Jon Mitchell (Spotify), Mike Nutley (new media age)
William Owen (made by many) & Giles Rhys-Jones (Ogilvy)

Cial Turner The Case Against Advertising
Steve Taylor (Aegis Media) & Jonathan MacDonald (JMA)

The new consumer sees straight through advertising dishonesty: they expect integrity, not a glossy film of glitter. What can agencies do to create real consumer value and enable conversations?

This passionate session presents two sides of the same coin, exploring what the industry might look like once the dust settles
