Advertising Isn't Dying. You're Just Listening to the Wrong People. | Ad Legend Chuck McBride

from Breaking and Entering Advertising Podcast · host Breaking and Entering Media

For nearly 30 years, Chuck McBride has heard the same prediction: advertising is dying.He's heard it through the rise of the internet, social media, YouTube, streaming, creators, and now AI. Yet after helping launch the iconic Got Milk? campaign, leading work for Nike, working alongside Lee Clow at TBWA\Chiat\Day, and building Cutwater into one of advertising's most respected independent agencies, Chuck remains optimistic about the future.In this conversation, Chuck joins Geno Schellenberger to discuss why creativity thrives under constraints, why media fragmentation creates more opportunity than most people realize, how agencies should think about charging for impact instead of time, and what young creatives need to do to stand out in a rapidly changing industry.Along the way, he shares stories from the early days of YouTube, explains how a small Ray-Ban experiment generated 20 million views, and makes the case that the best thing the next generation can do is stop listening to the doomers and start building.If you're worried about the future of advertising, this episode is for you.More from Breaking and Entering Media:💼 Follow on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/breaking-entering-media 📖 Read our Publications https://www.breaking-entering.com/blog💬 Join our Unlocked GroupMe https://groupme.com/join_group/102437585/xg5Z5tei✉️ Subscribe to The Vault https://breakingandenteringadv.substack.com/📹 Subscribe to our :60 Advertising News Videos https://breakingandentering.beehiiv.com/🏆 Check out the Crowbar Awards to break into advertising https://www.crowbarawards.com/🤝 Work With Us - Email: [email protected]
