campaigns that are of the moment.
'How to predict the future' takes place on Thursday 8th
March, 6:15pm to 7:30pm, at 303 MullenLowe: Level 2, 33 Playfair Street,

As managing partner, digital and innovation at 303 MullenLowe, Morris (left)
has honed and developed innovation tools and workshop techniques to help
the agency's clients tap into social conversations and predict trends
as they're emerging.
Says Morris: "Creatives have the power to drive people to action and
influence behaviour, but only if our ideas are relevant and take
inspiration from culture. We wanted to share some of our secrets as to
how we identify the trends and technologies that are having a huge
impact on the future of design."
As co-founder of design studio
D.A.M, Boston (above, right) has worked with some of the world's biggest - and smallest
- brands. He uses design and brand thinking to develop new products and
brands, or revitalise existing ones.
Says Boston: "As someone
who's passionate about design and creative culture, I'm looking forward
to sharing a few things I've learned about tapping into culture to push
the boundaries of what's possible in beautiful ways."
