| | | | The power of displacement: the impact of migration on creativity | | 26 November 2013, 12:27PM |  The creative industry is founded on the power of stepping into the unknown. Those who eschew the norm and deliver a fresh, new perspective on the world are no longer burnt at the stake but held up as visionaries. And this doesn't just have to be a figurative displacement – to unlock your greater creative potential there is much to be said for booking that one way ticket and waving goodbye to your comfort zone.

| | | | Digital and Christmas advertising - have we missed a trick? | | 25 November 2013, 11:50AM |  Every November we're bombarded by the latest Christmas ads from retailers and brands aiming to instil in us that warm fuzzy feeling in time for the festive period.

| | | | The next generation of apps | | 22 November 2013, 10:22AM |  Entertainment has always been the sector that has dominated the app world- Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Fifa; they’ve all had us hooked. However, as we have seen throughout the year, the mobile spotlight is really on the emerging markets. There is no wonder why when looking at the explosive growth in these regions. By 2017 Ovum expects China, India, and Indonesia, to have 3 billion mobile connections between them. The handset manufacturers have certainly not turned a blind eye with Nokia, Samsung and Apple, to name a few looking to the emerging markets to connect the next billion customers.
