‘Fly and be free’ all you frustrated creatives
There’s a kid in everyone of us they say. And in agencyland, there’s often a frustrated creative inside everyone from the receptionist to the chief executive.
The Brand Shop’s Ashton Bishop and former Bellamy Hayden MD Simon Rutherford, now CEO of Slingshot, think they’ve created a place “where frustrated creatives can be free”.
They’ve come up with the concept of Eric the Circle where you can basically draw your own cartoon and share it with your friends through social media.
But it’s not all just fun and games. Bishop and Rutherford are hoping to turn this into a legitimate commercial vehicle with creations being digitally earmarked to track their usage.
It was featured in the Springwise enewsletter this week. 100,000+ distribution in 120 countries should give it a bit of a boost.
