Sean Aylmer: Welcome to the Fear and Greed daily interview. I’m Sean
2
00:00:06,540 –> 00:00:10,320
Sean Aylmer: Aylmer. A constant challenge for companies is finding the right
3
00:00:10,320 –> 00:00:13,679
Sean Aylmer: way to connect with consumers and other businesses to make
4
00:00:13,679 –> 00:00:17,309
Sean Aylmer: sure their brand stays relevant and front of mind. And
5
00:00:17,309 –> 00:00:20,220
Sean Aylmer: often that means being a little bit creative. I wanted
6
00:00:20,220 –> 00:00:22,980
Sean Aylmer: to find out what the advertising industry is like post
7
00:00:23,070 –> 00:00:25,950
Sean Aylmer: COVID, whether brands are still willing to push the boundaries,
8
00:00:26,189 –> 00:00:29,130
Sean Aylmer: the role of trust in advertising, and whether the world
9
00:00:29,130 –> 00:00:32,610
Sean Aylmer: now really does revolve around TikTok. Justin Graham is group
10
00:00:32,639 –> 00:00:36,360
Sean Aylmer: CEO of M& C Saatchi Australia and New Zealand and
11
00:00:36,360 –> 00:00:40,650
Sean Aylmer: Global Head of Advertising. Throughout his career, he’s advised clients
12
00:00:40,650 –> 00:00:44,909
Sean Aylmer: including Commonwealth Bank, Woolies, Tabcorp, Optus, Qantas, and more. And
13
00:00:44,909 –> 00:00:47,699
Sean Aylmer: that’s just the local companies. He’s joining us this morning
14
00:00:47,700 –> 00:00:52,109
Sean Aylmer: from Cannes, the most famous advertising festival in the world.
15
00:00:52,109 –> 00:00:53,400
Sean Aylmer: Justin, welcome to Fear and Greed.
16
00:00:53,400 –> 00:00:55,500
Justin Graham: Great to be here. Thank you.
17
00:00:55,830 –> 00:00:57,750
Sean Aylmer: I’ve got to ask you about Cannes first. I mean,
18
00:00:57,750 –> 00:01:01,170
Sean Aylmer: we’ll get into the stuff about brands and things. It’s
19
00:01:01,170 –> 00:01:04,589
Sean Aylmer: such a glamorous sounding place for people like me who
20
00:01:04,590 –> 00:01:06,690
Sean Aylmer: have never been there. What happens when all the ad
21
00:01:06,690 –> 00:01:09,120
Sean Aylmer: execs get together at Cannes? What’s it about?
22
00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:12,540
Justin Graham: That’s a great question. It’s 70 years actually of the
23
00:01:12,540 –> 00:01:16,200
Justin Graham: Cannes Lions Festival down here. I’m not sure why it
24
00:01:16,200 –> 00:01:19,890
Justin Graham: started here originally, but there’s obviously two main festivals down
25
00:01:19,890 –> 00:01:22,619
Justin Graham: in Cannes. There’s the film festival, which happened about three
26
00:01:22,620 –> 00:01:25,679
Justin Graham: weeks ago, and then there’s the advertising festival, which always
27
00:01:25,679 –> 00:01:28,529
Justin Graham: happens the second or third week of June. And yeah,
28
00:01:28,529 –> 00:01:34,589
Justin Graham: it’s tens of thousands of advertising media, entertainment executives descending
29
00:01:34,590 –> 00:01:37,200
Justin Graham: on one of the most beautiful places in the world,
30
00:01:38,099 –> 00:01:40,440
Justin Graham: which I think, at one point was very much around
31
00:01:40,440 –> 00:01:43,110
Justin Graham: patting each other on the back and more for the
32
00:01:43,110 –> 00:01:45,658
Justin Graham: creative side of the industry to be able to award
33
00:01:45,660 –> 00:01:47,820
Justin Graham: each other the best work that was happening around the
34
00:01:47,820 –> 00:01:51,030
Justin Graham: world and inspire each other.
And over the years, that
35
00:01:51,030 –> 00:01:54,120
Justin Graham: has very much evolved, and now awards are still a
36
00:01:54,120 –> 00:01:57,570
Justin Graham: part of the festival, but now it’s very much around
37
00:01:57,660 –> 00:02:02,250
Justin Graham: a showcase for new technology, understanding at least the media
38
00:02:02,250 –> 00:02:05,730
Justin Graham: environment and a place where the people that actually paid
39
00:02:05,730 –> 00:02:09,299
Justin Graham: the bills, the clients, probably never came and weren’t seen.
