VIP Speech:
Looking Past the CTR, Likes and Shares - Why "Big" Creativity is Coming Back.
Jonathan has been in the advertising industry since 1996, when he led the launch of a portfolio of sites to generate interest for large consumer companies. Over the last twenty years, he has driven performance through search engine visibility, ad buying, social presence, email and audience partnerships. Since the launch of Google and Facebook, marketers have become obsessed with metrics rather than material. This methodology is akin to the coupon-writing of the early Madison Avenue, and has led to trends such as click bait and fake news.
With the broad-spectrum view of an affiliate, Jonathan has identified what makes a great campaign and delivers the best ROI: creativity. With Nike's Kaepernik advert, IHOP's IHOB, and Amazon's Jurassic Park stunt, agencies and creative directors have found their mojo again. In this talk, we'll look at why inspiring your audience is more important than competing on clicks.
