Serious Social 17/10/2017

October 17, 2017

Keeping in line with keeping things fresh at IF, we’re giving 60 Second Social a shake-up. It’s now called Serious Social. Sometimes, there’s just too much news to fit into sixty seconds.

The second tweak to our news format is that we’re going to be interviewing members of the team to talk about the subjects of their blogs. You can read them, or hear us discuss them, straight from the expert’s mouth.

This week Sophie, one of our Account Execs, and Fabian, an Account Director, will respectively be looking at emoji inspired music playlists, and Facebook’s game-plan for VR, helmed by our MD, Colin Jacobs.

Lock creative and plans earlier in the year, use Q2 and Q3 to find winning hooks and formats, and use AI to build CPM and ROAS scenarios. You turn Q4 from a chaotic bidding war into a planned portfolio with clear risk and upside.
