Great Minds Morning Debate: This house believes that advertising has responded well to the Covid-19 crisis
AWStudios Channel
The impact of Covid-19 hit fast and hit deep. Our industry, often referred to as the canary in the coalmine when it comes to the state of the economy, saw dramatic falls in spend and experienced a complete change literally overnight in the way it had to work through the crisis. Within the space of three months, the UK government became the UK's biggest advertiser as health information became paramount and advertisers gave their full support to reinforce vital messaging to the public.

Craft & Creativity Pornrupted: What brands can learn from the adult industry
Creativity Channel presented by AMC Networks
Porn — the oldest industry in the world, yet pioneering through the ages. As the Internet's first real disruptive industry, it has catalysed the development of real-time credit card verification, video on demand, SEO and enabled broader bandwidth. It’s safe to say, what happens in porn, soon happens in advertising. And just as the conversation in advertising is focused on doing good, fair trade and woke-washing, a similar discussion has been raging for years in the adult industry.

Acceleration Channel presented by Acxiom
Brand suitability has become an important consideration for brands and agencies in 2020.

Why purpose doesn't matter. How to lead with the cool and bake in the good.
AWLearn Channel
The ethical elements of a product or service are rarely the only drivers behind people’s decision-making, in fact they’re more likely to be the justification. Let's be honest, as fantastic as Patagonia's social values are, they wouldn't sell half as many backpacks if their stuff wasn't top quality, and cool.

Based on her own experience, in this workshop founder of ethical ad platform Good-Loop (and one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 cohort) Amy Williams will explore how profit and purpose can be united, to build a brand that truly matters. We'll use the workshop space to discuss some of the reasons why consumers are increasingly looking for ethical and social alternatives when making their purchase decisions. We'll explore some tangible ways that businesses can successfully driven social change without compromising on quality, price or scale. We'll also look at some of the communities and movements that have shaped this idea of 'social business' over the last 10 years - from BCorps to Zebras.

The importance of executive eminence in the age of anxiety
AWLearn Channel
Great expectations were set for 2020, but in a little over three months the world had already been thrown into a whirlwind of uncertainty.

We’re living in an age of anxiety. It’s become harder than ever for consumers to make the right decisions – or even to know what do in the current climate and are increasingly looking to brands and their leaders for guidance and stability. However, simply responding on Twitter is not enough – brands need to become the change they are tweeting about.

Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World: Mind & Body
Community Channel presented by Facebook
As the country continues to experience unrest due to the pandemic, working women are struggling to balance their full-time career, family and personal wellbeing. Juggling these responsibilities while maintaining mental and physical health is overwhelming even pre-pandemic, and now it is practically impossible.

The pandemic has also led to a more stagnant lifestyle for many. Working women now spend more time sitting in their homes for most of the day with no commute, and with blurred lines between before and after work. Making healthier physical lifestyle choices is now harder than ever with the pantry a room away from the office, and less alone time between partners. Also, as people feel overwhelmingly stressed, many feel a desire to eat and drink more and exercise less. Katie will speak to physical wellness experts to educate attendees on how to improve their physical health, in a doable way, while balancing their career.

Great Minds in Conversation with Richard Curtis
AWStudios Channel
Beyond a formidable body of work on the Big Screen, Richard Curtis has devoted his life to fighting for those less able to fight for themselves. COVID 19 has taken over so many headlines, but our old challenges around the climate crisis, poverty, clean water access, all remain. So what does the future of fundraising look like? What role can society, companies and governments play in aligning their finances with their values? And how can we leverage this crisis to build back better in a post-COVID world?
