"COPYWRITING IN TIJDEN VAN AI"
THU 19/11 19:00
Followed by JEREMY VANMAELE
COPYWRITING IN TIJDEN VAN AI
Gebruik jij AI voor het schrijven van teksten, maar merk je dat wat je terugkrijgt weliswaar foutloos, maar ook een beetje zoutloos is? Thalisa en Arkasha werken allebei als journalist en copywriter en willen je helpen. Ze leren je wanneer je AI gebruikt voor een tekst (en wanneer je beter even zelf schrijft), hoe je goede prompts opstelt, maar vooral ook hoe je (AI-gegenereerde) teksten kruidt en garneert, zodat ze klaar zijn om aan je publiek te worden opgediend. Zo krijg je wél de enorme tijdswinst van AI, maar ook kwalitatieve, persoonlijke en pittige output. Tot dan?

"het witte blad"
THU 19/11 20:30
HET WITTE BLAD
Wat levert vastzitten je eigenlijk op?
Iedere creatief zit weleens vast. Je staart naar een wit blad dat leeg blijft. Je scrolt en ziet werk van anderen dat altijd beter lijkt. Wat je maakt, voelt misschien al even niet meer als iets van jou.
Meestal wil je er dan zo snel mogelijk uit. Je werkt harder, zoekt inspiratie, leest een stapel boeken over "creative thinking" of besluit het gewoon te negeren. Zo blijf je toch hangen. Zelden vraag je je af wat vastzitten je eigenlijk oplevert. En net daar zit vaak de sleutel.
In deze talk ga je zelf aan de slag. Je ontdekt wat jou tegenhoudt, en je gaat naar huis met een eenvoudige oefening die je blijft gebruiken, telkens je vastloopt.
Ik werk al vijftien jaar in creatieve bureaus en coach vandaag creatieve professionals en teams. Want ons vak is te mooi om je erin vast te voelen.
Geen slides, geen creativiteitstrucjes. Wel pen en papier, en stilzitten doen we ook niet.

"INCLUSIVE MARKETING"
Inclusive Marketing: Rethinking Who You Reach
THU 17/09 19:00
Followed by GLADYS FERRO
Inclusive Marketing: Rethinking Who You Reach
There are many misconceptions about inclusive marketing. Does it mean reaching everyone? Is it the same as ethnomarketing, pinkwashing, or whitewashing?
In this session, Hamza Ouamari breaks down what inclusive marketing actually means — with clear examples and practical insights. He introduces five actionable principles you can apply immediately, from language and representation to power dynamics and context.

"KEEPING IT G"
How to guard your personal brand when everybody tells you what (not) to do.
THU 17/09 20:30
An intimate yet in-depth masterclass on personal branding and the art of reinventing yourself on your own terms.
Gladys takes you inside her creative process: how ideas evolve from culture to concept to content. But more importantly, how you stay true to yourself while navigating the constant noise of opinions, expectations, and algorithms.
How do you protect your vision when everyone has something to say?
What do you do when the algorithm goes quiet?
And how do you keep showing up without selling yourself out?
And is there even a strategy for that?
No sugarcoating. No get rich quick schemes. Just real talk, sharp insights, and an honest conversation. And probably an anecdote about a rapper and a capri-sun or two.

DALILLA HERMANS
What does it take to stay creative when the world pushes back?
Next Wednesday, Beamstreet Studio hosts Creative Defiance – How to protect your creativity when the world pushes back, a special Creative Talk with Dalilla Hermans.
In this intimate session, Dalilla opens up her creative process: how ideas grow into books, performances and paintings, how she protects them, and how she keeps creating in the face of resistance.
Expect an honest look behind the work, and plenty of room for questions, reflection and conversation.
A rare opportunity to meet the artist behind the work.
