2. What Situation has this created?
• In the 1990’s a campaign could have an 8-week
turnaround time. In the 2000’s, it sometimes
becomes 48 hours!
• This pressure has reduced the quality and the
creative thought process behind many
campaigns.
• High mobility of marketing & advertising
professionals leaves a lot of new inexperienced
marketers left behind holding the buck!
3. So What’s The Problem?
• Consumers and audiences often complain of ‘run-
of-the-mill’ campaigns
• Many companies end up tendering to the lowest
bidder, not neccessarily the most qualified.
• Due to increased job insecurity, many marketing
and account managers fear making radical new
decisions. ‘Don’t rock the boat’ mentality.
• “Passion” in marketers has been replaced by
“safety”
4. Insight: Everyone is Complaining!
• CEO: My ad agency and my marketing team are just as
bad as each other! Haven’t seen a “Wow” idea since
1995!
• Agency Executive: The client gives us such stale briefs. I
don’t know what to do with this!
• Media House: All these briefs are the same! I’m
supposed to be entertaining!
• Experiential Agency: How can I deliver excitement when
the brief is so boring? They’ve given me nothing!
