Michael Farmer just explains in 2023 what i predicted in 2008. Creativity is not about creating ads or awareness. It’s about solving business problems. Nobody in the industry understood it then, nobody in the industry understands it now.

Author and consultant Michael Farmer talks about ad agency decline, why selling creativity is a cop out, and why introducing AI to advertising is like pouring gasoline on a fire»
Very important and interesting interview by James Swift and Michael Farmer for Contagious.
«Listen, I think agencies are good… They have incredibly sophisticated capabilities; they’ve just never focused them in the right way.»
«[Burger King] is just an example of creativity run amok and then highly awarded by the industry for creative solutions that didn’t solve business issues. I think creativity really is divorced from business practices generally across the industry.
The focus on creativity is a bit of a cop out. It’s easier to be creative than it is to deliver growth. But if you do it [deliver growth], you get paid highly for it. The consulting firms get paid five times the cost of their people, agencies get paid two times the cost of their cheaper people. There’s a huge difference.»
«You’ve got to charge for the work, not the people,’ and I think that this is going to accelerate the need for people to convert from labour-based fees, to product-based fees. In other words, the direction that Mat [Baxter, CEO of Huge] went.»
«Creativity is about solving business problems.» (Amir Kassaei)

Creative agencies should hire more people with media background! IAT meetings are just a push and pull for budgets, and an ego fight.
I miss the days when agencies where integrated. Great ideas fail when the connections planning is done without understanding the big idea, the audience and focusing on just on performance.
I’ve seen media people consider a “campaign succesful” if they had a low CPM. But what if your audience is Gen Z travel intenders and you open you target to 18 and you end up having views from 45
Sure you get cheap eyeball, but what about conversions?
If you hate your media agency, do this.
Media agencies tend to be the wet blankets of great creative ideas.
They come up with some excuse of why we can't do that creative idea.
Now here's the trick. You create these two documents, you'll have no problems.
The first is the comms framework.
Do this, we call the creative idea, where you connect
The right moment with the right message with the right media.
This will help you understand what media has already been bought
And what messages you need to tell in that media.
Second thing is create a blueprint.
This is your production dollars. Divide it out between the assets you need to create.
Now, if you want to see examples of these two in action
That created great creative work,
