Orlando Wood presents: "the COVID-19 crisis calls for right brain thinking" [WEBINAR]

 

In this fascinating talk, Orlando Wood outlines the differences between left- and right-brain thinking and how that impacts advertising effectiveness, and he provides 3 key lessons gleaned from the most recent research out of System1:

  1. There has been no reduction in advertising’s ability to connect with people during this crisis
  2. You don’t need to address the crisis to make an impact: On aggregate, ads from January and February 2020 are connecting just as strongly today as they did pre-crisis
  3. Creative based on “right-brain” thinking are performing even better now than they were before: Ads that show connection – to other people, to places, to the past – are resonating much better than ads that focus on things over people, are aggressive or competitive in nature, or indulge in vanity.
