Discussion – How to communicate in 2024?
We have all experienced the magic that happens in the triangle of advertiser, media, customer. With the flood of goods nowadays it is a miracle that the right product or service finds its way to the person who needs it. But what exactly is it that gives that fatal spark and creates the chemistry to make “love at first sight” and purchase happen; moreover: what must happen to make a product or service a “must have” and even to become the definition of whether you are “in” or “out”. At this discussion you will figure out that the key lies in finding the right way to communicate, where the old paradigms of advertising no longer apply and the main factor is dynamic communication, opening up space for dialogue, inclusion and equality between buyer and seller. It doesn’t matter whether behind this communication it is an artificial intelligence, a bot or a ChatGPT, a creative human in the form of a real flesh and blood, or the machinery of an advertising agency. What matters is the impact. Sales. Image. And as one of the greatest creatives of the Slovenian advertising industry said, “the effect is undeniably the greatest if the seller replaces the word “our” with “your” and if the battle is fought for souls and not for money”. Find out what this means at SEMPL 2023 in Portorož from the best of the masters of the communications.
