Three forces are driving this change.First, most CMOs and CEOs want to acquire more customers with less investment. Second, great brand ads dont create a great brand experience. Finally, too much of the money being spent by marketers is easily ignored as attention is harder to grasp than ever.We believe you cant grow a brand if people dont notice what you create. People dont see the expected. People dont see the predictable. The familiar is too often forgotten. Which is why we create The Never Before.The Never Before is the most elusive of ideas. The one you never saw coming, but you will never forget. The kind that turns the expected on its head. The Never Before doesnt have a template. There are no guidelines. It will make you nervous, good nervous. But if it gets made, it will make everyone else jealous. Yes, people will have concerns. But thats how you know youre close.
