How do creative pipelines recover from COVID-19?
Will slow recovery and limited budgets stifle creativity in representation of diversity in advertising?
Can creatives make this crisis open new platforms and channels in the online world for creative work?
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, many advertising channels and brands were innovating with reflective representation in images and campaigns. How does the spotlight on equality, awareness of inequality and Black Lives Matter influence commissioning and brand campaigns in future?
The UK hosts the leading creative cluster in creative advertising and reflective representation in advertising encouraged by organisations like Channel 4.
About This Event
From content creation through to campaign delivery, every single function in the creative process has an impact on how communities see each other and see themselves.
Across the course of the day our speakers will discuss and debate challenges, successes and setbacks looking to present practical steps that the entire media industry can commit to to truly champion inclusion.
Each session will be complemented by a Q&A with by The Unmistakables to ensure that delegates have ample practical ‘takeaways’.
