Can great creative happen fast?

with Mitch Joel & Joseph Jaffe

Welcome to episode #283 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #19.20 of Across The Sound. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top Marketing Bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and Podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of three excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and Flip The Funnel). A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation Blog and Podcast), we’ve decided to hold monthly conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the Digital Marketing and Social Media landscape. This is our 19th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 19.20). Can great creative happen fast or does great creative take time? Can great creative be paid for in hours (the traditional agency model) or is better to be paid for value? We were both inspired by an Ad Age Blog post titled, Great Ideas Don’t Take As Much Time As Many Ad Agencies Claim, by Scott Montgomery and this is what unfolded. Enjoy the conversation…
