Tue, 28 Dec 2010 01:02:02 GMT http://www.editingoffice.com More and more corporations are seeking outside the box communicators. At a time of information overload, businesses are filtering out the tried and true in effort to offer their clients a new experience, brand or concept that will revolutionize the market. This is an era of creativity, and only unique products or brands with a creative angle get consumer attention. Being outside the box doesn’t refer to outlandishness. It refers to changing our world for the better, making life simpler for the consumer, or shifting to higher levels of knowledge. Both at the corporate and university level, there is a trend toward freshness of material as one idea becomes a stepping stone for the next. An interconnectedness of ideas spirals to create this shift. At the corporate level, for example, the trend is to create simplicity and build interactive relationships with the consumer. At the university level, professors seek to learn from their students as much as students seek to learn from their professors. We are all teachers and learners. We are living in an era of outside the box writing and communication, and this is producing a forward-moving shift toward a more knowledgeable world. Wed, 13 May 2009 15:05:40 GMT
