Nassau, Bahamas - ArtOvation with TaDa is a weekly one-hour radio show covering Issues, interviews and introspection related to the developing and emerging arts and entertainment industries of the Bahamas. This Saturday, June 11th at 8am tune in to ArtOvation live on Star 106.5 FM www.star106fm.com Our next guest is Royann Dean: A whole-brained woman in a left-brained world Rather than seeing the world as black and white, Royann thinks “what if it were red? How would that change our perspectives?” It’s this whole-brained thinking that has informed her unique way of seeing things. Royann is the principal of the method group (tmg*), a marketing strategy and design agency based in Nassau, Bahamas. Royann studied marketing at The College of The Bahamas and The University of Georgia before obtaining an MA (Hons) in Design Management from University of the Arts London. Royann worked in advertising in New York, then in branding and marketing research with Heineken in Nassau, Curacao, Amsterdam and the Cayman Islands before starting the method group in 2004. Royann is passionate about branding, design and the creative economy. Her thesis on brand storytelling highlighted the connection between design, creativity and financial growth in the retail industry. As an entrepreneur in the creative industry, she believes that design and creativity should work together to make a difference to business and the Bahamian economy like they do in many other countries. It’s her goal to drive that conversation. She is not a fan of cats and loves music, art and design.
tmg* talks On Thursday, June 16th The Hub will play host to the final discussion in the series. we invite all interested parties to attend! The creative economy is an important discussion because: - This topic is being pushed and discussed at UNESCO and CARICOM as an acknowledged way to grow the economy. - Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, St. Lucia, Dominican Republic have plans and began investing in the development of the creative sectors (architecture, innovation/ entrepreneurship, design, arts, film, etc…) up to ten years ago. The Bahamas doesn’t have any published plan or indications thereof. Why not? - Younger, smarter more savvy voters may find this important in an election year - Clients generally don’t understand the value of creative services and so don’t see them as having real, professional worth
