"Expect to see more awards ceremonies for thinking and doing, and fewer accolades for simply making an idea come to life."
The Won Report, the annual global guide that ranks agencies based on the number of creative gongs bagged at headline industry bashes, last year collated results featuring nearly 4,500 pieces of work. Inclusion in the publication is prestigious, a sign that creativity remains a very powerful discipline within our industry.
Yet something is changing. A great piece of work can still wow consumers, but being creative for creativity’s sake is no longer the be all and end all. The shift from push to pull marketing is making this so. Thanks to the boom in personal media, people are much better placed to seek the information - and brand relationships - they desire while ignoring a cascade of unwanted communications.

Sponsorship was once viewed as something of a badging opportunity, in particular within the broadcast arena where a brand ident might top and tail an ad break and little more.
But sponsorship opportunities have evolved to become so much more creative these days. This is in no small way thanks to the fact that digital technology now allows for clever sponsorship activity to span many channels, from social to mobile and video.
