Ep 32: INFINITE-CHOICE with Ben Keenan - a podcast by ALTS Projects

Joining A Lot To Say is Ben Keenan - Consulting Creative Director, Advisor and all-rounder with creative projects. 

He has led digital creative offerings at M&C Saatchi and Clemenger BBDO in Melbourne, and has received a significant amount of accolades for his work across multiple clients and industries.

We go through his career starting with immersion in indie band scene, through to leading teams creating projects in-house at big agencies, to eventually branching out into his own consultancy.

Ben consistently works with emerging creatives and teaches his own creative methods as a form of education.

A few points in the chit-chat:

• Creative Directoring a whole bunch of things
• Analogue Childhoods and Digital Adulthoods
• Moving into the world of synthesisers, and a life-long love of music
• From Indie to Mainstream
• Internal creative vision
• Developing the ‘Hungerithm’
• Forcing yourself to think your way through problems to solution
• Transitioning out of agency-land
• The first Thought-Police project…
• Developing a methodology for education
