Show Highlights
“Brilliant creative,” Frohlich says, “pushes cultural boundaries… drives true emotion,” stirs and motivates people. And that’s true in any advertising channel, digital, programmatic, or traditional. That’s also true across digital channels like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube — and for Digital Out of Home (DOOH) billboards.
“We've forgotten the power of creative to drive outcomes.”
― NICOLAS BIDON, CEO, XAXIS
Frohlich gives real-world examples of creative executions that used ground-breaking technologies and were met with enthusiasm and accolades. He gives pointers on how creative agencies like the one he leads can work with programmatic advertising experts to make campaigns more effective for all. He and Bidon say how they can bring massive technological innovations, like dynamic creative optimization (DCO), to the mix.
“Brilliant creative can literally move people. It can move society.”
― MICHAEL FROHLICH, CEO, OGILVY U.K.
Creative, like data, targeting, and technology, are key ingredients with the power to drive outcomes for marketers, Bidon says. Ultimately, he and Frohlich agree, it’s all a little bit “like magic.”
But it’s also real: The combination of great creative that’s optimized along with the right targeting to the right person on the right device at the right time drives real ROI.
“Data scientists are from Mars and creatives are from Venus.”
―NICOLAS BIDON (discussing how each side sees the world)
