For t...Re Mr. Re: Happy Thought<BR/><BR/>I was just clowning. For the most part I agree with you. I personally wouldn't like to think I have a chip on my shoulder and I believe a time will come when great idea houses and digital experts will work together in more harmony more than we do now.<BR/><BR/>I do however believe that there is a difference between a great broadcast idea and a great interactive idea. Look at The Lynx/Axe effect for example: poster/press/tv really funny ways of telling you that if you spray the lynx you'll attract hot women. That works fine in a one-way medium but the lynx.com has things like dating tips and wooing films, even a "hot babe" detector for your phone because the statement of 'spray lynx, get girls' isn't actually true and when a viewer can actually get under the skin of a brand it's clever broadcast ideas can quickly look superficial and "addy".<BR/><BR/>We are also competing with a generation that is now used to making their own entertainment/content and sharing their life online. I was one of the last generations to grow up with computer game consoles and mobile phones as an invention; for people younger then me they have always been there and is something they use in the same way that In use colour TV (which is still something my Gran finds amazing as it was invented in her lifetime).<BR/><BR/>I don't intend to take over the ad world (not that I could if I wanted to). I do feel we, as digital as it is now, run alongside adland playing a slightly different game. Whether its the right one or not is too early to say, but it's certainly exciting times. I'm not sure what you'd call a "shift" exactly, but when places like Fallon and W+K start looking for digital creative directors I start thinking that this could go somewhere. You've only got to look at CP+B's through the line work to see how a strong, fancy looking website supported by clever traditional ad placements can create a much more immersive experience for a user than if we are left in separate rooms.<BR/><BR/>I hope this doesn't sound like I'm trying to pick a fight because I am not, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "it will just mean the ATL guys will be getting the digital ideas to execute their idaes." If you mean that the digital agencies will just do whatever the ATL agencies tell them to do I think you might find they have something to say about that. But I guess we'll see :)]-[appy Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306899311730477283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-85525789260307369982008-10-08T15:51:00.000-06:002008-10-08T15:51:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.]-[appy Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306899311730477283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-65001283847897599342008-10-08T15:16:00.000-06:002008-10-08T15:16:00.000-06:00The idea is central to all aspects of advertising ...The idea is central to all aspects of advertising - that's a given.<BR/><BR/>How to execute it and the medium is what can make a good idea truly great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-9022048443315007372008-10-08T11:47:00.000-06:002008-10-08T11:47:00.000-06:00re happy thoughttv might very well go digital in 2...re happy thought<BR/><BR/>tv might very well go digital in 2010 but there still needs to be a strong creative idea rather than a fancy looking website.<BR/><BR/>I see no shift in traditional v digital places, it will just mean the ATL guys will be getting the digital ideas to execute their idaes.<BR/><BR/>Thats what annoys me about the digital guys with a chip on their shoulder (not implying you) but you will not be taking over the ad world because a great idea is a great idea in any media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-47505503464910862182008-10-08T10:35:00.000-06:002008-10-08T10:35:00.000-06:00TV is going digital come 2010.TV is going digital come 2010.]-[appy Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306899311730477283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35498698.post-31418874709470565662008-10-08T10:27:00.000-06:002008-10-08T10:27:00.000-06:00Digital is pish.
