Capturing Consumer Attention In The Critical
6.5 Seconds That Matter SMTuesday, June 22
10:00 - 10:45 a.m.
Debussy theatre – Palais des Festivals
Draftfcb believes that there is no way to separate creativity from accountability. As such, the company has analyzed the average time it takes consumers to lean into a marketing message and decide if it’s meaningful to them — by media channel (print, TV, digital and so on) as well as by category. The findings offer a wake-up call to marketers everywhere. -
Michael Fassnacht, Global Chief Strategy Officer, Matthew Willcox, Executive Director at the Draftfcb Institute of Decision Making and the Director of Strategic Planning at Draftfcb San Francisco, and Tom O’Keefe, Executive Creative Director for North America, discuss how this research has fundamentally changed the way they’re approaching the creative process, using data to uncover consumer insights to develop messaging that really matters to people and encourages them to act.
