Brainstorming Bigger Ideas When Your Team is Remote

With crazy workloads and schedules, it’s no secret that the quality of agency brainstorming sessions is in decline. The ability to free every one of their distractions, go deep, and generate breakthrough thinking is tough. Now, factor in the challenge of not everyone being in the same room.

This training session will address a proven approach for brainstorming bigger ideas with your remote teams. You’ll learn how to activate participants before the meeting begins, lead a productive (and inspiring) virtual session, and then prioritize your new ideas.

Who Should Attend

This training is designed for those who play a role in orchestrating brainstorming sessions at your agency, including strategy, account management, and related positions.

Instructors

Sharon Honjiyo

Director, Agency Growth Strategy

 

Sharon is Director, Agency Growth Strategy at Mirren, a firm that specializes in organic growth and new business training for agencies in digital, PR, advertising, media, experiential, and more. Each year, more than 700 agencies participate in Mirren’s annual conference, training programs, and webinars (www.mirren.com). Their team has trained CEOs and their senior management teams in every region around the world.

 

Sharon brings senior experience on both the client and agency side. Having managed roster agencies and run competitive reviews–in addition to running accounts and RFPs at her agencies–she provides tremendous insight in her training.

 

At Mirren, she empowers agency teams by training on client acquisition, retention, and growth. Achieving this, however, requires becoming a more proactive, strategic business partner. In fact, she believes there are many untapped revenue opportunities for agencies. “As a client, I regularly experienced my agencies missing many of our strategic needs that would have resulted in significant additional work.”

 

Sharon spent a good portion of her career leading account management and strategy at a number of agencies, including DDB, HL2, and Hornall Anderson Design. She was instrumental in leading client relationship training, organic growth, and numerous new business pitches. Prior to joining Mirren, she led the brand marketing team at Holland America Line, a premium cruise line within Carnival Corporation–the world’s largest leisure travel company.

 

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Sharon currently lives in Seattle with her husband.
