Steve Corby





	So, am I really a suit who�s got an inner creative trying to break free? Or, am I just a creative who's been drinking too much of the corporate kool-aid? Does it really matter? No, and actually it's a huge advantage. If I could use one word to describe the current state of advertising/entertainment/technology, it would be collision. Movies are becoming ads. Ads are becoming entertainment. Technology is effecting how we receive all this information. So how is this relevant to my identity crisis? Well, in these converging industries how can you survive creatively without an understanding of the larger strategy? Or, how can you form a strong strategy if you have no idea how the final message will communicate creatively? You can't. Luckily, I have a strong understanding of both aspects. Not to mention I'm a tech-nut and a great schmoozer (perfect for client meetings).
