What are some of the current trends or challenges in the advertising and art industry?

The greatest challenge I see in the creative industry is the debate over data vs. pure creativity. Do we lead with craft or pure numbers? My answer: We're in a business of communicating with HUMANS. Let craft and instinct lead the way, then test, learn, and hone with data. It's too easy to let data alone lead us into boring, unemotional creative work. Let your best ideas thrive, but be willing to adjust and learn based on campaign data we receive.

Pros & Cons of the rise of digital media: Some advantages include increased connectivity, greater access to information, more engaging content, and greater opportunities for creativity. Digital media also eliminates the need for paper editions and daily deadlines. Some disadvantages of digital media include exorbitant costs, lack of durability, isolation from the environment, internet crime, security issues, social isolation, too much work or work overload, diminishing job opportunities, information overload and taking people away from nature. Digital media has revolutionized almost every aspect of people's lives. However, It is essential to consider the pros and cons of digital media when using it personally or commercially.

Advertising is not merely a form of art but an instrument that fosters the selling of products and services. My experiential perspective on current trends and challenges in the advertising and art industry is based on 5 main aspects: - First and foremost, getting digitalized is the new oil for any business. This means that advertisers and artists have to adapt to new platforms, formats, and tools, such as social media, video, animation & interactive design. - Getting vigilant about potential digital challenges such as data privacy, copyright, and ethical issues. - Many organizations and individuals are working to promote diversity and inclusion within the art world & to give underrepresented groups greater access and opportunities.

While many view the pandemic as a challenge, it has, in fact, presented unprecedented opportunities for growth in our field. One significant shift was the accelerated transition from desktop to mobile consumption. With people working remote & spending more time online, there has been a notable increase in digital users & consumers resulting in more ads to manage, content to produce, & new design opportunities. However, the sheer volume makes capturing attention more crucial than ever. Our team focused on storytelling & forging emotional connections, as a powerful way to cut through the noise Rather than being a hindrance, COVID was a catalyst for innovation & opportunity. Adapt & connect on a more human level & you will THRIVE!
