Innovative work replaces work you are currently doing.
Alex Varricchio, together with his friend and business partner, Kiirsten May, co-founded UpHouse in 2017. UpHouse is an award-winning branding and marketing firm that works collaboratively with clients across the globe to invigorate their brand position, create achievable marketing plans and cultivate the skills of their creative people. In his past life, Alex Varricchio worked with one of the largest advertising agencies on the Canadian Prairies for 10 years, and eventually led the creative department as creative director. In addition to founding UpHouse, Alex and Kiirsten have recently launched Crainstorm, a crowdsourced brainstorming web app that allows people to gather fresh insight and ideas from marketers and other innovators, from a distance. As founders of UpHouse, Alex and Kiirsten have also published their new book, The Proximity Paradox: How to Create Distance from Business as Usual and Do Something Truly Innovative, which encourages the audience to ask hard questions about how they work, how their businesses are structured, and why they routinely find their creativity at odds with what’s asked of them as executors and stewards of the bottom line.
