“SmartStorming really rejuvenated my team. It made us more excited about the idea-generation process, but most of all, helped me think of innovative new ways to approach my day-to-day business. I would recommend SmartStorming to any team that feels complacent, and needs a shot of idea caffeine.”
— Karima Hamamsy, Google Display Network Strategist

“SmartStorming has proven to be an invaluable training partner for Omnicom Media Group. As an organizer and a participant, I can testify that the techniques are easy to master and enjoyable to execute. We’ve used them internally for a variety of sessions, including revisiting topics on which we thought had been exhausted. SmartStorming has built up some impressive street credit within our organization, and we are always getting requests for their material to be brought in. We look forward to continuing to rollout their workshops across all of our agencies in the US.”

— Kim Plue, U.S. Coordinator, Learning & Development, OmnicomMediaGroup

I will definitely be looking for additional training opportunities with the SmartStorming team.”