40
00:02:09,630 –> 00:02:12,810
Justin Graham: It’s very much a festival designed for the clients to
41
00:02:12,810 –> 00:02:15,120
Justin Graham: be as much a part of that community and part
42
00:02:15,120 –> 00:02:17,700
Justin Graham: of the conversation as the agencies.
43
00:02:18,360 –> 00:02:20,099
Sean Aylmer: It’d be a great week or two to be in
44
00:02:20,099 –> 00:02:22,410
Sean Aylmer: the French Riviera, no doubt about it. So tell me,
45
00:02:23,070 –> 00:02:28,139
Sean Aylmer: how has advertising changed since the pandemic? Are brands becoming
46
00:02:28,139 –> 00:02:30,930
Sean Aylmer: more risk averse? Have they come out of their shell
47
00:02:30,930 –> 00:02:34,888
Sean Aylmer: again? Just broadly give us the temperature on brands.
48
00:02:35,280 –> 00:02:39,749
Justin Graham: Yeah, there was definitely a time through the pandemic where
49
00:02:39,839 –> 00:02:42,510
Justin Graham: I would say there was great safety around what we
50
00:02:42,510 –> 00:02:45,810
Justin Graham: were doing in the communication space, and that was very necessary.
51
00:02:46,290 –> 00:02:49,380
Justin Graham: I’ve talked in the past about how we went from
52
00:02:49,440 –> 00:02:54,418
Justin Graham: thinking around origination and brand building to a more utilitarian approach.
53
00:02:54,419 –> 00:02:56,880
Justin Graham: And as we think around the brands that we were
54
00:02:56,880 –> 00:03:01,079
Justin Graham: certainly fortunate to support through that time in Australia, the
55
00:03:01,080 –> 00:03:04,410
Justin Graham: likes of the Woolworths Group and Commonwealth Bank, even Tourism
56
00:03:04,410 –> 00:03:07,590
Justin Graham: Australia from a domestic point of view, it was more
57
00:03:07,620 –> 00:03:10,529
Justin Graham: practical in terms of what consumers and what people needed
58
00:03:10,530 –> 00:03:12,959
Justin Graham: from those brands at that time because there was some real,
59
00:03:12,960 –> 00:03:15,508
Justin Graham: obviously fear and some significant changes to how we were
60
00:03:15,508 –> 00:03:19,110
Justin Graham: living our lives. Coming out of that pandemic, there’s definitely
61
00:03:19,110 –> 00:03:22,889
Justin Graham: been some learnings around how we can talk to consumers
62
00:03:22,889 –> 00:03:25,440
Justin Graham: and what they want to hear from brands. There’s definitely
63
00:03:25,440 –> 00:03:28,980
Justin Graham: been a shift in media consumption. So significant shifts around
64
00:03:28,980 –> 00:03:33,119
Justin Graham: linear TV. Linear TV in particular, has effectively fallen off
65
00:03:33,120 –> 00:03:35,670
Justin Graham: a cliff. Now, that’s not to say that people aren’t engaging
66
00:03:35,670 –> 00:03:38,670
Justin Graham: in content, they’re just engaging in their own time, Catch
67
00:03:38,670 –> 00:03:42,990
Justin Graham: Up TV, BVOD, YouTube, and that’s really driving the way
68
00:03:42,990 –> 00:03:47,760
Justin Graham: that we think around how we send messages. The extraordinary
69
00:03:48,059 –> 00:03:52,109
Justin Graham: progress that happened around both data and personalisation as well
70
00:03:52,109 –> 00:03:54,149
Justin Graham: as AI, which I’m sure we will talk about, that’s
71
00:03:54,210 –> 00:03:57,480
Justin Graham: certainly been a theme this week as well, has meant
72
00:03:57,480 –> 00:04:02,520
Justin Graham: that the move away from big broadcast based advertising into
73
00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:06,599
Justin Graham: personalised one-to-one communication has really been a theme this week
74
00:04:06,599 –> 00:04:08,880
Justin Graham: and it’s been prominent around the world. It’s probably the
75
00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:11,340
Justin Graham: biggest impact that’s happened coming out of the pandemic.
