Gina Lazaro, Vice President, Brand Management, Writing at Newell Brands, believes everyone has the power to be creative. “We want to encourage people to harness that power and share their creativity far and wide.” Lazaro said the ‘Let’s Get Creative’ campaign demonstrates the brands’ investment in instilling creative confidence and celebrating ingenuity by breaking down the barriers that keep people from getting creative like fear of judgment and having the right tools. “The SXSW festival was only the beginning of our exciting mission to equip consumers with the tools and encouragement they need to confidently share their gifts with the world.

The brand partnership highlighted that writer, actor, and producer Kaling understands the importance and challenges of creative expression. The Hollywood personality said tapping into creativity is something that she does daily. “It’s been fun for me to partner with Sharpie and Paper Mate to help others expand their definitions of creativity and show them what they’re capable of with some encouragement and the right tools. It was so fulfilling to share my creative tips and tricks with others seeking inspiration at SXSW.”
