SBP 214: The Cannes Cut - The Gap Between Knowing and Doing: Day 5 Reflections. Featuring David Tiltman.
Q: What do you see as the biggest ongoing blockers to moving from knowledge to practice in marketing today?
Key blockers include the disconnect at the C-suite level about marketing's role, budgets under pressure, misaligned metrics (especially ROAS across channels), and silos within organizations that prevent integrated strategy and execution.
SBP 214: The Cannes Cut - The Gap Between Knowing and Doing: Day 5 Reflections. Featuring David Tiltman.
Q: When did you realize there was a gap between knowledge and implementation in marketing, as discussed in the multiplier playbook?
The team noticed a consistent theme after releasing the report: CMOs understood the theory but struggled to turn it into a practical roadmap, which led to the development of the Multiplier Playbook to address blockers.
SBP 206: Great Creative Shouldn't Feel Scary. Karen Pearce, Rethink.
Q: What role does AI play in your creative process going into Cannes and beyond?
They acknowledge AI as a tool to augment creativity, not replace it. The emphasis is on maintaining human craft and authenticity, using AI to accelerate mundane tasks while ensuring ideas remain grounded in real human truths and distinctive brand assets.
SBP 206: Great Creative Shouldn't Feel Scary. Karen Pearce, Rethink.
Q: How does the crafts framework influence day-to-day creative work at Rethink?
The hosts discuss that Crafts provides a structured lens for evaluating ideas—Achievable, Budget-conscious, Fresh, True, Shareable, and relevant—helping teams stay objective and focused. It also guides internal reviews (above the line/below the line) and ensures creative work aligns with brand truth and culture.
SBP 206: Great Creative Shouldn't Feel Scary. Karen Pearce, Rethink.
Q: Where do you see clients most often getting in their own way of true creativity?
Karen explains that many clients approach projects with a mindset of poking holes rather than finding sparks. The remedy is treating the client and agency as equal partners, focusing on the aspects that resonate, and letting the agency's creative instincts guide exploration within a shared framework.
