The Creative Influencer
In our industry, we desire to leave creative fingerprints like celebrities leave handprints in Hollywood concrete. We are not driven simply by the delivery of ads but by the pursuit of influencing a social impact that outlives a 30 second television spot. In today’s world, a level of mass creation, experimentation and sharing has produced a new breed of influencers who express bohemian philosophies, disrupt status quo and will certainly make our industry sweat. Ultimately this challenge should only improve how we connect brands to consumers.
The importance of the consumer is really becoming paramount again where it maybe wasn’t for awhile. Since people are so readily able to express themselves and show what they’re feeling to to massive amounts of people it really does influence the establishment. Who knows where that will eventually lead. None of us do. So it’s really an exciting time to see who the icons of this new era will be – we’ll have to wait and see.
