Cool hijack of

Ogilvy www.ogilvy.com/
do100. Unexpected and
well done.
From @thebrandbuilder
There a maturity of work. It’s not like
the old parlor tricks that used to win

As a result, most clients get real

perhaps they questioned in the past.

If we all take the first
step together, that is a
real movement.



Will.i.am, Producer, Entertainer, Technology Advocate @ McCann Seminar

what happens you.

the context for meaning.

Sir Ken Robinson @ Ogilvy Seminar
Women are never
portrayed as funny.
They’re caring, emotional,
etc. But never funny. It’s

women are funny.
Period.

organized in a
seamless way.

commerce and creative
expression in Hollywood is out
of balance right now. Hollywood
is producing arguably the worst
product in a decade.


Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO, Dreamworks @ The Cannes Debate
iPad should have been called
the MePad. Everyone of these
tablets are a reflection of who
you are. I can tell so much
about you just looking at all
the things on your tablet.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO, Dreamworks @ The Cannes Debate
Governments and
corporations fear all
this [social networks].
We need to strike more
fear in them.
Patti Smith @ Grey Seminar
Patti Smith has
demonstrated how much
poetry there is in rock’n’roll
and how much rock’n’roll
there is in poetry.


@barbarahauret
The marketing world is
global, but the
consumer is local and
needs to be engaged
and activated locally.

wiring existing things
in new ways.

owned by the
companies. At best, it
is co-owned with
consumers.

they will defend it.




Paul Bulcke, CEO Nestlé @ Publicis Groupe Seminar

far, I'd like to recommend
some rethinking of how
the cases are presented.

Sir John Hegarty, Worldwide Creative Director, BBH @ BBH Seminar
We always - hopefully - have
embraced difference.

The social web rewards
difference. Difference starts
the conversation [...] Social
networks rewards fame and
fame builds participation.


Sir John Hegarty, Worldwide Creative Director, BBH @ BBH Seminar
The problem is the
power of inertia.

an ad.
From Akestam Holst Seminar
People complain about
Twitter, but compared to
the average conversation
at the Gutter Bar it's
f***ing Proust.

could just assume that if
your thing is actually
good people will blog and
tweet #titaniumjudging.

@iaintait
Great digital ideas
require a “hacking

on its best moment.
