Problem:

So it turns out that every piece of communication created during the last 12 months is in fact, Direct. If it’s creating a one-on-one connection, it’s Direct. If it has a call to action, it’s Direct. If it doesn’t have a call to action, but you still do or feel something, it’s Direct. If 100Billion people did a thing, it’s direct. If someone looked at it with their eyes, it’s Direct.

Lots and lots of conversations about ‘the modern call to action’.

 

Results:

An amazing Day 3, full of heated but healthy discussion where a room full of really smart and creative people finally agreed on a shortlist, where everyone felt heard and all can be proud of the final list.
