Building Future Demand

Today it's never been clearer that Performance advertising-- forever linked with the DTC start-up media darlings of the past five years-- is the cool kid on the block. At the same time, mention the word brand building to your CEO and you're likely to be sent to the land of misfit toys . In fact, in his book Post Corona, professor Scott Galloway went so far as to declare the death of the brand age, saying that algorithms, user reviews and convenience all make the old fashioned notion of brand irrelevant today. But.... is all this an accurate view of the world? Will the drug of performance marketing get brands to the future margins and consumer loyalty that longevity requires? To help us answer that question, Lauren Livak and Peter Crosby spoke with John Denny, VP of eCommerce & Digital Marketing for CAVU Venture partners. John is a veteran of brand building, performance advertising, ecommerce and everything in between.
