Crispin Porter Bogusky’s Andrew Keller is looking for an answer. The question: how to stop the Gulf oil well from spewing its contents into the ocean.
Keller writes on his Posterous: “Often times it seems like creativity has the power to generate solutions that out-perform the conventional approaches that we follow due to ‘expertise’, functional fixedness or cultural pressure…So when three CP+Bers came to me with the idea of asking the agency to take a crack at solving this oil spill thing, I jumped at the chance. It’s just so crazy it might work.”
Keller opened up the question and wants your answers. Call it a creative puzzle with real world implications. But keep this in mind — if a solution to the current oil debacle emerges from Crispin, you’re all screwed.
