#LiveCreativeChat Recap
Summertime is the ultimate test of work/life balance. How do you get out and enjoy life in the sun without neglecting work? Well, maybe it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Instead of hoping to maintain the status quo while you have fun, use your summer activities to make your creative work that much stronger. Get inspired from what our creatives had to say in this month’s #LiveCreativeChat and take advantage of the daylight to have fun and get stuff done.

For us, staying active outdoors energizes us and keeps the creative juices flowing. Take it on the road, and by the time you get back from a long weekend (or week) of traveling, you’ll be feeling creative and curious.

During the work week, we’re taking our lunches outside and giving ourselves a chance to detach from our screens. Try it! In August, though, we’re planning on soaking up the daylight with our friends @CC_Chicago at Lollapalooza! Sunscreen, anyone?
A4: Eurotrip to Copenhagen, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Santorini, Mykonos and Athens #LiveCreativeChat

Camping – though it was in the desert so maybe I should’ve waited to cross that off until winter #livecreativechat
