### **Tuesday, october 17 6:00 - 8:00 PM  price modern | 2604 sisson street, baltimore, md 21211**

 

Great ideas seldom come from sticking to the script. They’re spontaneous… unpredictable… and unexpected. They arrive unannounced and often from the unlikeliest of inspiration. Great ideas can’t be planned. They *can* be facilitated.

What if you could borrow time-tested techniques from improvisational theater, not to make an audience laugh, but to generate the differentiating ideas that make your marketing stand out? What if you could remove barriers to on-the-spot creativity and make rapid-fire idea generation a standard operating procedure?

[In this AMA in the PM session, ](https://amabaltimore.org/ama-in-the-pm-improve-your-marketing-with-improv/)Josh Golden, President and Chief Creative Officer at Yes&, has ported his improv training to the world of marketing and advertising. He’s helped his team of extroverts and introverts alike learn how to see the possibilities in any scenario, to embrace the incongruous, and to welcome the twists we so often resist. In this hands-on and on-your-toes session, Josh will provide specific techniques you can use to get—and stay—unstuck.

Don’t worry, he won’t put you on the spot to do improv in front of strangers. And if he does, it’s to improve your marketing performance.
