Written by Verity Hosken Fine, Senior Creative. Over the past year, getting ads made in the time of corona has led me to some interesting places via a succession of Zooms, Teams and live video links. The latest stop on my virtual world tour took me to a casting studio in Buenos Aires. As I […]

By Marc Nohr, Chairman We have incredible talent in the world of advertising. But we don’t always take care of it – and that includes ourselves.

Written by Marc Nohr, CEO Last weekend, a data company commanded the front page of the Financial Times for exploiting customer data.
