In our 12 Questions blog series, we feature interviews with someone from the crowdSPRING community. For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community \u2013 in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly \u2013 activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we\u2019ll take notice.<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019re very proud to feature Vinay and Asha (crowdSPRING username: Knifeonbutter<\/a>) today. Vinay and Asha live and work in Goa, India.<\/p>\n 1. Please tell us about yourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n We have traveled around the world, working in places as far and diverse as Fiji Islands and Dubai, not to mention all the cities across India. We now reside in Goa, dream beaches, sun,sand, coco feni, and like to pretend to work hard. Ideas fortunately , winning ideas save the day for us on sites such as yours. We just love crowdSPRING.<\/p>\n 2. How did you become interested in writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n We are both writers from the day we left college, and have worked with top 10 ad agency networks. It all started in school, when the teachers noticed we had a flair for writing, however, the idea lightbulbs started glowing, later on, after 3 years of hard, rigorous college education in disciplines as strange as physics and home sciences.<\/p>\n 3. Who\/what are some of the biggest influences on your writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n David Ogilvy for sure. He was the greatest at one time. We never studied literature, so <\/p>\n 4. Please tell us about your favorite projects.<\/strong> 5. What types of writing interest you the most?<\/strong> 6. When working as a team, what is your creative process?<\/strong> 7. What kind of on-line resources do you use?<\/strong>
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nwe can’t quote Shakespeare. We are more fascinated with Adworld writers, Paul Hegarty, and creators like the Saatchi brothers.<\/p>\n
\nOh, its a long list, right from brand names on your site to tag lines to hold your breath, selling a premium burial space in Trinidad and Tobago (seriously, and we actually did it – it was fun).<\/p>\n
\nAnything and everything, our niche is travel and we have a long running blog for a UK client.
\nWe also did some nice work on Indian destinations for a US travel company. Love doing brand names, tag lines too!<\/p>\n
\nRead the brief, sit under the hot sun, reach out for a cold beer, wipe the sand off your feet,
\nand go to sleep. Wake up with a day to go for the deadline and let the creative juices flow.<\/p>\n
\nNot much, except admiring the canners gold winners for their outstanding work – it’s good inspiration for us. We are sure there are tools to spinning and sharpening brand names and tag lines, but we never got down to discovering them – which is a pity.<\/p>\n
