In the world of advertising, diversity in leadership and creative innovation is essential for shaping the experiences and narratives that resonate across society. However, this diversity has often been lacking, particularly in the voices driving groundbreaking campaigns and initiatives. To address this, we introduced the S4 Fellowship Program—a two-year immersive experience aimed at enhancing representation within the industry.

Who We Welcome

Our program has its roots in recruiting exceptional graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). While we maintain a strong commitment to HBCU graduates, we are thrilled to expand our reach to include graduates from other Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). We are committed to providing opportunities for early-career professionals looking to grow their expertise and develop the skills needed to thrive in advertising and marketing.

The Fellowship Experience

The S4 Fellowship Program is an immersive journey that accelerates professional growth through hands-on experience and mentorship. Fellows rotate across various teams, gaining exposure to different areas of marketing, creative, and technology services. They collaborate on major projects, work closely with industry professionals, and receive structured training to build a strong foundation for their careers. This approach ensures that each Fellow gains a comprehensive understanding of the business and its evolving landscape.

What it Means to Be a Fellow

Being a Fellow is similar to an apprenticeship—an opportunity for recent graduates and early-career professionals to gain full-time, entry-level experience while engaging in a structured development program. Fellows take on meaningful work across critical projects, client initiatives, campaigns, and productions, ensuring that their experience is dynamic, comprehensive, and impactful. While every Fellow’s journey is unique, the program is designed to provide a deep understanding of the evolving industry landscape.

The program is structured around four six-month rotations, allowing Fellows to work across various departments within marketing and technology services. These rotations are designed to align with business needs while providing exposure to different aspects of the industry.

S4 Women Leaders

Women’s History Month revolves around commemorating and celebrating women’s vital role in shaping our history, culture and society. It’s also a time and extra push to reflect on how we are currently creating space for future generations of females to thrive. A crucial part of this is to make way for more women in leadership positions. Not only does research show that this helps increase profitability, as Workplace states that “companies in the top 25% for gender diversity on their executive teams are 25% more likely to have above-average profitability,” but also that it fosters a more inclusive workplace which attracts diverse talent.

While businesses around the world are making progress on appointing more women to leadership positions, it’s high time we ramp up the pace. So, I was delighted to participate in S4Capital’s Women Leadership Program, a six-month virtual course designed in collaboration with UC Berkeley’s School of Business and led by the acclaimed Dr. Homa Bahrami. Open to female leaders within Media.Monks to help them reach the next level of leadership, the program touches on a range of topics such as Inclusive Leadership, Strategic Thinking and Innovation. Through this experience, I’ve had the opportunity to pick the brains of esteemed business scholars and fellow female leaders in defining what modern leadership looks like. In my view, we live in an ever-evolving, hyperconnected world today where talent, clients and consumers alike no longer wish, but demand to see the diversity of the global population reflected in their leaders. So, which new colours should we add to repaint the leadership picture? 

Strengthening Female Leaders to Drive Gender Equity 

In line with our mission to change who does the work, realizing gender equity is a top priority. However, while only hiring more women is not going to cut it, appointing them to senior leadership positions can. In light of this, S4Capital’s Women Leadership Program focused on how we can change the company and spur innovation. “It was amazing to see the diversity in perspectives when women in different roles come together and discuss the challenges we all face in everyday life,” says Helena Curado, VP of Business Consulting in Latin America. Moreover, the program seeks to build bridges between women in different capabilities and strata of the organization to foster a tight-knit internal network. For many, this has left a very positive mark on both their professional and personal development. 

“Through the program, the insights garnered from our global force of female leaders allowed me to see things differently, impacting my goals in ways that were previously not obvious to me,” says Erika Lang, SVP Group Account Director in New York. “The energy harnessed through our collective gathering has powered me up.” As positive leadership sparks positive change, equipping female leaders with a supportive, inspiring network can go a long way in realizing gender equity - and determining who will succeed them in senior leadership positions.  

Leading The Way With Diversity and Inclusion 

The global pandemic has drastically changed business as usual, forcing companies to completely rethink their organization. The transition to working from home has shown that people can retain their levels of productivity, wherever they are. With geo-distributed teams becoming the new norm, leaders will be challenged by time zones, cultural differences, and difficulties with nurturing relationships through virtual communication. While this certainly presents new challenges around culture-building, quality control, and effective communication, it also creates opportunities for leaders to put more effort into building trust, encouraging collaboration and fostering a safe professional environment. 

