ADVERTISING IN THE PHYGITAL AGE

BROADCASTING SUCKS

“WE DIE”

We die.

You will never hear those words spoken in a television ad. Yet this central fact of human existence colors our world and how we perceive ourselves within it.

AS WE KNOW IT”“THE END OF ADVERTSING

it’s just

Many years ago, advertising was made of different kinds of bold “statements”. Every single part of every single ad was created to amaze the World. But, as we know, all the good things come to an end.

Mad Men advertising has survived just a couple of decades.

Then something changed.

AUDIENCE HAS CHANGED“ ”

Most likely this is a well-paid, City professional in its revolutionary weekend.

Most likely tomorrow they’re subscribing a joint life insurance. Or booking a cruise for two.

Most likely it’s way easier and profitable to work on their micro-moments,

instead of grouping your very audience into a shapeless supercrowd.

How Storytelling Affects the Brain

NEURAL COUPLING A story activates parts in the brain that allows the listener to turn the story into their own ideas and experience thanks to a process called neural coupling.

MIRRORING Listeners will not only experience the similar brain activity to each other, but also to the speaker.

DOPAMINE The brain releases dopamine into the system when it experiences an emotionally-charged event, making it easier to remember and with greater accuracy.

CORTEX ACTIVITY When processing facts, two areas of the brain are activated (Broca’s and Wernicke’s area). A well-told story can engage many additional areas, including the motor cortex, sensory cortex and frontal cortex.

“PRODUCTS MIGHT CHANGE, MARKETS DO.” $21.8bn ad revenue blocked

in 2015

Online advertising is under the microscope, thanks in large part to the rise in ad blocking. The use of ad blockers continues to rise across Europe — 22 percent of U.K. adults online use a blocker, according to IAB/YouGov’s figures released today [1 mar].

So has programmatic trading helped perpetuate the issue? Programmatic for online display has been an exercise in polishing a turd. We’ve tried to sex up something that was fundamentally broken. It doesn’t matter how you buy it or phrase it. If it’s still something no one ever responds to, what’s the point? Whether I’ve bought this turd by cash or credit card, it’s still a turd. You can give me as many fancy tech presentations as you like. But to make it sound more sophisticated than it is, the myth that’s been perpetuated is that people need to get involved with it, because if they don’t they’re not sophisticated marketers. Whereas in many ways the opposite is true. If you fundamentally don’t understand what it is you’re buying, you shouldn’t be buying it.

ADVERTISING IS DIE HARD“ ”

“WHY?”

MARKETS DO,“PRODUCTS MIGHT CHANGE,

CLIENTS HA HA.”

“HOW?”

We are at a point where we can use the "consumer insight" available to us to serve prospective buyers well, or we can use it to harass them and haunt them like some spooky "ghost of advertising future". Getting the use of data right and applying the charm of genuine creativity seems to me to be the essential point here.

The people we seek to seduce don’t seem to like this much. To thrive, we need to concentrate on the true art of seduction. Be interesting, compelling and useful – or just really damn beautiful.

Outside of the programmatic bombardment, where the algorithm rules, it’s possible to build touchpoints around brands that people actively want to be a part of.
