Once upon a time there were advertising agencies that offered clients a full range of services, being media and creative. Where the two were considered, developed, recommended and delivered together.  Then, in the last millennium, media was split off, and media and creative were often handled by separate and sometimes competing companies. Channel strategies, creative strategies, and connection strategies were developed by various teams, both in-house and outsourced. But increasingly these are being put back together with what is again called “full service” but is more likely an integrated offering similar to the one Publicis Groupe developed for their client Arnott’s with The Neighbour, which we have discussed here previously. But in this episode, we are going under the hood of the integrated offering to discuss how an integrated agency offering works with Publicis Groupe ANZ's Chief Media Officer, Imogen Hewitt, Chief Creative Officer, Dave Bowman, and Chief Data Officer, Maurice Riley.

No matter what you are reading, watching or listening to at the moment, everyone in the marketing, media and advertising world is talking about Artificial Intelligence – AI. Is it an existential threat or a tool to make us more creative, insightful, and effective? The discussion goes on, and the fact is that in many cases, only time will tell.  However, one area where AI is impacting performance right now is SEO. Google continues to be the dominant search engine in the global market, handling more than 90% of all search queries. However, the rollout of the Google AI search function has had some dramatic impacts on the user experience and the results for brands and media outlets, with some reporting a 40% incre

Kieran Antill is the Director of Brand and Marketing at Ne-Lo, and Ross Hastings is the Managing Director. Their agency, Ne-Lo, has its foundation in a gym of all places, where two people with wildly different backgrounds and perspectives, yet with a shared fascination with the challenges of modern business, met. Kieren, who was heading up the creative team at the late JWT and was at a point of exasperated disillusionment with the way agency business models stifled innovation and marginalised creativity.  Ross, an expert in the role of psychology in organisational leadership and culture, who was consulting and coaching executive teams and was frustrated by the lack of creativity in strategy and culture change. Both were expecting their first-born daughters, a handy catalyst to address these frustrations and build something they were proud to tell their daughters about. So, in 2018, Ne-Lo was born, and soon after, The Anatomy of Marketing.  Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/managing-market

Chris Walton, Managing Director, Nunn Media, has a long and successful career in media and back in November 2013 he was asked to provide his predictions for the coming trends in media. The result of which appeared in Mumbrella under the headline “How big data will transform media agencies”. Here we are more than ten years later to discuss how those predictions have aged over that time. A week is a long time in politics. It is also a long time in media. So imagine how media has changed over the past decade when it comes to transparency, negotiating power, collaboration and more.

James Greet is a long-time creative media leader and the co-founder of The Payback Project Australia, a specialist advisory working with Marketers, Agencies and Media owners to help plan a path to net zero by reducing & removing carbon emissions related to content creation and media activities, and in the process become a force for good. In business today there are a range of ethical and moral challenges. One that has particularly caught the advertising industry is its role in the developing climate crisis. An industry that drives growth could also be seen to drive consumption and, therefore, greenhouse gas emissions. This has come to a head recently with a campaign by Clean Creative, Comms Declare, and others to name and shame advertising agencies and comms companies that work for fossil fuel clients. When fossil fuel clients go to the market to select an agency, both sides come to the party: one side ridicules the agencies that pitch for the business, the other side justifies their position. Who is righ

Matt Newell is a partner and CEO of The General Store, a retail specialist agency that deals with strategy, brand identity, advertising, store design, and technology. When you think about retail advertising and marketing, what comes to mind? Loud, shouting, in-your-face advertising with massive price discount offers? This is the clique many are stuck with. But in fact, retail marketing is about building a destination brand, either online or in the real world, and optimising the customer experience from beginning to end, with the results of your work known almost immediately. Matt believes more marketers are realising that the same disciplines that build solid and successful retail brands are the ones that can build all brands in the face of a rapidly changing business environment.

Nathan Hodges, TrinityP3 Managing Director Australia and New Zealand, has spent the last decade assessing and designing agency rosters for clients around the globe. He recently noticed a distinct trend in the way bespoke agencies are being developed and implemented. Once upon a time, advertisers would appoint what was known as an agency, record, or AoR. This agency would provide most, if not all, of their agency needs. But in the age of technology and digital communications, those needs exponentially increased. Suddenly, marketers required a village of agencies to meet all their needs. Then, the bespoke agency arrived. And today, it is evolving.  Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/managing-marketing/id1018735190  Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/75mJ4Gt6MWzFWvmd3A64XW?si=a3b63c66ab6e4934  Listen on Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zb3VuZGNsb3VkLmNvbS91c2Vycy9zb3VuZGNsb3VkOnVzZXJzOjE2MTQ0MjA2NC9zb3VuZHMucnNz  Listen on Stitcher: https://www.stitche

Anton Buchner is the Marketing Strategist at Front Foot Marketing, Senior Consultant at TrinityP3 and widely known as the ROI Guy as he has built a career advising on measuring and optimising customer value to drive ROI. Anton has observed the explosion of technology in the marketing space and has seen increasing disconnection from proving that it increases customer value. While AI promises to have a huge impact on technology generally and marketing technology specifically, a revolution is happening in the MarTech space that will demand the attention of marketing leaders everywhere. And that is a process of detangling the tech mess many organisations find themselves in today.