Hybrid work offers possibilities to be more inclusive of teams that need less stimuli to focus, revealing the need for new leaders who are willing to accommodate the neurodiversity of their teams and foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Moreover, strengthening DE&I has evolved into a top priority for companies, clients and consumers, as leaders recognize that establishing a diverse workforce is essential for your success, especially in terms of the talent and clients you attract.

Monk Thoughts Culture fuels results. An environment of inclusivity and enablement is how we must show up for our employees and this not only benefits individual growth, but company growth.

Design That Delivers Scale

With our world always in flux, it’s important to keep pace. To be an effective leader in a changing world means continuously designing yourself out of your current position and handing over the reins to emerging leaders when a new challenge comes knocking. Especially in hyper-growth environments such as the digital media industry, scale is the buzzword that never goes out of style.

Monk Thoughts The digital era has made business much more complex and granular, so to make an impact, leaders have to listen and co-create much more to make sure they are involving all the different angles that are needed to reach success.
Helena Curado headshot

As we scale, we need to nurture a culture that enables growth and employ a “coaching” leadership style in building our new generation of leaders. Studies show that women are skilled at strengthening team processes, collaboration and performance because of their ability to listen to different voices and guide by coaching, thereby capitalizing on the team’s combined skills and knowledge while uncovering where and what expertise is needed to scale the business. 

If Not a Victory, Then Always an Important Lesson

Sharing the Women Leadership Program experience with fellow female leaders has re-emphasized to me that it’s no sin to fail, so long as we celebrate our successes and always heed the lessons of failure. Our role as leaders is to provide feedback, training and mentorship to the next generation of leaders. It’s important that we let our teams experiment, and if they fail, try again. On top of that, our job is to encourage initiative, inspire learning moments, and stimulate a broader understanding of the problems, consequences and significance of failures. Above all, I trust our budding leaders will remember the lessons they learn throughout their journey.

Effective leadership is always going to be dynamic. There’s not just one style that works for every leader, team or even situation. In other words, leaders need to be adaptable. “Across sectors and industries, leadership can only be future-proofed by leaders' ability to evolve, adapt and embrace the unknown,” says Malin Hanås, Creative Director in London. “It's truly a necessity to never stand still,” Curado adds. 

At Media.Monks, we’ve developed a brand that is flexible and built with the intent to empower our people to make it their own. Though we as leaders all share the desire to fuel our team’s self-confidence, effectiveness and productivity, our daily fire drills are different. Still, there’s one thing we have in common: we’re not just here to change the work and what it can do, but especially who does the work. Let’s repaint the leadership portrait to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive picture—all together.

Hace poco, los premios FIAP dieron lugar a cuatro días de charlas, rondas de preguntas y hallazgos sobre publicidad y comunicación.

Si no estás familiarizado con FIAP (Festival Iberoamericano de Publicidad), es uno de los eventos creativos líderes en Latinoamérica, llevado a cabo en Buenos Aires donde se encuentra una de nuestras oficinas. La edición de este año se destacó por varios oradores, como Sir Martin Sorrell de S4 Capital y el fundador de MediaMonks, Wesley ter Haar.

Uno de los temas recurrentes a lo largo de la conferencia fue las dificultades que las marcas enfrentan a la hora de usar data de manera efectiva, creativa y económica. Si esto te suena conocido, ponte al día con estas grandes ideas sobre las posibilidades que la data te brinda.

FIAP-SMS

Los presupuestos son ajustados, y la necesidad de contenido sigue aumentando.

“Hoy en día necesitas más por menos. Hay una demanda constante de contenido, pero los presupuestos se están reduciendo”. – Wesley ter Haar

En su charla, cuyo título en inglés, “Ten Techtonic Trends”, suena a trabalenguas, Wesley ter Haar mostró que los presupuestos de marketing tuvieron su auge en el 2016, y el año siguiente comenzaron a caer. A pesar de los presupuestos estancados y limitados, la necesidad de contenido sigue creciendo, así como la necesidad de brindar experiencias más personalizadas y customizadas. Y si eso no suena lo suficientemente difícil, el reto se magnifica por una explosión de nuevos medios: experiencias de realidad aumentada o virtual, videos en vivo, videos de 360 grados y más. Quienes temen quedarse fuera de la próxima gran plataforma pueden llegar a buscar, apurados, contenido para cada una, pero esto puede ser difícil; tanto para organizar como para costear. Cuando se produce tanto contenido para tantas plataformas diferentes, es fácil que todo se sienta un poco desconectado. Por eso es importante cambiar tu mentalidad y marco de referencia (entérate cómo más abajo).

