Should the ad industry stop trying to make high art and just aim for popular appeal? This debate has been raging since ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 published its March cover feature, “Why advertising should be more Mrs. Brown’s Boys and less Fleabag”. ±±¾©Èü³µpk10's Brittaney Kiefer, Maisie McCabe and Kate Magee unpick this debate and weigh in with their own opinions.
They also discuss a new Nike ad celebrating the strength of pregnant women, a ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 Pick of the Week, created by Wieden & Kennedy London. Speaking of that agency, what will the departure of its esteemed creative leader Tony Davidson mean for the business?
Plus, Uncommon Creative Studio recently took home ±±¾©Èü³µpk10’s Creative Agency of the Year crown. So what makes an Agency of the Year winner?
Later in the episode, legendary planner Paul Feldwick talks to Engine chief strategy officer Gen Kobayashi about whether advertising has become too “knowing” for its own good.
