Our industry has power and influence but we need lots of people to choose to use it. Will we grab this opportunity to help shape a society that puts people and our planet’s needs first? The Great Reset is a creative industry movement to embed the positive environmental shifts that have happened during lockdown as THE new normal.
We are at a historic tipping point. Covid-19 broke the world open, exposing parts of our collective reality that needed healing, beyond the pandemic emergency. Out of this experience we have the opportunity to “set again” on a grand scale – not because we were forced to, but because we chose to…This is becoming a prevalent priority for the business community as organisations, corporations and brands at large realise the urgent need to rethink systems in support of sustainable practices and the prioritisation of our collective wellbeing. The Great Reset is a call to harness this moment, to mobilise as a creative community and direct our significant power to shape the world we want to see.
On September 10th at 1pm The Great Reset Ireland team (a growing collective including individuals from THINKHOUSE, Folk Wunderman Thompson, Havas, Honey+Buzz, PHD Media, McCann Dublin and more) along with The Purpose Disruptors and IAPI, invite you to join The Great Reset Ireland online event and understand how you can start resetting yourself, your work and your impact.
As part of The Great Reset Ireland initiative Behaviour & Attitudes (B&A) has undertaken research to uncover the Irish perspective on people’s expectations of the ad industry, post-lockdown. The findings of this research will be shared on September 10th giving our industry the insights it needs to validate a Great Reset in our approach to our work.
This event is for those in the advertising, marketing, communications and creative industry who want to engage in meaningful conversation and action at this crucial moment. For people who are, like us, ready to make a personal choice at a moment when we have a beautiful opportunity for change. This choice will require clarity, courage, commitment - and, of course, creativity.
In advance of this, we are inviting you to take part in an industry-wide Great Reset survey to understand the appetite within the industry to ‘reset’ and if this matches that of the Irish people.
This will take just two minutes, please click here.