Desarrollar recursos a escala es un modo de saciar el hambre de contenido. Es un proceso y un marco de referencia creativo que implica desarrollar cientos, miles y/o quizás millares de piezas únicas; destinadas a segmentos hiperespecíficos en tu mercado con sólo un puñado de piezas de contenido. Pero ¿cómo pueden las organizaciones hacer esto de un modo económico? La respuesta está en cambiar su modo de pensar, lo cual nos lleva a nuestra próxima gran idea:

Las marcas deben integrar data y métricas a lo largo del proceso creativo, no sólo al final.

“La data es información, y la información es poder. Lo que hace la diferencia es interpretarla y saber cómo usarla… y usarla como base para crear algo”. – Eva Santos

Santos mencionó una idea clave del FIAP: que relegar la data y métricas al final del ciclo creativo es obsoleto. Al contrario, las agencias deben incorporar data en todos los pasos del proceso creativo. Sir Martin Sorrell tuvo un mensaje similar cuando dijo que “La data va a sustentar lo creativo y va a dictar la planificación de los medios. Los van a mejorar, no a empeorar”.

Monk Thoughts La data va a sustentar lo creativo y va a dictar la planificación de los medios. Los van a mejorar, no a empeorar”.
Headshot of Sir Martin Sorrell

Sir Martin Sorrell usó el ejemplo de las recomendaciones de Netflix, que destacan los posters y trailers dinámicos hechos a la medida para las preferencias únicas de la audiencia. Es fácil ver cómo esto vuelve irresistible el contenido, pero también es un modo inteligente y económico de generar un montón de entregables con una cantidad pequeña de piezas: con tan sólo 115 escenas y 3 animaciones de intro, puedes crear casi 1.5 millones de piezas de contenido.

FIAP-Wesley AAS

Pero esto también requiere repensar un poco tu estrategia. Los recursos a escala dependen de los marcos de referencia de contenido provistos de variables dinámicas. Así que en vez de desarrollar una pieza de contenido diferente por segmento o por interés, simplemente desarrollas un marco de referencia que puedes utilizar para testear, escalar y crear más contenido sin costos adicionales.

La demografía ha muerto; vivan las preferencias.

“La información demográfica no nos da nada, todo está en las preferencias de los usuarios.” – Wesley ter Haar

Malas noticias: los datos demográficos como geografía, edad o género han muerto. Buenas noticias: con la tecnología de hoy, brindar servicios basados en las preferencias del usuario ha ganado terreno. Ter Haar elabora sobre la idea en su charla al darnos un ejemplo. Supongamos que una chica joven en la costa oeste ama Breaking Bad. Tiene muchos más gustos en común con otros fans del programa—como un hombre más grande en Kentucky que también está obsesionado con él—que con otras chicas en su comunidad que odian el programa.

El próximo campo de batalla es la personalización y el contexto, lo cual significa que tanto las marcas nuevas como con legado deberán revisar sus estrategias de data para mantenerse en la cima. Y las apuestas son grandes: Adobe pronostica que $800 billones irán tan sólo al 15% superior de las empresas que logran acertar la fórmula. Eso hace que sea más importante ahora que nunca tener una estrategia de data efectiva.

#FIAP2018 terminó, pero aquí tenemos cuatro ideas sobre cómo la data está transformando las tendencias y cambiando las reglas del juego.

Recently, the FIAP Awards kicked off for four days of talks, Q&As and insights on advertising and communications.

If you’re not familiar with FIAP (Festival Iberoamericano de Publicidad), it’s one of the leading creative events in Latin America, hosted in Buenos Aires and home to one of our offices. This year’s edition featured several key speakers including Sir Martin Sorrell of S4 Capital and MediaMonks founder Wesley ter Haar.

One of the recurring themes throughout the conference was the challenges brands face in using data effectively, creatively affordably. If this sounds relatable, get up to speed on these big ideas surrounding the opportunities that data affords.

FIAP-SMS

Budgets are tight, and the appetite for content isn’t slowing down.

