The Ad Club

Last week, in partnership with The Grist and Morgan Stanley, The Ad Club hosted our latest installment of CMO / Executive Dinners @ View Boston. More than 25 of the brightest minds in marketing turned out for a first-of-its-kind presentation by Ted Schlueter, Trevor Byrne, CFP? and Michael Welts of Wasabi Technologies on creating game-changing value for their companies and life-changing value for themselves. Membership has its perks! Big thanks to Ted, Trevor and Michael for the engaging discussion, all the CMO's who joined and shared their insight and Tyavanna Skane for helping bring this to life! Personal bonus was getting to hear some insights into the Wasabi x Liverpool FC partnership!

Eric Freedman, I concur. What a great event. I was also so happy to reconnect with so many familiar faces and ex-colleagues from all points of my career. Ted Schlueter, what a great gift you gave us all on your special day! #CMOseries #ViewBoston The Ad Club Wasabi Technologies Morgan Stanley Barbara Reilly Josh Boyle

It's not enough for audiences to just understand our campaigns, we want them to be engaged, compelled, and motivated. That’s especially true when we’re talking about campaigns that aim to change hearts and minds about health, safety, and wellness. On #worldmentalhealth day, we want to support mental health for everyone in all cultures. This is why for our "Be the Strong Unsilent Type" campaign with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health we focused on transcreation (not translations) for our Spanish and Asian-language audiences (Chinese and Vietnamese). Because when you are talking about important concepts like mental health, nuance matters. Just because a word or phrase hits home with one audience, doesn't mean the direct translation will work for another. Here we learned through discussions and focus groups that concepts like "brave" and "strong" resonated more with certain audiences and so we adapted the words to keep the integrity of the message that talking about your feelings can really help. Argus' amazing Chief Strategy Officer José Nieto shows it process perfectly with this deck he put together for last years The Ad Club's Rosoff Equity Project with the final message of, "Inclusivity and cultural relevance are about both intent and process. How you do it counts."
