The approach? Keep an eye on consumption trends and trial new platforms and approaches. But don’t believe the hype and retain your media neutrality. Start every brief with a blank slate and a fresh mind. Follow @shaneoleary1

We believe our own media consumption behaviour is normal and everyone behaves the same way… Follow @shaneoleary1

The approach? Remain innovative and future focused. Be early adopters and try new formats and innovations. But avoid confirmation bias. Don’t fall prey to the ‘majority illusion’. You are not an average consumer. Follow @shaneoleary1

“Campaigns that include TV and digital are more effective.They actually make the same budget work harder. Positive business effects increase by 54% by adding TV and online video together.” Binet & Field IPA Database Study Follow @shaneoleary1 and use #DMXDublin
“By running a Facebook ad then a TV ad, marketers can help increase the impact of their campaign across screens.” Facebook Follow @shaneoleary1 and use #DMXDublin
The approach? The TV versus digital debate is cliched. It’s also increasingly irrelevant to consumers. There’s value in the overlap - take advantage of the halo effect. Follow @shaneoleary1
