Bridge the Gap Bringing Together Code & Creativity
Building advertising campaigns using traditional models doesn’t translate to today’s environment, where success requires listening, agility, and even - shock, horror - accepting failure as a part of the process. Creating effective marketing for the web, and developing big ideas that endure on digital platforms means bringing together people with diverse skills, who’ve usually grown up speaking different “languages”.
This new way of working is a challenge, requiring conversations and collaborations between people who solve problems in different ways. Coders are in the same room as creatives, clients are jumping in to ideation, even users and customers are getting their say.
In this session, we’ll share stories from the frontlines of “Art, Copy & Code,” Bringing to life the biggest challenges that we’ve faced working in modern, diverse teams, and what we’ve learned along the way.
