
The brain is a muscle. Our creative training courses and workshops can help you generate, judge and share idea, pumping them up from good to great.