76
00:04:12,359 –> 00:04:14,730
Sean Aylmer: In a practical sense, I mean, when you’re you talking
77
00:04:14,730 –> 00:04:18,960
Sean Aylmer: about that one- to- one communication, I think I understand
78
00:04:18,960 –> 00:04:22,260
Sean Aylmer: it, but can you give me an example of how
79
00:04:22,260 –> 00:04:23,100
Sean Aylmer: that works?
80
00:04:23,759 –> 00:04:26,940
Justin Graham: Yeah, so you mentioned TikTok upfront there as well, and
81
00:04:26,940 –> 00:04:30,630
Justin Graham: I think there’s how everyone’s feed is engaged with in
82
00:04:30,630 –> 00:04:34,169
Justin Graham: different ways. Brands showing up and using real data to
83
00:04:34,170 –> 00:04:37,469
Justin Graham: understand how you can serve those messages and serve that
84
00:04:37,470 –> 00:04:42,748
Justin Graham: content through the feed becomes very personalised. Netflix, for example,
85
00:04:43,080 –> 00:04:45,059
Justin Graham: a couple of years ago, their business model was very
86
00:04:45,059 –> 00:04:48,660
Justin Graham: much around subscription based services. Last year they announced they
87
00:04:48,660 –> 00:04:52,980
Justin Graham: were going to have an advertising funded model, and so surprise, surprise,
88
00:04:53,310 –> 00:04:55,919
Justin Graham: they’ve turned up at Cannes this year wanting to talk
89
00:04:55,920 –> 00:04:59,099
Justin Graham: to advertisers around how they can be part of the platform.
90
00:04:59,099 –> 00:05:02,459
Justin Graham: And so when you’re logged in and you’re part of
91
00:05:02,580 –> 00:05:07,529
Justin Graham: your Netflix subscription, then you can have effectively personalized ads.
92
00:05:07,560 –> 00:05:10,859
Justin Graham: And as we start to look into artificial intelligence to
93
00:05:10,860 –> 00:05:12,870
Justin Graham: be able to generate that as well, what you might
94
00:05:12,870 –> 00:05:15,870
Justin Graham: see through your Netflix feed if you go down that
95
00:05:15,870 –> 00:05:18,719
Justin Graham: path to have that funded service will be different to mine.
96
00:05:18,990 –> 00:05:22,649
Justin Graham: And that’s a great opportunity for advertisers because in the past
97
00:05:22,650 –> 00:05:25,350
Justin Graham: it was one message going out to the masses. Now,
98
00:05:25,350 –> 00:05:28,290
Justin Graham: there’s an opportunity to customise that message through all the
99
00:05:28,290 –> 00:05:30,630
Justin Graham: pipes that we know that come into our house and
100
00:05:30,630 –> 00:05:31,260
Justin Graham: through our phone.
101
00:05:32,250 –> 00:05:34,230
Sean Aylmer: Yeah, the flip side of that though, as an advertiser,
102
00:05:34,230 –> 00:05:36,569
Sean Aylmer: how do I know which one to take? So if
103
00:05:36,570 –> 00:05:39,029
Sean Aylmer: Netflix is coming to me and linear TV’s coming to
104
00:05:39,029 –> 00:05:42,240
Sean Aylmer: me, podcasts are coming to me, how do I know
105
00:05:43,020 –> 00:05:44,550
Sean Aylmer: which option to take?
106
00:05:45,120 –> 00:05:48,150
Justin Graham: Yeah, I think there’s a value exchange that happens with
107
00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:53,159
Justin Graham: consumers and they’re getting content, they’re getting entertainment, they’re getting news,
108
00:05:53,160 –> 00:05:56,220
Justin Graham: whatever it might be. And so on the flip side there,
109
00:05:56,730 –> 00:05:58,650
Justin Graham: there’s an opportunity for brands to be able to go
110
00:05:58,650 –> 00:06:02,368
Justin Graham: and customise the messages that they’re saying there. So I
111
00:06:02,370 –> 00:06:06,390
Justin Graham: think it’s an interesting world at the moment because certainly
112
00:06:06,390 –> 00:06:09,570
Justin Graham: talking to people down here, walking along the Croisette, as
113
00:06:09,570 –> 00:06:13,230
Justin Graham: they say, down in the French Riviera, it’s an uncertain
114
00:06:13,230 –> 00:06:17,490
Justin Graham: time as well. It’s an uncertain time around where brands
115
00:06:17,490 –> 00:06:21,420
Justin Graham: should be investing their money. Traditional metrics around Share of
116
00:06:21,420 –> 00:06:24,419
Justin Graham: Voice for example, are still very prominent and a lot
117
00:06:24,420 –> 00:06:27,779
Justin Graham: of the marketeers and boards are still incentivised around that.
