It's not often agency and client get to celebrate a decade of collaboration - especially after the first script you present is a cow sucking its own udder (yes, milk is that good!).

I didn't always work as a strategist... I have worn many hats in the marketing and advertising industry before stumbling into strategy. So, I had a particular perspective on strategists before becoming one myself from the vantage point of client, client service and researcher. Along the way, I always looked up to strategists as the "brains of the advertising industry", the smart people that would make comments in meetings that got everyone nodding along and the provocateurs that got away with saying cutting truths to clients that the client service people would never be able to utter. I always looked up to the strategists and so did my clients. 29 Jan 2019 Read more

You have a product or service to sell. You might be the brand manager, the brand owner, the advertising agency, or the graphic designer. But after some strategic work, the brief lands on your desk. Highlighted in bright yellow is the target market. It's aimed at millennials. Good grief. Now what? They don't see the world like my generation did. They're different. They're so weird. They socialise virtually and know how to text and drive at the same time! They're can't be human. Panic sets in. 16 Oct 2018 Read more

Brands are beginning to view engagement as one of the most important metric on social media. They're realising that the more they encourage their audience to interact with them, the more likely it is to lead to sales as well as brand loyalty. As brands focus on increasing customer engagement, they also need to know their audience beyond demographics. As such, audience insight should be at the core of every marketing strategy. 31 Jul 2018 Read more

Google is used by nearly everyone, every day, on numerous occasions. As Google has become part of our daily existence to find out information, directions and so much more, the data that Google accumulates is directly related to public opinion and interests. Essentially Google has become an extension of our own human behaviour. As Google collects all this data and search query information, being able to view this data can be exceptionally valuable from a marketing and research perspective. That is where Google Trends comes into its own. 20 Apr 2018 Read more

We all have, at some point in the past few years, used the phrase, "Siri, what's the weather like today?" or "OK, Google, I need the fastest route to work this morning." The ability to use your voice to get search results is, without a doubt, growing at a rapid pace, and for good reason - it's fast, convenient and just plain fun. It takes us back to the original and natural way we communicate as humans, through sound. 14 Nov 2017 Read more

The world's attention has been held captive by the omnipresent millennial generation with their 'quit my job and pursue my dreams' mentality.

Having been born anywhere from 1996s/early 2000s to present the oldest Gen Zers are anywhere from 17 to 21 years old. 10 Oct 2017 Read more

The digital advertising industry in Kenya has often been accused of being fixated on the future, discussing hypothetical solutions that aren't yet available locally. The most elusive of these marketing solutions is location-based mobile marketing. Location-based advertising hinges around the fact that wherever we go these days we always carry a mobile with us. And most of us quite happily share our location data with the various apps we use. The sales impact connected with a clever location-based mobile ad is every marketer's dirty fantasy. 3 Oct 2017 Read more

Considering that Johannesburg has a higher population density than Cape Town (12,272,238 Gauteng population vs 5,822,769 Western Cape, according to Census 2011 Data), this is particularly interesting and shows that Capetownian's are an active, social bunch. 29 Sep 2017 Read more

Raised in a digital, media-saturated world, millennials are digital natives who have grown adept at communication and the rapidly progressive nature of the digital landscape. Previously, the more advertisements you threw at the younger generation, the earlier you got them to purchase your brand. Now, reaching out to the younger generation requires a different line of thought. Yet, more than a few brands are in the dark when it comes to defining and creating positive online interactions that resonate with the millennial crowd, because traditional marketing methods simply no longer work. 31 Aug 2017 Read more

Being in the advertising industry, digital is often referred to as a media type: "Let's complement our above-the-line media with digital.” I can't help but chuckle a little inside every time I hear this phrase. The whole concept of above-the-line, below-the-line and through-the-line is a little grey to me; consumers don't compartmentalise their decision-making journey and neither should we as marketers. That is an article on its own; Google's Micro-Moments is a good read but that aside, let us get into the point at hand. 22 Aug 2017 Read more

It was really a daunting thought of coming back to the world of media, after spending a year away from the industry upon having my first baby. After all, a year away from media is like dog years, multiplied by seven. So much can change in a relatively short space of time. I gave all of my time and attention to my little one and blocked out, for the most part, social media and any advertising or media-related conversation, other than having the radio constantly playing during the day in an effort to not over-stimulate my baby with what was on television. How was I going to assimilate back into the media world again? How was I going to catch up with all the changes? How would I cope with a full work day under a fair amount of sleep deprivation (my boy wasn't, and still isn't sleeping through the night)? After spending every single minute of every day with him for the past 365 days, how would this affect me emotionally? Was I going to be bursting into tears at my desk, or in meetings because I miss him so much? These are all very scary thoughts that kept me up at night, for about a month before returning to work. 15 Aug 2017 Read more

The reality is that we used to live in a world where clients just wanted digital, they were not sure what it was, but everyone had it, so they wanted it too.

In 2016, when Google announced that they were releasing their Data Studio reporting solution to brands for free, there was suddenly a flurry of conversation around data, visualisation and real time reporting methods. Humans are visual creatures with at least 65% of people being “visual learners” according to Index of Learning Styles (ILS) Doctor, Richard Felder. It therefore makes sense that digestible visuals are generally more easily understood than rows and rows of raw data. 3 May 2017 Read more

I have been doing a lot of thinking since I first had the opportunity to immerse myself into the world of VR courtesy of Google Cardboard. I sat on a swivel chair in a dark office in London, spinning back and forth as aliens descended over a desert landscape. I was suddenly interrupted by a tap on the shoulder that jerked me back to reality "phone for you" I was almost upset that someone had pulled me out of this alternate dimension. How could somebody actually want me to attend to something in real-life when I was actually far away in a foreign land defending my space-craft? 17 Aug 2016 Read more

As the world becomes more digital (and we at Dentsu Aegis Network, become a 100% digital business by 2020), data management and innovation will be the most important areas to develop.

This is not just a trend as it has become embedded within every factor within the marketing communications sector globally. 15 Jun 2016 Read more
