IdeaSpotting

Following the success of Zing! five steps and 101 tips for creativity on command, Portfolio Center Writing Advisor Sam Harrison has just released his second book, IdeaSpotting: How to Find Your Next Great Idea (HOW Books 2006). The 256-page book is filled with inspiration from a wide variety of creative people—writers, designers, architects, entertainers, scientists, and many others—to help jump-start the reader’s own imagination.

Sam Harrison is a former senior vice president of an S&P 500 firm and has worked with such clients and affiliates as NFL, Major League Baseball, Hallmark, Microsoft, American Express, Merrill Lynch, Quicken, Hasbro, John Denver Environmental Groups, U.S. Humane Society, Arts Alliance and Zoo Atlanta.

He has experience on all sides of the creative communications industry—the agency and freelance side, the client and corporate side, and the academic and consulting side. In addition to his Advisory and teaching roles at Portfolio Center, he frequently guest-lectures at colleges and universities and presents seminars and keynote talks to companies across the United States and Canada.

IdeaSpotting is available at your local bookstore or online at Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com.