118
00:06:28,080 –> 00:06:29,819
Justin Graham: But how do you go and get that reach when
119
00:06:29,820 –> 00:06:33,359
Justin Graham: you’re going down these more one-to-one channels? So it’s just
120
00:06:33,360 –> 00:06:36,029
Justin Graham: reconciling itself at the moment. And so it will be interesting
121
00:06:36,029 –> 00:06:37,770
Justin Graham: in the next couple of years what that means for
122
00:06:37,770 –> 00:06:40,410
Justin Graham: advertising and creativity and where that takes it.
123
00:06:40,890 –> 00:06:42,810
Sean Aylmer: Stay with me, Justin. We’ll be back in a minute.
124
00:06:48,809 –> 00:06:52,109
Sean Aylmer: My guest today is Justin Graham, Group CEO at M&C
125
00:06:52,320 –> 00:06:55,860
Sean Aylmer: Saatchi Australia and New Zealand and Global Head of Advertising.
126
00:06:56,580 –> 00:06:58,830
Sean Aylmer: I’m interested in the brand itself. I mean, a brand
127
00:06:59,430 –> 00:07:02,339
Sean Aylmer: kind of represents a company or a product or whatever,
128
00:07:02,550 –> 00:07:04,889
Sean Aylmer: but if it’s one-to-one, can you have a bunch of
129
00:07:04,889 –> 00:07:06,479
Sean Aylmer: different brands for the one product?
130
00:07:08,219 –> 00:07:12,449
Justin Graham: Yeah, it’s a really good observation because effectively you can.
131
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:16,350
Justin Graham: I mean, we customize these brands and a brand that
132
00:07:16,350 –> 00:07:20,130
Justin Graham: everyone knows is Nike, and Nike’s had a very good
133
00:07:20,429 –> 00:07:22,650
Justin Graham: week again here winning some awards for some work that
134
00:07:22,650 –> 00:07:26,819
Justin Graham: they’ve done. And Nike, I think, do it brilliantly. When
135
00:07:26,820 –> 00:07:30,180
Justin Graham: they think about their brand having a core, and then
136
00:07:30,180 –> 00:07:32,970
Justin Graham: the flex that sits around that brand that allows it
137
00:07:32,970 –> 00:07:36,510
Justin Graham: to move into different places. Whether you’re a runner, a
138
00:07:36,510 –> 00:07:39,059
Justin Graham: yoga instructor, or someone that’s just trying to go for
139
00:07:39,059 –> 00:07:41,010
Justin Graham: a walk or someone that’s a skateboarder or whatever it
140
00:07:41,010 –> 00:07:44,099
Justin Graham: might be, that brand stretches into all those different areas.
141
00:07:44,099 –> 00:07:48,630
Justin Graham: So theoretically, your Nike experience would be very different to
142
00:07:48,630 –> 00:07:52,739
Justin Graham: my Nike experience. Yeah, and that’s something that we’re all
143
00:07:52,740 –> 00:07:55,530
Justin Graham: grappling with as well because arguably it was easier in
144
00:07:55,530 –> 00:07:57,540
Justin Graham: the past. I’m sure that people that were in the
145
00:07:57,540 –> 00:07:59,250
Justin Graham: past say, “No, it wasn’t easy then. It was just
146
00:07:59,250 –> 00:08:00,869
Justin Graham: as hard.” But we look back and say, “It was
147
00:08:00,870 –> 00:08:03,450
Justin Graham: probably easier because there was one message and you would
148
00:08:03,450 –> 00:08:07,380
Justin Graham: take a broader insight around society.” Let’s just take Nike
149
00:08:07,380 –> 00:08:10,500
Justin Graham: and they still stick to their purpose, which they believe
150
00:08:10,500 –> 00:08:14,639
Justin Graham: everyone’s an athlete. How that manifests itself across multiple channels
151
00:08:14,639 –> 00:08:16,950
Justin Graham: and messages is really what’s changed.
