description

Above is a talk I made for the Integrated Marketing Conference in Cape Town, entitled Learn, Unlearn, Relearn. The talk takes you through a brief history of advertising showing what has changed, what is new, and what has fundamentally remained the same. It then shares some tips and advice on how to help make sure your work remains relevant in today’s ever evolving world. I gave the talk with Chris Gotz and Luca Gallarelli, both from Ogilvy Cape Town.

manipulate an audience to continue or take some new action.”
