A procurement professional described media as one of the oldest commodities in the world. But the fact is this over simplifies what is an incredibly complex and dynamic trading eco-system and the person that tries to commoditise media will invariable miss out on harnessing the very power media provides organisations - the ability to reach, engage and change the behaviour of the audience. So how do we unlock the value trapped within the media market and deliver the results for our brands and businesses.

Media & Media Advertising

The concept of the advertising agency is now well into its second century and while somethings have changed dramatically, there are still something that are exactly the same. While technology has had a huge impact in the 21st Century on the scope of work the agency undertakes, be it a creative, media, digital, content, PR or other, the fact is at the core it still relies on people and ideas. But how will the agency model evolve? Is it in-house, out-house, in-sourced or other?

Advertising & Agencies

Creativity and innovation drive business growth and are the foundation of much of advertising, media and marketing. But how do you foster these within your organisation, how do you apply them effectively to the marketing process and how do you value it or justify the cost when challenged? These are important considerations not just for advertising agencies, or their marketing clients, but for all businesses competing in increasingly complex and challenging economies.