“Nowadays you need more for less. There’s a constant need for content, but budgets are getting smaller.” – Wesley ter Haar

In his tongue-twisting talk “Ten Techtonic Trends,” Wesley ter Haar pointed out that marketing budgets peaked in 2016, only to fall the following year. Despite stagnant and decreasing budgets, the drive for content is always increasing as is the demand to provide more personalized, custom experiences. And if that doesn’t sound difficult enough, the challenge is expounded by an explosion of new forms of media: AR/VR experiences, live video, 360-degree video and more. Those in fear of missing out on the next big media platform might scramble to develop content for each, but this can be difficult to afford and organize. When producing so much content for so many different platforms, it’s easy for everything to feel a bit disconnected. That’s why it’s important to switch up your mentality and framework (find out how below).

Developing assets at scale is one way to satiate the growing hunger for content. It’s a process and creative framework that involves developing hundreds, thousands or maybe billions of unique assets tailored to hyper-specific segments in your market with only a handful of pieces of content. But how can organizations pull it off affordably? The answer lies in changing their way of thinking, which brings us to our next big idea:

Brands must integrate data and analytics throughout the creative process, not just at the end.

“Data is information, and information is power. What gives you the difference is to interpret it and know how to use it … and use it as a basis to create something.” –Eva Santos

Santos touched upon a key idea from FIAP: that relegating data and analytics to the end of the creative cycle is obsolete. Instead, agencies must incorporate data into every step of the creative process. Sir Martin Sorrell had a similar message when he said: “Data will inform creative and it will inform media planning. It will make them better, it won’t make them worse.”

Monk Thoughts Data will inform creative and it will inform media planning. It will make them better, not worse.
Headshot of Sir Martin Sorrell

Sir Martin Sorrell used the example of Netflix recommendations, which surface up customized posters and dynamic trailers tailored to audiences’ unique preferences. It’s easy to see how this makes content compelling, but it’s also a smart and economical way to generate tons of assets with relatively few pieces to begin with: with just 115 scenes and 3 intro animations, you could make almost 1.5 million pieces of content.

FIAP-Wesley AAS

But this requires a bit of rethinking your strategy, too. Assets at scale rely on content frameworks punctuated with dynamic variables. So rather than developing a different piece of content per segment or interest, you simply develop a framework which you can use to test, scale and create more content without an added cost.

Demographics are dead; long live preferences.

“Demographic information doesn’t give us anything, it’s all about the users’ preferences.” – Wesley ter Haar

Bad news: demographics like geography, age or gender are dead. Good news: with today’s technology, delivering on user preferences is king. Ter Haar elaborates on the idea in his talk by giving us an example. Consider a young girl on the west coast who loves Breaking Bad. She has much more taste in common with other fans of the show—like an older man in Kentucky who’s also obsessed with it—than with other girls in her community who hate the show.

The next big battleground is personalization and context, which means both new and legacy brands will need to revise their data strategies to stay on top. And the stakes are high:  Adobe predicts that $800 billion will go to the top 15% of companies alone who get the formula right. That makes now more important than ever to get an effective data strategy in place.

#FIAP2018 has come and gone, but it’s not too late to gain some insights from the conference. Here are four big ideas on how data is shaking things up and changing the game.

Remembering Our Most Amazing, Mondo MMoments of 2018

To say that 2018 has been a big year for MediaMonks—or the industry in general—is an understatement.

New platforms have emerged, the role of partners is ever-changing and we’ve even invited a true British Knight into the Monks’ order. It’s a lot to digest, but stopping there would just be putting a cap on the tip of the iceberg. That’s why we’re taking a breather to reflect on some of the biggest moments on this wild ride of a year.

Making the List

It’s not the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but Main Monks Victor Knaap and Wesley ter Haar are among good company on Ad Age’s 2018 list of Creativity All-Stars. Rubbing elbows with the likes of superstars and important social movements like March for Our Lives, we’re perhaps most excited to be recognized on the same list as Gritty, the Phildelphia Flyers’ mascot whose unapologetically unconventional manner made him into cultural internet icon. But we’re also keen to say “hi” to our new San Francisco neighbors on the list like Quip and Slack. Let’s grab lunch together sometime—we’ll go Dutch.

We Had a Little Help from Our Friends

We’ve long been a creative partner to some of the biggest names in tech, and this year we continued to strive to make the industry better through that work. This year, we tackled one of our most visible creative projects yet: celebrating Google’s 20th anniversary with a birthday Google Doodle. The lengthy doodle chronicled top queries from around the world over the past two decades in different styles. Arguably the most important and influential page online, we were proud to showcase a diverse body of work there.

