A creative on a date with data
Was there ever a point in time when people weren’t mining and using information to inform their decisions and problem-solving process? I am planning to take you on a date with data trying to understand why, if it unequivocally underpins everything we do, data has created so much tension in the creative industries. Is data dictating creativity or is it a key driver for emotional, relevant and engaging storytelling? As is the case for every successful date, it takes two to tango. It’s not just creative thinking that needs data, data also needs creative thinking.

The decade of data-inspired creativity
Data has been the most disruptive thing to happen to the creative industries this decade. But with the 2020s just around the corner, what is next? So far, a lot of energy has been spent on increasingly sophisticated measurement, targeting and automation of marketing campaigns. In other words, driving more efficiency. Yet the biggest breakthroughs will come from using data to enable new kinds of ideas. And by using creativity to connect customers with data in ways that are less alarming and more charming.

Busting the influencer myth
How post-influencer culture is driving a new era of inclusive creativity Influencer has fast become one of the most toxic terms in marketing. Traditional media outlets don’t hide their contempt for this new breed of content creator; which has been fast reduced to a caricature of what constitutes an influencer.
Understanding of this diverse landscape of influencers is in danger of getting lost in this backlash. This talk will unpick the new wave of authenticity which lies at the heart of the influencer economy and the implications of the shift towards extreme honesty, from the emergence of ‘artificial intimacy’ to breaking stigma’s surrounding mental health and body image.
It will address how post-influencer culture will impact both brands and consumers and lift the lid on the new creative currency this new breed of content creator will bring.
