Jerry Daykin, Senior Media Director, EMEA, GSK Consumer Healthcare Marketing
Under huge pressure, and facing a perfect storm of external challenges, the advertising industry has an opportunity to look long & hard at what really matters to it. As we collectively pick ourselves back up we’ll look at some of the key changes we should all be trying to make as we look at our data approaches, our media supply chain, our content choices and the impact our advertising has on consumers & society. It’s easy to overstate the ‘new normal’ that we will find ourselves in, but some of it is in our hands to shape.
4.20pm – Thank you from Suzanne McElligott

SPEAKERS & PANELLISTS:
Orlando Wood, Chief Innovation Officer, System1 and author of best-selling and highly acclaimed book Lemon (IPA, 2019)
Using a unique mix of neuroscience, cultural history and advertising research, Orlando will show how an increase in abstract, left-brain thinking has undermined creativity and made advertising less effective. Today, advertising is flatter, more abstract and devitalised; a style diametrically opposed to effectiveness, one that no longer moves people and no longer attracts or sustains attention.

Jerry leads media for GSK Consumer Healthcare across their EMEA region, helping drive the continued marketing transformation of one of the world’s largest advertisers. He has a background in media partnerships and digital strategy, having led both globally for Diageo and prior to that agency side at Carat where he worked on a range of clients, most notably Mondelez. Jerry has championed improvements in the media supply chain, and as a member of the WFA Media Board was instrumental in defining their new Global Media Charter. He’s a regular blogger and published author with contributions to The Drum, The Guardian, Eat Your Greens and his own Digital Sense blog.
