Our industry has been fixated on and transformed by data and technology. For far too long we have left creativity out of the conversation. Daboll masterfully brings our attention back to the core pillar of advertising—the art of storytelling—and demonstrates that the coexistence of art and science is not only a reality, but also a necessity.
At the ARF, we have proven that “advertising works” over the course of the past 80 years. Today’s marketers and their insight leaders need new solutions– at scale, and at the speed of life, at their fingertips. In his book “Ad-itude”, experienced leader Peter Daboll helps to articulate and explicate today’s issues and opportunities. He brings forward solutions to answer the C-suite question: ‘Do my marketing dollars drive growth’ and ‘where should I spend my next marketing dollar.’ At the ARF we know how important great creative is, but it has been difficult to measure in the past. Today’s big data analytics open up new possibilities of immediate access to competitive context, and real time insight aided by leaders with new skills: synthesis, speed vs. perfection, and the leadership to take a stand. Ace Metrix is one of many solutions the industry counts on to drive growth.
Facebook has long understood the importance that ad creative plays in impacting user experience and driving ad performance.

We live in a time when the audience is in control, and by measuring ad quality we can deliver better ads and branded video experiences that people will not only choose to watch, but will also drive results.
The explosive growth of digital advertising has understandably placed an increased emphasis on media – but unfortunately at the expense of creative, which many have forgotten remains the most powerful element of the marketing mix. In this easily-readable book, Peter Daboll persuasively re-establishes creative’s importance in the digital age and shows us how science and creativity can live hand-in-hand.
