Next were Google and BBH to discuss the joint British Airways and Google Earth advertising.
The ads featured shots using Google earth, with cloud pricing. While the site was designed to let you view the destination, but with a cloud image with the BA price on!
One highly interesting point was on the net ads, Google intentionally asked BA to lower the Google branding and increase the BA branding on overlay ads because Google didn’t want to be associated with ads that get in the way of sites.

Lastly, was Jon Hamm, the founder of Greenroom digital.
He discussed how this is an exciting time for agencies and clients, a time to take risks, to become even more creative.
He also mentioned how media consumption is becoming more and more chaotic, and how the power of social media is still increasing.
An interesting point he gave was about the nature of ‘viral’ distribution is moving to ‘resonate’ and ‘right place’ distribution. Its not just about putting a funny video up, its about putting it in the right place and making it resonate with the public.
One good point was how measuring views is not the only important metric anymore, it’s about how many people in the core audience viewed it, what did they say, and what sort of response it got.

After all these interesting people, it was left to Douglas Broadley of Imagination to sum up. Here are his major points.
“Amazing!” – What an insight!
The gloss of Kevin Roberts words was appealing, but things are not always that glossy in real life.
The idea of owning a conversation is ridiculous…
Agencies forgot to make a plan B! Hence all the recent panic!
The continuing difficulty in finding people who can move between disciplines.
Those who are quick on their feet will succeed.
Integration should just happen, but people get in the way. Integration is not a ‘nice to have’, it has to be meaningful.
Meaning will engender greater belief, which will help engage.
We need to define what unites brands and corporate cultures.
Integration is about Integrity.
People talk when you are found not to be true to their meaning, you can no longer be dishonest, people will find out.
I think this guy knows his stuff. A good choice to sum up.
