In a world with abundant computational resources where nothing is forgotten and where we are connected in pervasive, unexpected ways beyond our choice, it is resonable to stop and ask ourselves just what kind of world we hope to create.
what derek said. the 'short term' argument ignores the facts (a) sometimes attitudes and behaviors take time to coalesce and (b) sometimes results need time to accumulate before they can gain any velocity

yes - "It's about power" (which is about control)

"Yet, if a branding-driven ad does not deliver in the short-term, will rarely delivers in the longer term." - Name redacted. Are we sure about this? The discussion around short and long term efforts is overdue Short-term and long-term advertising behaves entirely different.
@BruceMctague A while ago I read an interview with someone (I can’t for the life of me remember who) who said: “Everything’s about money. Except money, which is about power.”
What drives companies or groups is less often about money than we think. It's about power. We should remember that a lot of people think efficiency is what drives companies. It’s politics. It’s power. It’s ego. It’s fear of change. So no. AI won’t take your job because it’s…
Everyone is getting addicted to doing things badly, quickly, urgently and cheaply. It's the default for almost everything and everyone. If I want something done well, and slowly, and to pay properly, it's a huge fight against the norm.
“The biggest problem you’re dealing with? The collective assumptions and beliefs shared throughout the organisation.” Bob Marshall
Quite bored of this tedious narrative. To take four: 1) Critical thinking 2) Reading/Writing 3) Maths 4) From all of the above, an imagination. I’m fairly sure each will still be relevant in 20,50, 200 years’ time. Whatever Harari, Galloway or others think.
Yuval Noah Harari: we have no idea what to teach young people that will still be relevant in 20 years

None.

@BruceMctague Super good point. We’ve come far from that.
This is traditionally known as positioning
“If you try to please everyone, you please no one.” This is why 'niching down' is such a huge unlock for startups and new products.

I’m not sure what the original ‘lesson’ was meant to be, but an important distinction - Nvidia is currently one of the highest valued *stocks* in the world. It’s not in the top echelon of biggest ‘brands’ in the world.
NVIDIA got to be one of the biggest brands in the world without relying on 60 sec emotional, award-winning brand ads. There's a lesson in that for everyone.
@BruceMctague Stats say they are as good as last season's team at this point. Record is certainly better. True test will come in March.
One of the biggest conundrums for Planners is knowing universal insights unlock the greatest potential for the greatest number, but to use them you have to frame them in a way that a creative team or client won’t recognise them as cliche and reject them outright.
Over on LinkedIn "This technique is called 'demonstration'..." I can't do this any more. It's like having to watch people discover fire.
Shorter copy is only better if it is better written. Long copy is only a task to read when written poorly. Copywriters, real copywriters write to make things interesting and engaging, not longer or shorter. Word counts only matter to readers when the words written are boring.
