Scalable Creative Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank

On the Contrary, EPISODE 3

Host: Kayla Kurtz
Closed Loop Panelist: Jeremy Olsen
Guest Panelist: Chris Stone

In this Episode:

Our third episode of On The Contrary explores all things creative – specifically why we believe new assets and content can be developed without taking forever or costing a fortune to produce. 

In fact, our opinion is that creative can be the most ROI-positive allocation of marketing budget, as long as you have a strategy to scale one resource to meet the needs of many channels and light up ad inventory availability. 

The episode panelists discuss:

  • The reasonable hesitation advertisers may feel about investing in creative, matched with a solution to remove the bloat of fees and ever-extending timelines. 
  • What it means to repurpose, replatform, and level up creative assets with a combination of agency and in-house team collaboration. 
  • How this approach has come to life with clients like Clover, Huckberry, Calm, Maven Clinic, Magnifi, and many others for a fully integrated Creative + Media strategy that leverages key learnings and pivots quickly.
