Poets And Plumbers And The Future Of Advertising | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
It seems like advertising is facing its Judgement Day.

Advertising is not going anywhere, but like every industry, disruption comes... and it comes fast. Many thought that the ad business became disrupted as social media's popularity was rising. It turns out that we're facing the mainstreaming today of smartphones and now Facebook (which, actually, started out ten-plus years ago) that is causing the major waves today.

The other week, the 4A's hosted their Transformation conference in Miami. That gem about Facebook and smartphones? That was only one of the many great nuggets that Rishad Tobaccowala (Chief Strategist, Publicis Groupe) brings forth in this panel discussion about the future of the ad industry. Rishad is joined by Rob Norman (Chief Digital Officer, GroupM) and Scott Hagedorn (CEO, Annalect), and this is a highly intellectual and pragmatic look at where - exactly - the industry sits. It's an important conversation for all of us to watch and think about.
