Leadership Campaign Media Roundtable

Shutterstock Stage

Media is in the midst of a creative renaissance. Like the walls of Jericho, technology and evolving consumer behaviour have crumbled the walls which once stood between creative and media. Success today is derived from thinking and acting different. Insiders look at digital delivery; the evolution of newspapers & magazines and what it means for brands and how public opinion is shaped; the democratisation of content production, who’s hot, and what’s next.

Best Piece Of Advice Ever

NewGen Stage

We were at Creative Social Paris in 2010, deep in the Marais huddled around the legendary Jim Haynes, who’s been holding dinner parties at his modest Parisien atelier for the past 35 years when someone asked “What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given?” Jim responded with a piece of advice we try and remember every day: “If you do something for someone forget it immediately. If someone does something nice for you, never forget it."

In this session we will be asking some of the creative leaders from the jury what's the best piece of advice they have ever been given (and by who) and finding out the impact it has had on their career and their creativity.

Shutterstock Stage

The days of owning your music collection, car, house and even dog seem to be coming to an end as the sharing economy takes hold and streaming becomes the primary means of media consumption.

The panelists will look at how advertising plays its role in the new sharing and streaming economies and the implications for brands of this shift to access over ownership.
