“This was great workout. I gained not only a bunch of instruments and background how to generate ideas, but also how to do research, define problem and combine this things together. And now I am motivated to continue my education about writing and ideas. Thnx, Mark!”

“Mark has an uncanny ability to break down strategic thinking and planning into a straightforward step-by-step approach. He did a great job of not only explaining his approach to strategy, but also provided ample opportunity for the class to try each step of the process.”

“Interesting class that's grounded in advertising but attempts to break out of the associated confines. Mark is a very pleasant yet focus teacher. I'd definitely like to see what, if anything, Mark teaches as a followup.”

“I thought this was a fantastic course. .I particularly liked the tools that you gave us for running a strategy session. It would be really nice to have pdf's of a worked out example of some of the activities that you mentioned. ”

“Incredibly articulate teacher with who is obviously interested in helping people become better communicators (or strategists in this case) by providing bullshit-free answers and honest testimonial. Great teacher overall.”

“Mark did an awesome job of explaining his craft and sharing his tools for doing remarkable work. He also allowed several opportunities for students to engage in the discussion - it felt like we were really getting to the guts of strategy. Throughout the session, he also shared his tips about communicating in the corporate / business world. eg: Don’t pander to business/marketing by using their language and fluff because you won’t break them of their own pattern of thinking. I don't hear this enough. On another note, It was fascinating to watch him steer the session when it could have easily gone off the rails. One of the fastest 4 hours I've spent in a classroom ever. Lots of actionable takeaways, sprinkled with some insightful gems. ”

“I believe that anytime one can share his method -- not his "favorites," or a simple list of references, but instead a detailed system, tried and tested...on a Saturday afternoon, for 4+ hours, for FREE...that is indeed a special opportunity. I am transitioning mid-career, and I can't afford to go back to school at this time in my life, so the more I can learn from experts in the field like Mark, the better prepared I feel to approach my new career path. I applaud Mark for being creative and humble enough to share and "give back," as it were, and I'm glad I could attend! Hands-down, this was the best Skillshare class I've attended to date.”

“Mark did an awesome job of explaining lots of varied processes (that could've each had their own class) without a) losing track of the purpose or b) confusing the hell out of everyone. He's not one of those guys trying to build up his perceived expertise by trying to coin convoluted terms, etc. Just an honest guy delivering what his class promises. Great teacher, great class. ”

“This was an awesome class! It was super hands-on, so we got to come up with our own ideas and work on explaining them in creative ways throughout the session. Perfect combo of creative thinking best practices/principles and our own brainstorming. I recommend it!”

“Mark was knowledgable and intriguing. His passion for deconstructing a message left me with specific tools to use when thinking about selling a new idea at work. I was also impressed how quickly he got me thinking creatively -since that isn't a muscle I flex regularly in my corporate HR job.”

“A fresh breath of air! Great class that taught techniques to think out of the box about customer experiences and how to take them in to account while planning an ad campaign. Also learnt to come up with effective, concise communication for unique ideas.”

“This class was great. Mark broke down the planning process into helpful tools to use so the idea of strategy was less "lofty". Definitely walked away with a better understanding of how to approach strategy in the future.”

“Mark is a great teacher and facilitator. He really took the time during Straterday to walk his students through the content, took into consideration our ideas and guide us through his thought process. The class itself is full of great frameworks and tips from Mark's years of experience. The strategy itself is more geared for people working in the digital/tech space but useful all round to come up with a brand concept. ”

“This is a great, broadly useful class. It could go by a variety of titles, including "How to Come Up With New Ideas," "What Is An Idea?," and "Write More Compellingly." So, if you're not sure whether it's for you, I'd say go ahead and enroll, you won't regret it.”

“Mark's class provided a structure for understanding the concept of ideas and the method by which to explain and sell them as simply as possible. This is incredibly valuable to my line of work as a producer and the hands-on exercises he led were vital to making the lessons relevant. I especially recommend this Skillshare class to anyone working in an agency environment.”
