My nominee? The creative technologist. He is the Chief Innovation Officer at Mullen, freelance Creative Director and Advertising teacher at Boston University sCollege of Communication Obviously, and sadly, no one read this article till then 36. 36 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST The Creative Technologist has a very good advertising and marketing knowledge. He has a very strong technological background He sometimes has human sciences skills (Ergonomy, Psychology, Sociology, ) 37. 37 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST BUT FIRST OF ALL HE IS A TECHNOLOGIST. With creative skills and sensibility BUT HE IS A TECHNOLOGIST. 38. 38 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST Being a technologist means he loves technologies. He loves them so much than he is able to jump into a new technology, try it and get his own advice about it. But not only. 39. 39 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST What does he do then? Monitoring, monitoring, monitoring. He detects and follow startups He finds creative ideas He develops PoC He does project follow up He team-works with planning, creatives, 40. 40 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST But the real question is what he does not. The temptation is often strong to couple the function of Creative Technologist with an other function. And it does not work. 41. 41 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST Some Creative Technologists are also in charge of Technical Direction. Not good. He would get stuck in low added-value production jam.

The Creative Technologist has to be Creative Technologist. 42. 42 CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST Dont get me wrong. Hes not the only one able to have ideas including technologies. He plays two roles : Finding ideas with Technology as a starting point. But hes also involved into magnifying others ideas. 43. 43 ABOUT CREATIVE TECH.
