Ever wanted to know how to turn a skincare brand into the talk of the Super Bowl? How the production depts of some of the US's best agencies keep on top? What goes through the mind of a director known for the weird and wacky?
Hoping to answer all of your questions live and in-person, shots' inaugural US Out of the Box event, taking place on 1 May at The Bike Shed, Downtown LA, has announced its day-long line-up... and it's a goodun.
Kicking things off with an in-depth Anatomy of an Ad panel session, the folk behind the Big Game-breaking Michael CeraVe campaign will be talking about how it all came together. Chaired by shots' Jamie Madge, the panel of Avi Steinbach and Alex Holm, Creative Directors at Ogilvy, and Suzanne Hargrove, Vice President/Executive Producer at PRETTYBIRD, will go through the stages required to make some low-key guerilla stunts climax in a globally discussed commercial break.
