Why is the Creativity a Foundation?

In order to sell the products for the companies, they often opt for highly reputed advertising agencies. Advertising agencies are often, the guiding partner of any company for reaching audiences. While attending one of the seminars, I experienced an example of how advertisers even under pressure get to evolve with creative dimensions, I along with other participants was given a situation that “Suppose You Have a Flood in Bombay, in this situation, how will you accept and work with an LED Company Clent to increase its presence” Losing the situation, the advertising company told us that they would literally use the Gateway of India and turn them up with LED Lights.

Creativity is the process involved in each and every step that we take, in-fact without even noticing our lives, we continue to innovate and practice works creatively. Be it a student or even a businessman, be it a house woman or even anyone. Sarcastically, Creativity is also being involved in the process of how people often create new fraud techniques in order to fool people.
