Fri, Nov 16: 4A’s Creativity Forum in Austin
The Forrest Four-Cast: November 7, 2018
Learn about “The Complexity of Storytelling Today — Can Effective B2C Storytelling Be Maintained in a Technology-Driven Environment?” at a special session at 9:00 am on Friday, November 16 at the Kodosky Donor Lounge at the Long Center.
This panel will address the explosion of B2C media vehicles and channels that inevitably impact the creative product. So, the session will cover how more messages, shorter formats, hyper-segmentation, and faster creation/production cycles are changing the overall media landscape. Speakers for this panel include Eric Bee (R/GA Austin Product Director), Raffaella Camera (Global Head of Market & Innovation Strategy, Accenture Extended Reality), Chris Ferrel (Digital Strategy Director, The Richards Group), Jay Russell (GSD&M SVP, CCO), Chris Tuff (22squared EVP, Director of Content Marketing & Partnerships), and Leslie Wingo (President & CEO, Sanders\Wingo). I am honored to serve as the moderator for this discussion.

This “Complexity of Storytelling Today” panel is presented by the South Texas Council Board of Governors of the 4A’s. This agency-focused organization helps empower members to deliver insightful creativity that drives commerce and influences culture, all while moving the industry forward.
Speaking of storytelling, you’ll find plenty of content focused on this topic at SXSW 2019 next March. Click here to browse some of the currently-scheduled panels and presentations that address this issue.
