Killing thirty-seven ideas

How we run the first week of a brand project.

Week one is for volume. Forty directions on the wall by Friday, most of them wrong on purpose.

The cut

We kill ideas in the room with the client, out loud. What survives is usually the one everybody kept sketching in the margins.
