Campaign Chemistry

Day One Agency, Campaign US’ Independent Agency of the Year and PRWeek’s Outstanding Midsize Agency of the Year 2023, is hyperinterested in reaching and influencing the next generation: Gen Z. In wanting to delve deeper into how (and why) Gen Z consumes media, the agency recently partnered with USC Annenberg Center for Public Relations on a mobile ethnographic “Ask Gen Z: A Deep Dive into Gen Z’s Scrolls” study that provides how brands can reach Gen Z, whose attention is increasingly fragmented across different corners of the internet, at all hours of the day. Recorded from Cannes Lions, Day One Agency CEO Josh Rosenberg; its director of creative strategy Eli Williams; and USC Annenberg Center for Public Relations director Fred Cook discuss the generation’s changing media diets, their complex relationship with their feeds and how actively they’re reshaping the media landscape, along with happenings from the Croisette. campaignlive.com What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.

At Cannes Lions 2023, AI is the talk of the Croisette — and Yannick Bolloré is ready to embrace it. The Havas global CEO sees potential not just in the efficiencies the technology can create, but how it can transform creativity. Those who don’t learn how to use it will become irrelevant, which is why Havas has instituted mandatory training for its 20,000-plus employees on generative AI tools. Bolloré sat down with Campaign US at Cannes Lions to chat about AI as well as his strategy for talent, his vision for the future of creativity and entertainment and the appetite for client spending in a continually uncertain economy.Listen to this episode and subscribe to Campaign Chemistry wherever you get your podcasts. What we know about advertising, you should know about advertising.
