2019 Ad prediction (AdAge; Jan 3, 2019):

“The return to sound. With the over-saturation of images, customers will want to find meaning through sound and speech. Everyone’s into podcasts; this relatively new format allows for a more intimate relationship between the sender of the message and the audience.  ASMR [Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response] is also a sign of this renewal. By whispering information, we make it more impactful, unlike a flow of flashy images that no one can follow. Finally, sound allows for flexibility when it comes to production, especially in terms of rights, which these days should interest more than one brand.”
– Jean-François Sacco, chief creative officer and co-founder, Rosapark.
