It was the second time I'd heard someone say it in as many days... and in public! Admittedly, I was in NYC. But, I've seen it in magazines too. I fear it will make it's way into general business usage. Already people sometimes use it outside of marketing to mean generating ideas to solve problems. In the land of the creatives it's a much more common term. It's sort of like branding, only with concepts.

It just doesn't flow...obscure slang, to be sure, but used in a specific area in the creative. Ugh to obscure language in any form.

I have not heard it before. The word itself does not communicate the definition well. Sarah, have you found the use of concepting to be prevalant? I have not heard it before.
