As a Copywriter in the advertising and marketing industry, having good ideas is the foundation of my day-to-day. But for many organizations, good ideas save lives.

Starting Saturday, 11/14 and for one week, I’m going to donate ideas to Idea Aid – the world’s first online global brainstorming benefit. In addition, Critical Mass will harness its creativity for the cause through flash-brainstorms.

Critical Mass is signed up. Will you participate too?
