The Positive Provocation Agency, positively provoking growth for our clients and our people #GrowFearless
About us
At Wavemaker we believe there is always a better way to grow. We know that growth models of the past will not serve the future. Established approaches and traditional thinking are being exploded in every sector, in every market. But exceptional growth requires uncomfortable change – and this change demands courage, from our clients and from our people. That’s why we’ve built Provocative Planning, a way of working powered by our spirit of restless enquiry in pursuit of better outcomes. It rejects traditional linear planning in favour of a modular approach, fusing machine learning and human intelligence in a unique way that gets the best from both. The three growth modules in Provocative Planning – Unlock, Maximize and Transform – provoke growth at different speeds, for today, ongoing, and for tomorrow. Positive Provocation empowers our people every bit as much it does our clients. It inspires us to be well-informed, careful listeners with the confidence and knowledge to ask tough questions. We become more confident, more courageous, more capable. When we positively provoke, we Grow Fearless. We shape consumers’ brand decisions and experiences through media, content and technology. Wavemaker’s Provocative Planning is fuelled by the world’s most powerful consumer decision-making data. This means we know where and how you can win customers. The intelligent insight this provides feeds our world-class precision capabilities in every area of our business, from planning and activation, to our integrated practices such as ecommerce an Our business is to support, consult and execute the making of these decisions. We bring together data, creativity and platforms to help the best brands in the world make the futures they want by making better choices today. All our people, processes and technology are united through our focus on understanding, accelerating and optimizing purchase journeys; making them more satisfying for consumers and more effective for our clients.

Well we asked and you answered - Generative AI it is followed closely by Nostalgia Core ! So watch this space this week as we dedicate it to everything you should know in the Gen AI space, answer questions on whether AI will really take over media jobs (yes procurement people we are looking at you) and also take a deepdive into the skills we should be honing to meet the AI wave. Plus don't miss out on our CSO Tammy Wilson-Schultz piece on Friday that looks at what Gen AI won't do for you in media (Because we will still need the humans after all) #genAI #PositiveProvocation #mediaandAI #MachineLearninginaction
Instead of kickstarting the year with some thought piece on media trends, we thought why not ask you smart people what you think might be the trend that shakes up media in 2024 ? Let's see what you think and then next week, we will publish that trend piece, but also reveal the results of this poll. #2024MediaTrends #whatdoyouthink #positiveprovocationinaction 😀
