Media Meeting Creative Academy
Christian Kurz, Insight Director of Emerging Markets, Discovery Networks, EMEA:
Species – A user’s guide to young men
Discovery Networks has completed a study of more than 30,000 men in 21 countries and consulted some of the world’s leading experts in male behaviour. This groundbreaking research has revealed how 21st century pressures have caused men to enter a new stage in their evolution. Their lives are now more complex than ever before, and as result men are under increased pressure to deal with their changing role
Adrian Holmes, Executive Creative Director, Y&R EMEA: Don’t forget to write
Mike Haas, Media consultant, Senior partner, The BCI Group GmbH & Co. KG, Germany and Wofram Tech: 1 to 1: It’s an emotional thing
“…Advertising’s traditional and trusted friend is still the most used medium…its still an emotional thing…but radio is also quietly retooling for future multi-platform media needs…”
Dr. Dietmar Schantin, Group Director, WAN IFRA: Love story of print and digital publishing

Creativity in the post-digital era
We are now living in a post-digital era because digital is now mainstream. It’s no longer a niche nor ‘add-on’ but a fundamental part of how we do things everyday. And that means thinking differently about the way we approach ‘digital’ ideas.
Serge Fenenko, Managing Director, Novocortex, Netherlands
Upload Cinema: Messing with the Brand
After Amsterdam, The Hague, Cannes and Kaiserslautern, Upload Cinema comes to Portorož. Upload Cinema is a film club that takes the best web videos to the big screen.
In Portorož, we will show you “Messing with the Brand” – one of the best programmes of Upload Cinema, screened on the Cannes Lions festival. The subject of “Messing with the Brand” is unauthorized, banned and spoof advertising. After the screening, you will better understand how ads become viral and how online videos can become advertising.

MEDIA AWARDS JURY AT THIS YEAR’S GOLDEN DRUM

How will you judge the works? What are you looking for in it?
Let me quote a Green Day’s song “Well I, I just want to see the light/ And I, I don’t want to lose my sight/ Well I, I just want to see the light/And I need to know what’s worth the fight”
What are your criteria for a good campaign?
In general, I think a good campaign should fill the good old R.O.I. formula: Relevance, Originality, Impact.
How would you define a bad campaign?
Another quote, this one from Mad Men TV series: “I’m in the persuasion business and frankly I’m disappointed by your presentation”
Advertising is obviously changing fast lately or as we say, it is under reconstruction. Into what?
In my opinion, advertising “as we knew it” has already turned into something that may be called “persuasion management”.
And how will it look like in the next five (10, 20) years?
Advertising turned from a “Madison Avenue” into a “Wall Street” kind of business. I’m not a futurologist, but the biggest change may happen when any major advertising group will be owned by Mainland China shareholders
Why is there so little awarded (creative) advertising seen in everyday life?
In the past maybe that happened because some agencies were working on “made for awards” campaigns. Today I think it’s because some campaigns are well targeted to specific consumers’ segments. Apparently, we are not in the “mass-age” anymore.
And why all we see is sales-promotion, no-brand-building, pushy-brainwashing? Or do I have a wrong opinion?
You are right. That’s probably because most agencies don’t consider the fact that each individual can be exposed to a huge amount of not relevant commercial messages per day. But that may be an “inconvenient truth” for the advertising industry. After all, the business is about increasing the demand of communication activities, no matter if that will lead to a “commercial messages overload”. We are told “consumer is the king”, but I think the industry doesn’t show enough respect to his majesty. As far as I know, there’s not any consumers’ representative in any of the major industry’s festival juries. Am I wrong?
