Why haven’t advertisers embraced the full potential of digital audio yet?

The Drum’s opinion editor John McCarthy gathered industry experts to take a detailed walk through the burgeoning world of digital audio to understand why advertiser interest doesn’t yet match consumer habits.

Tech for collaboration

Consumer expectations change. New channels erupt and disrupt. Audiences become more distributed across media. Clients demand more from their agencies. Agencies evolve and adapt. The marketing landscape is an ever-evolving sphere of influence, each impacting the other. The glue that ties everything together is best-in-class data, powered by technology to be able to build stronger connections and enhance collaboration between brands, agencies and creators, at scale. With further disruption ahead, agencies are figuring out how to differentiate – many looking to what is possible beyond media, creative and strategy – to build out their capabilities and position them for success to influence the always-on, digital world around them.

Cut the bullshit not the creative

The Drum sits down with Sarah Shilling, EMEA EVP at Porter Novelli and WACL member, to explore the new notion of leaving our egos at the door, for creativity regaining its confidence and how it’s reflected in the work at Cannes this year.
