Future of creativity in APAC

A host of WPP experts, moderated by Charlotte McEleny (Publisher APAC at The Drum) on Tuesday 8 June, explored how technology, data and experience are influencing creative communication and creating new opportunities for brands to engage with consumers.

Exploring the tension that exists between micro-targeted messaging and brand consistency, topics discussed at the virtual event included:
