Creativity does not occur in a vacuum. Instead, innovation requires a company’s culture, collaborative practices and physical space to function as a whole. While many companies are certain that they want to encourage creativity in their workforce, the methods still elude them. The Creative Open House Series will explore the creative and collaborative processes instituted by Philadelphia’s creative economy and provide insight into how these practices can be applied to any business.
Join us on December 5, 2012 as key team members of SEER Interactive and Bluecadet discuss how their collaborative methods and unique work space influence the creative drive of each firm.
Founded in 2007, Bluecadet is a full-service, interactive design studio that brings talented designers, technologists, journalists, and artists together to create innovative technology that excites and engages users. Bluecadet works with clients both locally and nationally, many of whom do business in the artistic and creative fields. Locally the studio’s client list includes City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, Eastern State Penitentiary, Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Corporation, Philadelphia Museum of Art and University City District. Outside of Philadelphia, Bluecadet has worked with MoMA, National Geographic, the National Parks Service and the Smithsonian.
SEER Interactive, our host on December 5, has been a leader in search engine optimization (SEO), paid search marketing (PPC), conversion maximization and analytics since 2002. The company is headquartered in a refurbished church in Northern Liberties, originally built in 1850, affectionately named the “Search Church.” In this unique workspace SEER services a wide range of clients including Crayola, LinkedIn, Urban Outfitters and the University of Pennsylvania. In 2011 SEER was named one of the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Best Places to Work. SEER’s team is committed to giving back to the community; each employee volunteers for a cause of their choosing.
Our conversation will be moderated by Alex Hillman, Co-Founder of Indy Hall. Indy Hall, a coworking space located in Old City Philadelphia, caters to the needs of a modern workforce that doesn’t always have an office to call home. Members of Indy Hall include creative and technology professionals from an array of disciplines and backgrounds; making for a workspace that promotes collaboration across professional fields.
