Baron and Seong will discuss how globalisation, technology, social and economic development are rapidly colliding with traditional beliefs and answer how creativity manifests itself in a region as diverse as APAC, whilst gradually transforming culture. In a regional, and ultimately global industry, how do we learn to appreciate each other’s creativity without making every different offering totally homogeneous?

Says Baron: “For brands to earn their way into local cultures and the everyday lives of people our cultural differences should be celebrated in today’s globalised world.”

Join Baron and Seong as they reflect on the concept of creativity within the framework of a global and local world.
