“We found Idea Champions in a desparate search for brainstorm facilitation training and haven’t looked back. During the past few months, they’ve helped us harness our naturally innovative spirit and significantly improved the way we execute our ideation process. We now have the tools and process we need to dig deeper into our creativity — adding a lot more value and power to our company culture.”
— Jody Johnson, Chief People Officer, M Booth & Associates
“Idea Champions came to consult with M Booth just weeks after we were named ‘Creative Agency of the Year’ and helped us unlock an even greater level of thinking for our clients across the board. The creative shift came almost immediately after our sessions with Idea Champions began and continued to grow exponentially with each session. Now, our thinking is more innovative, more strategic and reached more efficiently.”
— Andrew Rossi, Creative Director, MBooth & Associates
