It’s nearly 30 years since the development of the web, which created the world’s biggest companies and whose business models were advertising based. Yet advertising was so much more creative before the web. What happened?
Maybe I should pitch a talk at Cannes Lions called. "How can we make some-what good digital ads" It would cover crazy stuff like - Why don't we use nice imagery - How about ads have an idea - Couldn't we use art direction to make them look interesting - Try using good copy?
