Q&A WITH PAUL ALFIERI, CADENT CMO Paul Alfieri, CMO of Cadent, looks forward to Cannes Lions because while the world is rapidly moving toward automation, this is the one place you still get to meet and talk to actual people, he said. “It still has that very personal component. We are still marketing to human beings. This isn't my machine calls your machine. I think in marketing, if you forget the humanity part of the story, you lose.” Why is data important? Data and targeting can get you closer to that person, meaning find a window in their life with the most relevant time for you to have communication. But it's like a pickup line—you can still blow it with the wrong pickup line. Cannes is great because we probably spend 11 months out of the year talking about technology and data, so to spend two weeks looking at work and talking about creativity and human beings I think is really, really important for the profession. Can you explain the ad eco system to me like I'm your mother? There are groups of companies that innovate using technology and data and the Internet to make advertising work in an era where people aren't just watching TV or listening to the radio or reading magazines. The challenge for an advertiser is when their target audience is fragmented. It used to be really easy, we could just put a Super Bowl ad in front of you. Now there's a lot of companies who are innovating using technology and data and lots of other things to try to stitch together a Super Bowl-sized audience to your Apple TV and your iPad and your iPhone and your computer. Do you feel like we're getting to a point where there are no boundaries between TV and print and digital? If you're watching a show on a 60-inch flat panel TV, the commercial I would want to show you would be very different than if you're watching it on a 5-inch phone screen. In that way I think there's always going to be, maybe not barriers, but different capabilities of each of the mediums that can be exploited in the best way possible to deliver your message. But since the audience is fragmented across all of those different device types, if you're a marketer, you want to have some consistency to your message. In order to get the consistency, marketers are taking to data that unifies the definition of audience between TV and video and the Internet and social and so forth and so I think that's where the innovation is happening is in bringing things together. Why is a transparent TV ad ecosystem good for the entire TV industry? I think what's interesting about where we are today with data and targeting is that an advertiser really can define their audience in the way they want to define their audience: “I know that my buyer is this type of person.” The challenge is if I can only use that definition in one medium or say on one specific network on TV, it doesn't do me any good. Being able to push that definition into lots of different mediums is key for the success of my campaign. We need an ecosystem that can exchange and translate all the different buyer definitions of audience. Is there still romance in TV advertising? Always. Most people go into advertising because they want to do a 30-second spot. I think the challenge with it is you can't get blinded by the romance and you also have to recognize where your targets are as a marketer and make sure that your romancing in the right location and that means that the 30-second spot that I run today is going to have different impact on the market than the 30-second spot run 20 years ago. And that doesn't mean it’s bad, it's just different. What excites you about the future of advertising? What excites me as a marketer now is that we're moving to an era where the proxy is eliminated, so I can actually know and understand my audience. Not a subset of my audience, not a panel of my audience, not a section of my audience. I can know and understand in real time what's going on with my audience. Meaning how is my brand followed by them? Are they in market for my product at this point? Where are they going for more information? We're at this point now where we can tell you within a day if somebody saw the ad and bought a car. It's unheard of. HEARD ON THE STREETS: TRUTH FROM THE MOUTHS OF LIONS “Blockchain is when different computers speak to each other and they make something happen at the end.” - inside the Palais. “I feel really frustrated with the industry, because I feel it’s all talk and no action. There’s far too much strategy and nothing ever comes of it. It’s good that people are trying to move forward, but we should have done this 20 years ago. I find the conversations archaic.” - female brand account executive. “As a black woman, when I walk on the Croisette, I feel like I don’t belong here. This year, I see a few more faces, but last year it would literally be one other person. It’s improved, but you know you’re different.” – account manager. “All this brand purpose shit… what does it even mean? People just need to do the right thing.” - chief marketing officer. “How would I explain blockchain to my mother? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” -Cannes resident.
