Reaching, breaching,
(and burning) boundaries

Mat Zucker,
Chief Creative Officer
OgilvyOne Worldwide, New York
(keynote on creativity at the
2010 Belgium Direct Marketing Association Congress)
Dank u.
          Merci.
(The rest of this will be in English)
1975
My brief:
Take on the challenge
of modern direct
Breaking boundaries.
Where do we start?
It’s not exciting
    to talk about
traditional direct...
It is exciting to talk about this
The new creatives don’t like our labels, silos
The new creatives are wired to do both brand and response
Customers are hungry for more than we give them
2009
An industry call to arms
at the US DMA.
