WORK THIS GOOD CAN EVEN MAKE ALCOPOPS SEEM COOL I first saw this ad 24 years ago (TWENTY-FOUR!) and it feels as fresh on last watch as it did on the first. A TV ad for the alcopop ‘Metz’ from the much lauded and sadly missed agency, HHCL. https://lnkd.in/e7-UeVZU I’ve always been grateful to three people for teaching me, as a humble strategist, the true value of craft - Paul Jordan, Clare Donald and Chris Groom. How the right music, editing, casting, set or pacing can turn a brilliant idea into an unforgettable one. The dissolve transitions on this, the arri cameras...oh, swoon....I think this was al young, but someone might tell me otherwise. And while I'm swooning. That endline. That v/o. That beautiful pace. Oh, it’s a marvel. This ad is a masterclass. It bears watching repeatedly to marvel in the detail. Some call outs go to Enda Mccallion for the directing, Glassworks for production and finally the immenseness that is that alicia suszka-fielder voice-over.    And if nothing else, let us applaud a brilliant, empowering and inspirational client who could give an agency this level of licence to execute something so unique. Beware the other types of clients, my friends, whether the moon is fat, thin or somewhere in between. #creative #creativity #marketing #creative #agencies #agencyvoices #judders

I've been thinking about....the paradigm shift to #authentic learning experiences. Now, hear me out. I call out the #paradigmshift because providing authentic learning experiences for our young people is SO much more than mimicking real-world experiences. It's about building #relationships among the adults in a #school, #district, and #community that result in enlightened collaboration that INCLUDES how we can work together to create actual experiences for young people that impact the world around them. Left alone, teachers, at best, can create versions of real-life experiences. And, in some cases, teachers are pulling together what's needed to create these opportunities for our young people but..honestly...they shouldn't be left alone to shoulder the effort. If we empower teachers by providing the structures, processes, and incentives needed for deep collaboration across a community....well, just imagine what they can do? One simple example is shared here by Jayden Balbuena Valles - a new colleague I met via collaboration here on #linkedin. Jayden is a part of a film maker team in Santa Ana Unified School District who, as a result of the intentional collaboration of a lot of adults AND the determination of young people, is creating real-world products for real-world clients. Imagine the impact on #motivation when young people come to school to learn in this way. Imagine the impact on #chronicabsenteesism when THESE are the types of experiences awaiting our young people. Imagine how much more possible this type of design can be when every single one of us sees ourselves as a part of making it happen (aka this is NOT a "teachers should...." type of shift). Feeling brave? Share an idea below about how YOU (yeah, not "they" or "them") can become involved in making authentic learning happen in your community schools. There.

What can Pittsburgh's transformation teach us in Hamilton? Pittsburgh and the City Of Hamilton share a common history in their industrial pre-eminence in steel in the mid 1900's. Carnegie Steel, U.S. Steel, Dofasco and Stelco. Giants of their era. Dominant in their regions. Strategic employers. Philanthropic pillars. But the decline in the steel industry devastated both regions in the inevitable job losses, rapid decline of the local economies and urban decay. What happened next in both communities shared some early similarities in the slow pivot to education and health care. But in Pittsburgh's case far more progress was made. Our respective communities are in markedly different positions today. The reasons are many and varied and, in Pittsburgh's case the subject of a great deal of research and writing (and worth exploring if you're interested). Much harder to pin down are the reasons for our struggles. But whatever the reasons, we're at a cross roads (again). But this time we have in our grasp the potential to achieve and exceed what Pittsburgh has accomplished in the coming decades for reasons that PJ Mercanti and I touch on with Mike Fortune. Beyond on our remarks here, let me share what I see from my work in the area that leaves me optimistic about our region's future: 💪 The Oak View Group's investment with Live Nation Entertainment in collaboration with HUPEG in our City's key downtown asset, centered as it is on entertainment - particularly music and performance - will yield massive economic local economic impacts and not just in the infrastructure investment, but in ongoing retail and hospitality spend, employment and skills training, local procurement and international civic brand recognition. 💪 We're Canada's biggest small town. Our leadership in every sector is deeply connected. We know each other. Not always collaborative or high functioning - but possessing that potential. And OVG is the kick in the pants we all need. 💪 Our region is insanely well positioned geographically as the connecting node btw the GTA and the US market. 💪 Lets not forget about the City of Burlington right next door. One of Canada's most livable cities. Widely recognized as a jewel. Led by a future focused Mayor (Marianne Meed Ward (C.Dir.) and Council. And is itself on the cusp of massive infrastructure transformation in the coming years owing to the efforts of its largest land owner and developer Alinea Land Corporation whose proposed projects in Aldershot, Appleby and Bronte Creek will soon burst into public view offering the prospect of new amenities, a remarkable inventory of housing and a magnet for the retention and attraction of talent. Not unlike Austin Texas, we have a quirky, creative, disruptive, iconoclastic, irreverent heart. And with that the opportunity to lean into the creative industries in music, film, food, art and sports. Its now about execution and grit. We can do this. 🌟

Great insights. Thanks Gabor for sharing and Mr Cessario for saying. Assymetry in approach. Marketing’s challenge is super different company by company, product by product, region by region. You need to take a nuanced approach to what parts of tradition you inherit and apply and what parts of your plan you innovate based on your unique challenge today. You will need experienced human marketers to do this. AI can do a lot of the shit work to get there. New talent entering the industry can add insight and style. But there’s no way around the fact that you need at least one or two experienced disruptors like Mr Cessario or Gabor on the team. Go team #cannes2024 #liquiddeath #ABInbev

When is the right time to take the leap and go after your dream? Like falling in love and having kids and doing a shot of absinthe, there is none. Part 1 of my conversation with Farrelly Brothers movies producer Kris Meyer where we discuss the when’s and why’s of going after crazy dreams, and the effort it takes to get there. Hint: it ain’t for the faint of heart https://lnkd.in/ervNvuUV
