Our industry is changing at a breakneck pace. Large consulting companies are buying creative, digital, and analytics agencies and holding companies are trying to add new capabilities to compete. Creative agencies are adding “consultant” to the ever-growing list of hats their teams wear every day. That complexity is made more challenging by shrinking project budgets and marketing departments bringing even more work and talent in-house. What does the future of creativity look like? How can you create massive value for your clients with an agile approach to problem-solving through creativity in this complex landscape? Join Nate Spees (CEO) & Greg Gibson (CCO) of Grizzly and their team as they share their experience and ideas about solving brand challenges at the intersection of commerce & culture.
