October 11, 2019 42. How can marketing change a company’s culture?
The Racing Post was set up in 1986 to provide expert insights to fans of racing. But how does it approach marketing today? What does the future look like for the publisher? And how is this digital transformation linked to the internal culture of the business? Louise Agran, CMO at the Racing Post, gives Andrew Stephen and Amy Cashman the lowdown on the business model at this heritage brand, the pros and cons of a very engaged audience, and the work she’s done to embed new values – ‘postmarks’ – in the business.

October 06, 2019 41. Are marketers realising the full potential of AI and machine learning?
Can we use machine learning algorithms to better understand consumers? How they truly feel, simply by looking at their face or reading their Tweets? If not, why not? Dr Natalia Efremova of the University of Oxford talks about the current research, the potential of AI and machine learning, and the power it might have not only in marketing but in achieving social goods. She also touches on why it’s so difficult to get sophisticated information from algorithms, how to avoid bias, and the importance of education in order to get this right.

September 29, 2019 40. What is the value of creativity? with Perry Nightingale
How can we measure creativity? It's a big question, and a big challenge - but one that WPP's Perry Nightingale is keen to answer (with a little help from Oxford University and the Future of Marketing Initiative). In the second part of Andrew and Jane's conversation with Perry, we hear about Perry's creativity school, infusing creativity into an organisation, what has changed in the last 10 years (and what might happen next), along with Perry's views on how advertising agencies can find, encourage, retain and empower creative people.

September 23, 2019 39. Why does the adtech market need to change?
Kirk McDonald, CMO of advertising and analytics company Xandr, talks to Jane Ostler in Cannes about his views on the digital landscape – how digital advertising is analogous to the food supply chain, why Xandr’s mission is to ‘make advertising matter’, and how a great user experience can go hand in hand with effectiveness for marketers and efficiency for publishers. Kirk believes we can use technology in smart ways to deliver highly personalised ads, but he argues that the whole industry should endeavour to make things simpler, reduce the jargon, and acknowledge that data isn’t everything.

September 15, 2019 38. What is the future of automotive? with Mat Heinl
There is a lot of disruption in the world of ‘mobility’ – but what does that actually mean? What does it take to launch a ‘mobility’ product? How will marketing teams encourage consumers to adopt new platforms and travel methods, including autonomous vehicles? And what do these innovations mean for traditional car and transport brands, other types of businesses, and society at large? Mat Heinl, CEO of Moving Brands, talks cars, sandwiches, horses and ice cream vans with Andrew and Jane.

September 09, 2019 37. Why does eBay advertise on TV? with Gareth Jones
There is a lot people don’t know about eBay, says Gareth Jones. In order to bust some of those myths – around things like delivery and newness – the online shopping platform is spending more and more on traditional media channels like radio and TV. Telling these stories and reaching a wider audience is helping them achieve longer term success, he explains, and complements their digital advertising approach nicely. So how does it work? How can “digital” principles be applied to things like radio and TV ads? How is it all measured? And what’s next for eBay?

September 01, 2019 36. Can a machine be creative? with Perry Nightingale
Technology and data now sit at the heart of marketing, and AI has quietly embedded itself in our culture. But how can we use it to produce adverts that make an impact? Why is human creativity still important? And what are the big questions we need to be asking about evolving technology... not just from a business perspective, but for society as a whole? In part one of a two-part discussion, Perry Nightingale shares his wisdom with Professor Andrew Stephen and Jane Bloomfield.

August 25, 2019 35. Can marketing make us enjoy food more? with Dr Cammy Crolic
If enjoying food makes us choose to consume more of it, then learning how to trigger greater levels of enjoyment could be a valuable tool in a brand’s repertoire. How can you encourage consumers to buy, consume and enjoy your products? What if they really think they won’t like the flavour combination? And why do choices around packaging – size, wording and related ‘content’ – matter? Andrew and Tara talk to an expert, Dr Cammy Crolic, to find out.

August 15, 2019 34. How can we make online advertising better? featuring Teads
How do you bridge the gap between creative and media teams to deliver more effective campaigns? How do you encourage users to actually watch a video ad on their mobile device? And how do you achieve mass reach without losing personalised, contextual relevance? These are just some of the questions Jane and Felipe discuss with Grant Gudgel, the head of Teads Studio in North America. They talk AR, AI, chatbots, interactive creative, user friendliness and the sound on/sound off debate, to understand how the industry at large can innovate to make online advertising better.
