Gordon MacSween of Captive Media: How digital out of home can reach ‘unreachable’ millenials

More About Advertising

There seems to be a feeling these days that if advertisers are going to reach that super-elusive young, male audience they have to use the latest technology and trendiest advertising media to have a chance of getting their message across.

Processing creative: The difficult task of monetizing creativity in Adland.

Gods of Advertising

From a business perspective, “creative process” is an oxymoron. Yet, every agency has one. In the age of projects (vs. client relationships) the process looks like hours worked. PM’s and AE’s must estimate how many people to put on a creative project and how many hours they will spend doing it. With clients choosing agencies like restaurants and ordering a la carte off our menus, a neophyte might think it would be easy calculating the bill.
