Hacker
#HMTT

“A hacker is someone who seeks and
exploits weaknesses in a computer
system or computer network.”
Wikipedia

Hack
=
To cut or chop with repeated and
irregular blows
Wikipedia

“Hacks, by definition, are more
effective. They take big complicated
problems that can be more easily
solved, whatever the solution takes.
As a result, they remove the gap
between the commercial imperative
and the creative solution.”
Gareth Kay, Founding Partner, Zeus Jones

“I’d argue that digital creatives have
evolved in a collaborative creative process
and work environment because they have
always had to hack solutions (you’re only
as good as your programmer).”
Bridget Jung, Creative Director & Editor at Adverblog

Growth Hacking
#HMTT

“Growth hacking is a marketing
technique developed by technology
startups which uses creativity,
analytical thinking, and social
metrics to sell products and gain
exposure.”
Wikipedia

“Growth hackers have a ….mindset of
data, creativity, and curiosity…
[allowing them] .. to accomplish the
feet of growing a user base into the
millions.”
Tech Crunch, September 2012

Maker
#HMTT

“Make something, anything and see
if it leads to an idea. It’s the
opposite process of having an idea
first and then spending ages trying
to make it. Be receptive, trusting,
and allow yourself to be vulnerable
to your own ideas.”
Flo Heiss, ECD, Dare

MAKERS

TroubleMAKERS

WE HAVE ALL BEEN BRAINWASHED

THE GREAT BRAINWASHED ‘MAKE
THE WORLD GO ROUND’ BUT NEVER
REALLY CHANGE IT.

WHAT SEPARATES THE
TROUBLEMAKERS FROM
EVERYONE ELSE?

WASTE NO TIME TRYING TO GAIN
THINGS LIKE ACCEPTANCE,
ATTENTION AND PRAISE.

I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more
No, I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more
Well, I wake in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin’ me insane
It’s a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother no more

FEAR

IT’S OKAY TO BE AFRAID

YOU CAN BE AFRAID AND
CONFIDENT AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU CAN BE AFRAID AND CONFIDENT
AT THE SAME TIME.

You can be afraid and confident
at the same time.

YOU CAN BE AFRAID AND CONFIDENT
AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU CAN BE AFRAID AND CONFIDENT
AT THE SAME TIME.

IF YOU’RE NOT WORRIED,
SCARED OR EVER-SO-SLIGHTLY
SHITTING IT, CHANCES ARE
YOU’RE NOT TRYING
HARD ENOUGH.

THE MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN
A CONFIDENT CREATOR MEETS
A CONFIDENT CLIENT.

THE CONFORMISTS ARE NOT
BORN, THEY ARE MADE.
LIKEWISE, THE TROUBLEMAKERS
ARE NOT BORN, THEY ARE MADE.
