My fist thought when I saw this article about the Ad was “What’s the correlation between Redbul and Prada and WHY?” But the article gave some interesting insight into the Ad but not really into the WHY #Ad

“After thinking more about the billable hour model, it became clear to Ariely that it also gets in the way of collaboration.   ‘Let's say I came to you and I say, “I want 15 minutes of your time”,’ says Dan Ariely. @danariely

"If there's a culturally relevant moment that aligns well with a brand, you press go." This afternoon we had the pleasure of welcoming our friends from @ad_association and @contagious to the Goodstuff stage to talk about "Trust and Fame" in the advertising industry, and the importance of both in the work we do. We started with an exciting deep dive into trust, thanks to @ad_association. Then, we broke down the biggest takeaways from Cannes in "Cannes Deconstructed," with insights from @contagious . A huge thank you to our fantastic presenters, Dan Wilks, Stephen Woodford, and David Beresford, and to all our wonderful clients who joined us to explore these important topics together. Now time for an aperol spritz we think... 🧡
