🌟 Top Ad Agencies and Their Signature Styles 🌟 Do you think signature styles are defined by the top work of an agency and that this can become a silent criteria for their selection over time in pitches and otherwise?

‘If you are not confident about creativity why are you here?' In an agency ecosystem dominated by self-serving jargon, the sharp edges of an honest question are so often missing in marketing. It is typical of Richard Huntington, Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer at Saatchi & Saatchi UK, to not only ask the important questions but to have the guts to slice and interrogate the answers in their full complexity. Even when the answers might not align with what the industry wants to hear. In this article, Richard explains how to make mundane moments matter and the power of honesty in marketing.

As creatives, we're caught between two worlds. We're drawn to the thrill of innovative ideas, but we're also bound by the practical realities of brand needs. Our job is to merge artistic expression with functional requirements. It's a puzzle we love solving, and the outcome is always unique. I've lost count of how many times we've had to reimagine a campaign to fit the brand's vision while staying true to our creative instincts. But that's what makes it so fulfilling. Here are a few of my favourite campaigns that have stuck with me over time. https://lnkd.in/dhs7jppY

Some great examples to learn from!

For Australian creative agencies, I think we all need to do better at proving the efficacy of cut-through, ambitious creative campaigns to spur our market on. I’d say the average is fairly low in Australia for the standard campaign, versus a market like the UK or the US where the competition between brands is fiercer. There’s a big sea of sameness here amongst brands; our biggest hurdle is proving that we need brands to rise above it. Psembi Kinstan, DDB Group Australia

Man, I love seeing cool work in the world. Check out this stellar activation from Uncommon Creative Studio on behalf of British Airways. So much goodness to unpack here. The human insight around the emotion on the faces of those approaching their destination, or simply taking in the splendor of the world, from high above. The stories those expressions tell. Wonder. Anticipation. Awe. Beauty. The twist in turning the camera on those humans versus the the now-all-too-common practice of pointing our cell phones out the window toward the skies. The relative lack of branding in which the full British Airways moniker is never seen in totality, but only in pieces. An approach that manages to catch your eye and attention even more. The clever OOH deployments -- from traditional billboards to street-level activation to pairings across roadways. Even the name given to this installment of the broader brand campaign: "Windows" All of it. Splendid. 👏 #advertising #brandmarketing #marketing #OOH #brandcommunications

NEW TRARE CAMPAIGN - Val Morgan commissions cinema research (via Fiftyfive5 part of Accenture Song) that finds a single cinema ad delivers the same brand fame as 10 digital spots, or 9 BVOD sports, or six linear TV spots. Val Morgan Managing Director, Guy Burbidge unpacks the results – and why it's time for brands to look beyond surface-level metrics like reach and CPMs focus on the most crucial metric for marketers seeking long-term commercial success. "Famous brands make a lasting impression by establishing a strong emotional connection with consumers—they're not just liked; they're adored. These brands are also instantly identifiable and distinctive, they stand out in a crowd. They generate buzz, sparking conversations among both consumers and competitors. There's a sense of familiarity with these brands, making consumers feel like they've known them forever, even if they haven't. Finally, these brands convey a clear and universally understood identity; everyone knows who they are and what they represent."
