That seems to capture the spirit of your role perfectly! I'm excited, you are the first Chief Creativity Catalyst I've had the pleasure of constructively debating with. Love it!

This company is all about constructive debate. :) I think "Advocate" definitely sounds more professional than "Booster", but it loses the partnership connotation. Ok, I think I have something here: <b>Chief Creativity Catalyst</b>. A catalyst assists in and speeds up a reaction but the reaction <i>could</i> happen without it. Plus, it generally has a "making things happen" feel. What do you think? Hey, don’t worry about “overdoing” it. This company is all about constructive debate. :)

However, I completely understand 'promoter's' having negative connotations. How about Chief Creativity Advocate?

We want to be <i>partners</i> in creativity. To me, though, the word "promoter" has an unfortunate connotation. I think of a promoter as slick to the point of dishonesty, someone who works harder on the sale than the product. What do you think? Is that just me? What about <b>Chief Creativity Booster</b>, since that could mean "amplifier", "fan", or "promoter" (in the good sense)? Thanks for the feedback, Sarah. :)

I think enabler sounds a little passive, where a promoter of creativity is active - like you are! ;) I also feel that 'promoter' speaks about the includer in you as well.

A 'business' title that actually 'means' something. Nice work. I need to work on a title of my own now. I like it. A ‘business’ title that actually ‘means’ something. Nice work.
