ALEX BOGUSKY in LÜRZER'S ARCHIVE

Alex from CP+B

Some highlights of the interview (in my personal opinion):

"... since traditional advertising is dying, we are looking for more innovative
things to get the message through to the consumer."

"everybody's worrying about the end of the 30-second commercial, and
while i think that's coming, I think it's good news. I really don't worry
about it ... You'll need more creativity".

"Marketing today is not about who's biggest, has the biggest budgets, or is
number one somewhere - it's about who's got the "momentum" in a category. And
momentum, we think, comes from hiting consumers time after time, after time with
new and inspired messages."

About Festivals, Awards ... and Creativity "without a brief"



"Awards competitions are the last bastions against the intrusion of business, where creative people can lionise their "art" unconstrained by commercial considerations. Criteria for victory have now become eccentric if not esoteric, removed from the real world in which advertising is supposed to function and be commercially effective."

Well worth reading it.
