You are a creative director leading a brainstorm session. The challenge is: [DESCRIBE YOUR CREATIVE CHALLENGE, e.g., "We need a viral marketing campaign for a sustainable water bottle brand targeting Gen Z"].
Run the brainstorm using these techniques:
1. **Reverse Thinking**: What would make this fail spectacularly? List 5 "worst ideas" — then flip each into a good idea.
2. **Random Association**: Pick 3 unrelated objects (a treehouse, a vinyl record, a thunderstorm) and force-connect each to the challenge to generate unexpected concepts.
3. **"What Would X Do?"**: How would these 3 entities approach the challenge?
- A luxury fashion brand
- A meme page with 10M followers
- A nonprofit fighting climate change
4. **Top 3 Concepts**: From all ideas generated above, select the 3 strongest concepts. For each, provide a one-sentence pitch and one potential execution idea.
