PANEL SYNOPSIS

Brands produce hundreds, if not thousands of assets a year. Beyond their 30 second TV spots, they’ve got to think about making stuff for social media, e-commerce, point of sale, digital OOH, podcasts, live events, and the odd eye-catching tech innovation. At the same time, they’re having to work harder than ever to grab attention. It all has huge implications for craft, tech and logistics. 

With so much to juggle, and the new challenges and opportunities that are arising, brands, agencies, and production companies are finding different ways to work - and work together. We’ll be talking to production experts across the industry to put together the jigsaw of what production really looks like now, and how companies need to adapt. 

MODERATOR 


Alex Reeves, Managing Editor, EMEA, Little Black Book




Alex has been on the Little Black Book editorial team since 2017, but has been writing about advertising since 2012. Former editor of UK commercial production publication The Beak Street Bugle, what began as a career covering the craft side of the British industry broadened significantly when he joined the global platform of LBB. He’s now managing editor of the platform. 

A keen escapist, Alex tries to get as much time as he can away from screens, whether that’s tending to the veg he grows on his balcony, cooking with said vegetables, or taking long walks while listening to pulp sci-fi audiobooks.
