Poets And Plumbers And The Future Of Advertising

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.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Very interesting look at the future of advertising.

After all, he is credited with coining the term "phygital," which describes the increasing connection between the physical and digital world around us. Weil strives to bring what he calls a "total brand experience" to such clients as American Express, the U.S. Army and Microsoft.


It's one reason he was selected to serve as a judge for this year's Project Isaac Awards. In that spirit, Weil was asked to share his thoughts on invention. Interestingly, he expresses a desire to completely reinvent the agency structure from being execution-based to being growth-based. And he offers his thoughts on the difference between creativity ("inspired") and invention ("brave")...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

The future of agencies is all around "brave invention."

Digital Marketers Are Facing a Crisis That’s Costing Them Billions

Digital Marketers Are Facing a Crisis That’s Costing Them Billions | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The marketing industry has a crisis on its hands. Most marketers don't know how to successfully craft and execute a digital strategy or measure ROI, according to a recent study. This is the marketing skills gap, and ninety percent of marketers say their team suffers from it. So what can they do?
 
The problem isn't that the marketer's role has fundamentally changed in the digital era. Rather, the technology they're expected to use is continuously transforming. Meticulous data management, stellar content and an optimized cross-channel approach have become expected. Unfortunately, many managers at agencies have a hard time keeping up.


"The Future-Proof Marketer in 2015," a new guide from Grovo, explains how organizations can educate a new kind of marketer—one with a keen sense of how customers interact with brands, content and products. These are the skills the guide covers in detail....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Agencies and marketing organizations need a new strategy to deal with the digital skills gap. The report "The Future-Proof Marketer in 2015" is recommended reading. 9/10
