They say all revolutions are started by dreamers.

If this is true, ihaveanidea is one long dream. We vow not to rest until we make drastic and constructive changes in the advertising industry. Why? Because the advertising industry we want to work for doesn't yet exist.

The most valuable thing in any ad industry is not the money, fame, awards, or clients we have, but the know-how of the many talented individuals in the creative industry.

It is our mission to serve the industry as a mechanism for communication, self-analysis and intellectual growth. We will document the world's creative community and disseminate this priceless knowledge to help it grow and flourish. We will ask questions, challenge the establishment and the norms, and make every possible effort to help the industry we so passionately love.

This is not a website. It is an interactive project, an online and accessible pool of knowledge to which you can and should contribute. We are much bigger as a whole than as individuals.

For creatives, by creatives as one.

Brendan Watson | Director of Educational Resources
brendan@ihaveanidea.org
Trade: Art Director Bio: Needless to say he doesn’t have much free time. So instead of writing a real bio he submitted this, his high school yearbook write-up: "I’ll never forget summer days on the canal bank, luge lessons and rockin’ out to Wham! Smitty, you still owe me that Police Academy tape. Go Irish Football! Go Banana! Zeppelin Rules. And so does badminton. Give’r. "
