As an attention-grabbing ploy.
Have a group of people all with flaming red hair for hire. If you have an event and want to get some attention at the event and from the media, hire them to attend. The bigger the group, the more they will stand out.
Brainstorming is mostly seen as a group activity. Doing it alone is also very productive, often times more so. This will enable the best of both.
An app that everyone in the group uses. Each member has a given amount of time as decided in advance to brainstorm alone, writing and sketching his ideas in the app, each one as a separate “card”. When the time is up, all the members see all the cards. They go through them, and either vote on wich ones they like (probably on the last round), or just get new ideas from them. Then another round of private brainstorming follows. Do it until you all decide it’s enough.
