Why “Adventurist” consulting?  Can’t we be more efficient on the phone or meeting at our office?

Some of our work absolutely takes place in your office and on the phone.  However, the “secret sauce” to our creativity and amazing results lies in our ability to draw incredible inspiration and creativity from our clients by being outdoors doing Adventures.  
 Study after study PROVES that being outdoors helps us…

• Communicate better
• ​Be more creative
• Sharpen our problem solving skills
• Increase self-confidence
• Even boost our immune system!

Aren’t these the traits that you want for you and your team?
Here are the studies to back this up:

Outside: The New Science of the Creative Brain on Nature
Beautiful vistas and outdoor fun impact your brain in real ways, and the latest research is finally cracking exactly how—which means you're just trails away from becoming a better thinker.

• Restore Your Attention
• Activate the Imagination Network
• Awaken Your Sense of Awe
• Enter a State of “Soft Fascination”

ZME Science:  Outdoor Activities enhance creativity and problem solving activities
“...interacting with nature has real, measurable benefits to creative problem-solving that really hadn’t been formally demonstrated before,”

Prevention Magazine:  Want to be more creative?
David Strayer, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. "The human mind is heavily influenced by the environment we're in," he says. "It's not useful to become a slave to technology." Disconnecting from social media, cell phones, and computers restores your prefrontal brain circuits, which are associated with creativity and higher-level thinking.

Do I have to climb mountains or raft down rivers to work with Adventurist Inspired Marketing? 

NO!  Not every client who engages our services is interested in going crazy with adventures.  We know that jumping out of helicopters on top of a snow covered mountain is not for everyone. We also know that budgets may not always allow for big, crazy adventures.   However, we do highly encourage some sort of adventure OUTDOORS that will get your creative juices flowing, reduce stress, and foster communication. We custom-tailor every adventure to suit our client.  Some of our recommended “low key” adventures include:
​

• Kite-flying competition at a park or beach local to your office
• “Get muddy” events including tug of war, obstacle course, etc
• A bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge (or some other cool biking trek near you)
• Low (or high) Ropes course
• Volunteering at a kids day camp or special needs outing
• A campfire with s’mores

​
As you can see, not every Adventure needs to be crazy...but it does need to be outdoors.  Why? Because study after study PROVES that being outdoors help us communicate better, be more creative, sharpen our problem solving skills, and increase self-confidence.  Aren’t these the traits that you want for you and your team?
