É muito importante sempre ter em vista o objetivo e traçar caminhos diferentes para atingi-lo. Nunca é uma fórmula de bolo, já pronta.

Remember Creativity and Technology are not the same thing. So maintaining creativity amidst technical challenges isn’t actually the problem at hand. Long before event-day, always start with a creative strategy and creative concept for which all creative decisions are measured. These provide inspiration and guardrails for every decision… to ensure a consistent creative experience. This informs everything from host bookings to script style to music to production design… etc. Then when the inevitable technical hurdle arrives, you can assess what tricks & tools are actually available from a technical standpoint – and quickly adjust your creative accordingly – because your whole event was created from the strategy and creative first.