152
00:08:18,000 –> 00:08:19,679
Sean Aylmer: I’ve got to ask about TikTok. We’ve mentioned it a
153
00:08:19,679 –> 00:08:22,769
Sean Aylmer: couple of times. Every time you read about TikTok, the
154
00:08:22,770 –> 00:08:26,130
Sean Aylmer: audience is growing and not withstanding some of the geopolitical
155
00:08:26,130 –> 00:08:31,680
Sean Aylmer: concerns, it is an incredibly powerful medium. Are brands using
156
00:08:31,680 –> 00:08:37,081
Sean Aylmer: TikTok to reflect the numbers of people using TikTok?
157
00:08:37,081 –> 00:08:42,209
Justin Graham: They are. I mean, TikTok’s just on an incredible journey of growth and are very
158
00:08:42,240 –> 00:08:46,410
Justin Graham: prominent, again, here. It’s often interesting to see the rise
159
00:08:46,410 –> 00:08:51,510
Justin Graham: in potentially more muted brands. Brands like Twitter, for example,
160
00:08:51,510 –> 00:08:54,360
Justin Graham: with all the challenges that they’ve had, are very muted
161
00:08:54,360 –> 00:08:57,869
Justin Graham: in terms of their appearance. Whereas TikTok is very significant
162
00:08:57,870 –> 00:09:01,679
Justin Graham: and their growth is just extraordinary around the world. Brands
163
00:09:01,679 –> 00:09:06,090
Justin Graham: love TikTok because it’s a place where creation happens as
164
00:09:06,090 –> 00:09:08,970
Justin Graham: well. It really is a creator’s platform, and so they
165
00:09:08,970 –> 00:09:13,319
Justin Graham: can be very creative around that piece. And it’s interesting,
166
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:15,900
Justin Graham: I think the rise of TikTok, many brands were on
167
00:09:15,900 –> 00:09:18,929
Justin Graham: TikTok before they even realized they were on TikTok because
168
00:09:19,860 –> 00:09:24,809
Justin Graham: their employees, their staff members were uploading content around their
169
00:09:24,809 –> 00:09:27,900
Justin Graham: experience. And so yeah, it’s a fascinating space to see
170
00:09:27,900 –> 00:09:30,599
Justin Graham: where that will go to, outside of the geopolitical concerns
171
00:09:30,599 –> 00:09:31,828
Justin Graham: as exactly as you said.
172
00:09:32,429 –> 00:09:35,069
Sean Aylmer: I’ve got to ask you about creativity just quickly, where
173
00:09:35,070 –> 00:09:38,130
Sean Aylmer: does Australia stack up in terms of creativity? Because you’re
174
00:09:38,550 –> 00:09:42,300
Sean Aylmer: in the centre of the advertising world right now, how
175
00:09:42,300 –> 00:09:43,020
Sean Aylmer: do we perform?
176
00:09:44,190 –> 00:09:47,490
Justin Graham: Australia’s always performed very well. We punch above our weight
177
00:09:47,550 –> 00:09:50,819
Justin Graham: and really perform well on the world stage. And after a
178
00:09:50,820 –> 00:09:54,179
Justin Graham: few quieter years in terms of our creativity, and I
179
00:09:54,179 –> 00:09:58,410
Justin Graham: think that was a product of a longer lockdown period,
180
00:09:59,010 –> 00:10:01,890
Justin Graham: more internally focused from an industry point of view in
181
00:10:01,890 –> 00:10:04,349
Justin Graham: terms of supporting each other and supporting the brands that
182
00:10:04,349 –> 00:10:07,140
Justin Graham: were certainly from on the domestic front through the pandemic.
183
00:10:07,620 –> 00:10:10,170
Justin Graham: This year has been a real return to form. There’s
184
00:10:10,170 –> 00:10:14,309
Justin Graham: been Australians winning across the world stage every night. There’s
185
00:10:14,309 –> 00:10:17,130
Justin Graham: a series of awards across the different types of advertising,
186
00:10:17,130 –> 00:10:20,429
Justin Graham: whether that be film or entertainment or effectiveness, et cetera.
187
00:10:20,790 –> 00:10:23,429
Justin Graham: And every night Australians have done incredibly well. So it’s
188
00:10:23,429 –> 00:10:26,399
Justin Graham: great to see my colleagues around the world getting up
189
00:10:26,400 –> 00:10:29,309
Justin Graham: there and getting some awards again and being recognized, because
190
00:10:30,900 –> 00:10:34,439
Justin Graham: Australia has always been a fascinating melting pot for creativity.
