Adland’s 2017 Predictions: CMOs And CEOs Share Their Trends To Look Out For In #UnInterviews Campaign

This month we asked thought leaders from around the world to give their predictions for Adland in 2017 as part of our #UNinterviews campaign.

We spoke to CMOs and CEOs from across the advertising industry – including Pepsico CMO Brad Jakeman,  IAB Australia CEO Vijay Solanki and IAB Australia CEO Miranda Dimopoulos – asking them to look into their crystal balls for the trends to look out for over the next 12 months.

As well as their forward-facing thoughts, we also got our interviewees to reveal their favourite ads of 2016 (as well as their ideal present this holiday season).

So sit back, relax and watch some of our contributors give their thoughts. As the article was getting super long, we could not feature every video, so we added links to some of our other contributors’ predictions at the end. Here are Unruly’s predictions (download link).

Massive, massive thanks to everyone who contributed. Here’s to a prosperous 2017!

Cheers!
