🌟 Yesterday marked the official launch of Inclusion Impact 🌟 - our approach to planning and activation, aimed at identifying and engaging diverse audience groups. This initiative was driven by a passionate team across the agency, recognising the vital role we play in promoting inclusion through advertising. With a 7% decline in representation in advertising over the past year - particularly among people of colour, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent communities - and one-third of consumers actively avoiding brands that fail to prioritise DE&I, the need for inclusive advertising is more urgent than ever. Inclusive advertising not only reflects societal realities but fosters acceptance, breaks down barriers, and contributes to a more cohesive society. 🤝 🌱 Companies that balance short-term goals with long-term, purpose-driven strategies tend to outperform those that don’t. By focusing on inclusion, we're not only making an impact now but building the foundation for sustainable, long-term success. As proud members of Conscious Advertising Network, we were thrilled to have them join us, reinforcing the importance of representation in media and how we, alongside our partners and clients, can create healthier media environments 💚 We also hosted breakout sessions with PinkNews, BA Diversity Media (UK & EMEA), and Channel Factory, who are all working towards creating a more inclusive media landscape: ✨ Pink News shared insights on inclusive planning, challenges for specialist media owners, and the power of collaboration in creative. ✨ BA Diversity Media demonstrated how their channels engage with Black British culture, showcasing their Creative Checker tool to avoid stereotyping and cultural bias. ✨ Channel Factory emphasised the responsibility of businesses to combat misinformation, champion responsible journalism, and ensure brand safety without unfairly excluding diverse audiences. The path to creating a truly representative media environment is continuous, and we're excited to keep pushing forward 🚀 #DEI #RepresentationMatters #InclusiveImpact #Advertising #BCorp

Generative AI will completely transform the advertising business. Its ability to produce hyper personalised advertising cheaper and faster, means that brands and agencies are already investing hundreds of millions embedding AI into their businesses. And this is just the beginning. The big question though is not if Advertisers will be using Gen AI, but rather how responsible they will be with it. If they fail to use it responsibly the Risks are enormous. Major fines from regulators, and even worse losing the trust and connection with customers. Join my guests & I on November 5th as we will discuss how brands & advertisers can avoid these pitfalls. My guests will be: Thomas Laranjo, Group CEO of Total Media. Dr Alexandra Dobra-Kiel, Innovation and Strategy Director at Total Media, who also sits on the Advertising Association's AI Taskforce. And Annabel Gillard, who works at the Intersection of AI & Behavioural Science and is a leading voice on AI Ethics. Sign up with the links below. Even if you can't join on the day but are interested do still sign up to attend and you'll get notifications about the recording.

Research from Statista found that 63% of professionals are planning on using AI for influencer marketing in upcoming years. However, there is still uncertainty surrounding where human influencers are needed, and where they should be supplemented with AI. Lea Karam shares her thoughts in The Media Leader 👇
Lea Karam: “While AI influencers are engaging, they lack the emotional connection that human influencers naturally provide. Brands need to find the right balance, using virtual influencers where functional signals are more prevalent and human influencers for deeper emotional engagement.” Influencers have become integral to marketing strategies and according to Goldman Sachs, the creator economy is estimated to double in size by 2027, with virtual influencers playing a large role in this growth. Lea Karam delves into influencer marketing in The Media Leader, explaining why brands must be strategic when choosing between human and virtual influencers: https://lnkd.in/e-a7m3NX #influencers #virtualinfluencers #AI #marketing

Human + Machine = Augmented Intelligence 🤝 Is the hype really coming to an end? According to Gartner's Hype Cycle, generative AI has just passed the "peak of inflated expectations" and is now heading toward the "trough of disillusionment." We remain anything but disillusioned. We understand that AI allows us to analyse complex data in real time and make smarter decisions. But it’s the powerful combination of human expertise and artificial intelligence that drives our clients' success. 📈 As part of Mediaplus Group, we have access to a host of AI solutions, however, Mediaplus CEO Matthias Bruell explains why human collaboration is more important than ever and it’s our people who master AI and feed it the right data that remain key to unlocking its full potential. 💡 Read the full article in the comments 👇 #AI #AugmentedIntelligence #HumanLearning

A really interesting piece from Stephen Lepitak and Ian Darby at Creative Salon Worldwide on the ever-changing age of branded content. 💡 Our Consulting Director Behave, Lea Karam, shares her view on the changing viewing habits and behaviours which have led to the evolution of ad-funded content. Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRd43cTU #brandedcontent #content #behaviour #advertising
The thing I love about branded entertainment is that it can be such an interesting ideas-led part of the marketing mix. The idea of celebrities attending their own funerals for a Channel 4 series to help promote the post-death services of Co-op really does make me smile. 💀 ⚰ 🤣 And with brands such as Xbox, The Coca-Cola Company, TUI and eBay showing how audience engagement can be done in long form in recent years too - while winning awards - the next evolution of this advertising opportunity is going to be fascinating to watch. "Increasingly people's time is spent in environments that are entertainment-driven and probably not ad-funded... shifting onto streaming platforms and into gaming environments - social places where traditional advertising isn't the most effective way of reaching people." says Dan Wood at EssenceMediacom UK. Writing for Creative Salon Worldwide, Ian Darby also speaks with Total Media's Lea Karam, McCann London's Tommy Smith, Sara Ali and Ogilvy UK's Johnny Watters Link to the full piece in the comments below 👇 #marketing #brandedentertainment #channel4 #advertising #celebritysendoff #ebay #xbox #cocacola