191
00:10:34,440 –> 00:10:37,620
Justin Graham: Australians have always done very well on the world stage
192
00:10:37,620 –> 00:10:40,500
Justin Graham: and are leading some of the biggest advertising networks in
193
00:10:40,500 –> 00:10:44,579
Justin Graham: the world and are very proud to be representing that from Australia.
194
00:10:44,580 –> 00:10:46,739
Justin Graham: So it’s great to see, and that only makes the
195
00:10:46,740 –> 00:10:50,010
Justin Graham: industry better. It makes M&C Saatchi better when you’re looking
196
00:10:50,010 –> 00:10:53,190
Justin Graham: at your peers doing very well, and it’s exciting around
197
00:10:53,190 –> 00:10:54,600
Justin Graham: what the next year ahead would look like.
198
00:10:55,410 –> 00:10:58,139
Sean Aylmer: I have to ask you, Justin, what’s your favourite ever campaign?
199
00:10:58,139 –> 00:11:00,089
Sean Aylmer: I mean, let’s say the favourite ever campaign you’ve worked on,
200
00:11:00,090 –> 00:11:02,490
Sean Aylmer: or maybe that’s going to narrow it too much, but
201
00:11:02,490 –> 00:11:05,429
Sean Aylmer: just give me a taste of one of your favourites.
202
00:11:05,999 –> 00:11:10,110
Justin Graham: Favourite campaign I ever worked on. The first campaign campaign
203
00:11:10,110 –> 00:11:13,470
Justin Graham: I ever worked on was Bundaberg Rum in Australia.
204
00:11:13,530 –> 00:11:13,980
Sean Aylmer: Oh, wow.
205
00:11:14,040 –> 00:11:16,199
Justin Graham: It’s sort a throwback there, which at the time was
206
00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:19,199
Justin Graham: doing phenomenally well and still is. And I just thought
207
00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:22,679
Justin Graham: that was fascinating around something that was so uniquely Australian
208
00:11:22,679 –> 00:11:27,328
Justin Graham: with the Bundy Bear and the representation that took across
209
00:11:27,330 –> 00:11:31,440
Justin Graham: regional Australia in particular. And that was a campaign that
210
00:11:31,440 –> 00:11:34,649
Justin Graham: didn’t translate so well in the world stage. But I
211
00:11:34,650 –> 00:11:36,719
Justin Graham: always look very fondly back on that and think I
212
00:11:36,719 –> 00:11:40,500
Justin Graham: learned a lot about how to embed brands and culture, and
213
00:11:40,679 –> 00:11:44,460
Justin Graham: Diageo a phenomenal marketing company.
I’ve been very fortunate to
214
00:11:44,460 –> 00:11:46,559
Justin Graham: work on some great brands around the world. And more
215
00:11:46,559 –> 00:11:51,208
Justin Graham: recently, the Tourism Australia work. We’ve done some fantastic campaigns,
216
00:11:51,240 –> 00:11:54,659
Justin Graham: both pre pandemic as we looked at getting people from
217
00:11:54,660 –> 00:11:57,089
Justin Graham: the UK into Australia, and then post pandemic with the
218
00:11:57,089 –> 00:12:00,449
Justin Graham: recent work we’ve done with G’Day, where we featured Australian
219
00:12:00,449 –> 00:12:04,980
Justin Graham: actor Rose Byrne and the American actor Will Arnett with
220
00:12:04,980 –> 00:12:07,950
Justin Graham: the help of some animated characters to go and welcome
221
00:12:07,950 –> 00:12:11,670
Justin Graham: Australia back. And that’s great nation building work because it’s
222
00:12:11,670 –> 00:12:15,540
Justin Graham: creativity that’s best and it’s out there and it’s such
223
00:12:15,540 –> 00:12:17,879
Justin Graham: an important job for the hundreds of thousands of small
224
00:12:17,879 –> 00:12:20,848
Justin Graham: business operators in Australia that rely on that sort of
225
00:12:20,850 –> 00:12:24,780
Justin Graham: communication for inbound tourism. So it’s great to work on
226
00:12:24,780 –> 00:12:26,970
Justin Graham: those big campaigns on the world stage.
227
00:12:27,450 –> 00:12:29,310
