Lisa Overall, Managing Director of Creatalytics, a company that is closing the impact gap between media and message and maximising return on creative investment, discusses the intricate relationship between brand performance and creative optimization. She explains the role of creative analytics in enhancing media effectiveness, and the constraints that can drive creativity.  In 1964, when Marshall McLuhan wrote “The medium is the message” there has been an on-going advertising conundrum – is it the content or the channel? Is it the creative and the media? Is it the message or the medium? Karen Nelson Field has demonstrated that the choice of media channel impacts the attention, but the creative messaging is responsible for triggering the action. So, assuming both are essential, how do we ensure the media and the message are working together, particularly in a world where there is so many different media choices? Lisa shares her views on the future of measuring creative performance, the impact of time on consumer response, and the opportunities presented by social media for testing and learning.
