Memorable Quotes
"AIs will help dictate when to begin and end campaigns. Even the mix of content we create and also even the type of imagery we're using. And we'll also see AI begin to automate the timing and delivering of messaging. But technology such as like AI will also give us a new ability to measure as well."
"Outside of marketing of course, creative thinking skills are going to be needed to provide innovative solutions to some of the world's biggest problems."
"So whether your advertising or marketing promotes joy or whether it pulls at the heartstrings or whether it surprises people, or even if it enrages them, it just needs to make people feel something. And then I think if you don't feel anything, you don't do anything."
"Gartner predicted that 25% of customer service and support operations will use some form of chatbot technology by 2020 which was up from 2% in 2017."
"There's been a lot said recently about the death of advertising agencies, but I still feel there's a very much a place for agencies."
