Unknown Origins

Social media entrepreneur Csaba Dancshazy’s approach is based on validation, convincing someone else of something valid. To do so, he follows a process. He says, “How do I prove that this has any kind of bearing on the real world? How do I know that this truly does, in fact, represent what I think it represents? And so, now comes in yet another cycle of trial and error. If you're going to try something creative, anything creative, you're going to be inevitably going to places that you may not have expected. Being willing to go down that path as a part of the process is quite important. I obviously would never have gotten here, had I sort of kept banging my head against the wall in the direction that I originally started in. So being adaptive and being willing to adjust is definitely crucial.”

From Budapest to Harvard, Csaba Dancshazy blazed the trail to make sense of social media by building a social media analytic platform and practice at Microsoft, online consumer behavior at Wayfair, to founding D-Tag Consulting that provide expertise, analytics, training and custom consulting solutions that empower companies to build out and expand their ROI from social media analytics.

Founder and CEO of Unknown Origins, Roy Sharples, describes his manifesto to save the world from unoriginality by unleashing the power of creativity by having confidence in your ideas and never giving up on bringing them to fruition. It means creating without frontiers by seeing around the corners by embracing originality and making unique connections between disparate universes past and present to light the way into the future in search for the authentic and new by staving off false promises of easy gratification and immediate success within a world saturated with a consumer-led celebrity culture whereby everyone looks the same, and everything is for sale.
