Vogel releases book on creative thinking

Thomas Vogel, associate professor in Marketing Communication and director of the Global Marketing Communication and Advertising graduate program, recently released a new book, Breakthrough Thinking: A Guide to Creative Thinking and Idea Generation (HOW Books), which features case studies with some of his former Emerson students.

A description of the book reads: “The digital age spurs many companies to hire creative types who will come up with ideas to stand out against the competition. But creativity is often viewed as a character trait rather than a skill to be mastered.”

Former Emerson students featured as case studies in the book are Brenna McCormick, MA ’06, who is also a part-time faculty member at Emerson and works at Mediaman in Boston; Noreen Arora, MA ’10, of IDEO in Boston; Christiane Schaefer, MA ’12, of Volkswagen Group China; Eric Rosati ’14, a freelance graphic designer in New York; and Amanda Mooney ’08 of Edelman Shanghai City.