But that wasn’t our only collaboration that had us starry-eyed: at the 2018 Cannes Lions festival, we worked with Ogilvy to produce two immersive experiences for Google’s new ARCore platform, which breathed new life into two old campaigns. Having had the chance to celebrate the existence of such an influential company and present our work together at the festival of creativity, we can strike a few items off our bucket list.

Busy as Bees

We’re all abuzz in welcoming MightyHive to the S4 Capital family, which grew rapidly over the course of the year. By working together and cross-pollinating our capabilities, we’re both better equipped to navigate our partners through a shifting media landscape with end-to-end solutions from start to finish. The state of advertising today is “about defining the core concept,” says ter Haar, “and then executing the very best creative in a way that’s contextual to the touch-point and channel it’s being seen on.” This means MediaMonks and MightyHive joining forces is a deal that’s sweet as honey for everyone.

Saying ¡Hola! to Mexico

We started the year on a good foot by taking a step below the border to our Mexico City office. Opening right on the lush, sun-soaked Amsterdam Ave in the heart of hip and trendy La Condesa, our current home is actually the third to house our Mexico City team, which grew faster this year than anyone anticipated. With the new-found ability to produce more authentic content for the region, we celebrated the Day of the Dead in collaboration with Mexican beer brand Victoria through a beautiful reimagining of Aztec mythology. Our short film depicted a descent to the underworld with beautiful, dreamlike choreography and was the first native-language TVC to air in Mexico. Here’s to many more firsts in the next year. ¡Vamonos!

We Walked a Mile in Others’ Shoes

We’re honored whenever we’re given the opportunity to contribute our efforts to important social issues, and we’re proud to say that this year we launched a few. One is the Uncensored Playlist, an important project that fights censorship by translating news stories into music, which is then distributed on major music streaming platforms. We made another powerful project in collaboration with Santander and Heading Home, an organization providing support for the homeless in the Greater Boston area. In Someone Else’s Shoes uses augmented reality to put viewers face-to-face with the reality of modern homelessness, in which one of every four homeless people are employed. AR is usually championed as a way to allow for fun or collaborative experiences that were never possible before; with this project, we were able to explore the technology’s potential to build empathy and understanding with a unique interactive performance.

Welcome to Our (Not So) Secret Lab

It’s every kid’s dream to reign over a lab like a mad scientist, so we made our own. Shortly after our merge with S4 Capital, we donned our lab coats and put together MediaMonks Labs, a research and development team designed to prototype and explore emerging technology before it goes mainstream. While a lot of the work is strictly hush-hush, we can share at least one cool project with you: we worked with UNICEF to develop a large-scale hologram display at the 73rd UN General Assembly. Following the story of a young girl seeking to build a brighter future, the 3D animation projected mid-air left an unforgettable mark in viewers’ minds.

unicefhologram2

We Did It, Reddit!

One of our most well-received projects this year is a digital, 3D car configurator that lets users build and customize a Genesis G70, then see their changes rendered in real-time. Having impressed one of the toughest crowds online (Reddit was highly impressed with the level of detail—who thought opening a glove compartment could bring about so much delight?), we’re proud to invite you to take this one for a spin. Once they’re finished experimenting, users can request a quote and have their configuration saved to the Genesis back-end, allowing for a simple purchase while generating leads for the dealers. It shows what happens when you marry live data, business logic and cost-efficient global production to realize a project from start to finish.

We Had Lots of Fun

With so much work to do over the year, we set aside some time to let loose and have some good, clean fun. Just in time for football season, we worked with Wieden+Kennedy to lather up a custom-built football stadium made from 3,000 liters of Old Spice foam. Broadcast live to YouTube and Twitch, our slippery Foamzone gameshow challenged contestants to overcome six wacky obstacle courses. We also trapped ghost hunters in Winchester Mystery House, the largest haunted mansion in the US, to produce a live and interactive horror film directed by acclaimed director Jason Zada and streamed over Twitter and Periscope. And just in time for the holidays, we elfed ourselves—and you can too with our new Elf Yourself selfie lens made in collaboration with Office Depot. Happy holidays!

Following a merge with Sir Martin Sorrell's S4 Capital, 2018 was a big year for MediaMonks. From expanding our capabilities, announcing new offices and achieving even bigger stunts than last year, there's a lot we have to celebrate and be thankful for. Remembering Our Most Amazing, Mondo MMoments of 2018 2018 was a doozy to say the least, so we’re taking a moment to count our blessings. Pop the champagne and celebrate with us!
