The Hype Cycle

Our industry has experienced profound change in the past 5 years.

The structures and processes that guided us for the past 25+ years have begun to fail.

Both individually and organisationally, many of us are facing a new struggle:

RELEVANCE

This isn’t a prediction of sudden media collapse. TV and print aren’t going away.

Technologies & behaviours rarely die, they just evolve.

No-one died.

Consumers are connected. Happy to ignore our advertising.

If you want to work in advertising, you have to understand digital

- this is more true everyday

Challenging as this seems...

We’re living through the most interesting moment our industry has ever seen.

We have to figure this out.

So how to crack this?

In an industrial economy we focus on physical things. In an information economy relationships are built on knowledge & services. Positive interactions with brands allow consumers to make up their mind based on experiences, not messages.

So, that’s about it..Our industry has transitioned to

the post digital age.It requires new thinking and

different processes.Most importantly, digital is no

longer someone else’s job. It’s yours.

It’s not about consumersIt’s about us

It’s not about technologyIt’s about what we can do with it
