Marketing Innovation With Edward Boches

What will it take for there to be true innovation in Marketing? Welcome to episode #242 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. It’s not just a question that I kick around at the office, on the Blog or on this Podcast. It's something that Edward Boches grapples with daily. Edward is the Chief Innovation Officer for the advertising agency, Mullen. Mullen was recently celebrated as the #3 agency of the year of Ad Age‘s Agency A-List. Their work with clients like Zappos and Jet Blue has not only been innovative for it’s traditional mass advertising, but because of how the agency works in a completely integrated fashion. Edward also has an amazing Blog called, Creativity Unbound. We first connected during a panel debate over on The Beancast and agreed that we should go toe-to-toe to discuss Marketing, innovation and the future of advertising. The time has come. Enjoy the conversation…
