TALK 
ABOUT 
What 
is 
creaKvity’s 
worst 
enemy 
Why 
provocaKve 
art 
is 
good 
for 
businesses 
Why 
most 
adverKsing 
is 
crap 
–

“The 
real 
fact 
of 
the 
maSer 
is 
that 
nobody 
reads 
ads. 
People 
read 
what 
interest 
them, 
and 
someKmes 
it's 
an 
ad.”
If 
we 
have 
known 
this 
for 
such 
a 
long 
Kme, 
why 
is 
most 
adverKsing 
sKll 
crap? 
Why 
do 
so 
many 
people 
think 
it 
is 
just 
painful 
and 
intrusive?

Aldrig förr har de potentiella kontaktytorna 
mellan en idé och en konsument varit så 
många och så olika. Och dubbelriktade. 
Vilket gör att idén om den heltäckande 360- 
kampanjen tål att ifråasättas. Idag kan en 
handfull välkoordinerade kontaktytor skapa 
större effekt än ett försök till “bombmatta”.

Digital 
vs 
Magazine 
11% 
ads 
versus 
50% 
ads 
S6ll 
people 
find 
the 
magazine’s 
ads 
less 
intrusive 
and 
annoying. 
It’s 
lack 
of 
“product 
development”
“The 
buying 
of 
Kme 
or 
space 
is 
not 
the 
taking 
out 
of 
a 
hunKng 
license 
on 
someone 
else's 
private 
preserve 
but 
is 
the 
renKng 
of 
a 
stage 
on 
which 
we 
may 
perform.”
THE 
FUTURE.
The 
future 
is 
already 
here, 
it’s 
just 
unequally 
distributed.
"Wireless 
telephone 
and 
telegraph 
circuits 
will 
span 
the 
world. 
A 
husband 
in 
the 
middle 
of 
the

will 
be 
able 
to 
converse 
with 
his

We

Volvo 
Cars 
is 
one 
company 
from 
Sweden, 
and 
the 
headquarters 
are

Gothenburg.
Another 
company 
from 
Sweden: 
Mojang 
who 
makes 
MinecraQ.
Recently 
the 
company 
Mojang 
which

@ulrikagood 
Hard 
for 
grandpa 
to 
understand: 
How 
a 
company 
that 
makes 
something 
like 
MinecraQ 
can 
be 
valued 
to 
more 
than 
Volvo 
Cars.
@martner 
Hard 
for 
my 
son 
to 
understand: 
How 
a 
company 
that 
makes 
something 
our 
family 
don’t 
even 
own 
(cars) 
can 
be 
almost 
as 
valuable 
as 
a 
company 
that 
makes 
something 
half 
of 
our 
family 
loves.
Unsold cars in Russia
Unsold cars in the US
Unsold cars in… whatever.
I don’t own a car. I have access to cars.
Business 
has 
always 
been 
about 
adding 
value. 
About 
opening 
up 
opportuniKes. 
Today 
most 
value 
is 
added 
through: 
SoQware 
Service 
design 
User 
Experience 
Design 
Data 
insights
Not 
owning 
a 
car, 
but 
to 
have 
access 
to 
different 
cars 
with 
an 
app, 
is 
opening 
up 
new 
opportuniKes 
for 
me 
and 
my 
family. 
And 
for 
businesses. 
And 
this 
is 
only 
the 
beginning.
Please 
steal 
this 
idea 
(I 
don’t 
have 
Kme 
to 
execute 
it)
This 
makes 
markeKng 
having 
a 
potenKal 
to 
transcendend 
”markeKng”. 
The 
product 
can 
contain 
the 
markeKng. 
And 
the 
markeKng 
can 
become 
the 
product.
TECH DRIVEN IDEAS
BUSINESS DRIVEN IDEAS
HUMAN CENTRIC IDEAS
To 
make 
great 
adverKsing 
or 
innovate 
in 
a 
human 
centric 
way 
you 
have 
to 
really 
understand 
other 
people’s 
emoKons, 
hopes, 
dreams 
and 
fear 
(or 
at 
least 
your 
own). 
You 
have 
to 
be 
able 
to 
have 
an 
open 
mind. 
A 
tolerant 
view 
of 
the 
world. 
And 
you 
have 
to 
combine 
that 
with 
an 
ability 
to 
analyse 
data.
Data 
help 
us 
understand 
a 
world 
that 
is 
increasingly 
complex.
But 
if 
we 
are 
narrow 
minded, 
we 
will 
not 
accept 
the 
data 
insights, 
and 
we 
will 
make 
the 
wrong 
decisions 
anyway.
Here 
is 
a 
story 
about 
two 
data 
points. 
Data 
point 
1: 
Ultra 
sound 
detecKon 
Data 
point 
2: 
StaKsKcs 
about 
psycological 
health.
Data 
point 
1: 
Ultra 
sound 
detecKon: 
”you 
will 
have 
a 
slightly 
disabled 
child” 
Data 
point 
2: 
StaKsKcs 
about 
psycological 
health: 
”your 
child 
will 
have 
slightly 
bigger 
chances 
to 
be 
happy” 
Why 
did 
only 
data 
point 
1 
register 
with 
this 
family?
WE SOMETIMES MAKE OURSELVES 
STUPID TO FIT IN.
WE NEED DATA TO UNDERSTAND THE 
WORLD. AND WE NEED SOMEONE WHO 
CHALLENGES OUR VALUES TO THINK 
CLEARLY ABOUT IT.
