How Will Art, Copy & Code Re-imagine Advertising?
In the 1960's, advertising went through a creative revolution that changed how brand stories were told.
Today, it's happening again. We're in the midst of a second creative revolution, this time driven by art, copy and code. A brand’s story is no longer just an ad, or a book, or a film; it can be just about anything, and live anywhere. From product design, to packaging, to advertising and beyond, everything tells a story about a brand. And these stories are living, evolving, fluid entities that we can interact with at all touchpoints - across mediums and devices, ads and apps, in both physical and digital worlds.
What do these new kinds of stories look like? We partnered with a few iconic brands and visionary creatives to find out. In this session, we’ll present experiments in ads, apps, social and mobile and that are reimagining advertising’s future.
