What Brands Want | Lifting the Lid on Innovation
In a landscape defined by constant change, brands that innovate and adapt are in prime position to capitalise on new technology, behaviour and ways of thinking. But with tech constantly disrupting the market and revolutionary business models wreaking havoc across industries, it’s hard to know where to start, let alone what innovation really means. Nevertheless, according to a recent Deloitte study, 88% of organisations expect their innovation budget to increase over the next two years.
Agencies now have an opportunity to lead on innovation and usher in a new era of marketing effectiveness.
Our latest report deep dives into what innovation means for brands such as L’Oréal, BBC and Mars, how innovation is now a strategic priority across the globe, and in turn the opportunities available for agencies. But how did we compile all this insight?
Well, Ingenuity’s Digital Connect new business event in autumn 2019 was the largest event to date. It saw us play host to over 200 brand and agency attendees, and covered Creative, Media and Technology. After reviewing brand briefs with the aim of unpacking the key challenges they wanted to address at the event, we realised that innovation was a trend which agencies needed to capitalise on. We used the briefs to inform interview questions which we asked brands at the event, before overlaying our own research and analysis. Et Voila!
