The Cannes spirit




I can't believe it has been a little over 2 month since our week in cannes! Emotions have settled down and inspiration somewhat drawned in a pile of day-to-day work..
did cannes really change our lives? or was it an awesome training?
how do you apply the learning in your daily routine?
as to me: i am definitely hunger for more. to read, to learn, so see.. and to create.
but it is so difficult in practice!! how come it is so easy to pick out bright ideas for other brands?
even boring brands.. but it is so hard to figure out for myself. an idea get boxed with objectives, must-haves, legal comments, timeline etc. how do you, guys, manage it?

Which comes first, familiarity or usage?

Marc and all,
we had a talk with Iwona couple of days ago on which comes first: familiarity or usage?
In many recommendations research team says that we need to improve familiarity in order to improve usage. BUT> I always thought that familiarity comes with usage!

Is there any other way to increase familiarity? Do educational print? Anything else?
