This is not a Planning Department
Grey hold! s ‘strategy’ as key to gaining Famously Effective work for our clients. Strategy for us is the catalyst that will ignite a brand’s trajectory. This is based on a relentless quest to understand what matters in people’s lives as well as uncovering deep insights within the business/brand that can increase relevancy and engagement. To that end, the department is diverse both in life-stage and in background/ experience; within the team there are pioneers from when the planning discipline was first introduced to the US as well as pioneers within the Digital and Channel fields. With such a mix of talent, we decided not to talk of ourselves as a Planning Department because in actuality, we offer something that is fundamentally more robust and exciting than just a voice of a consumer… it’s an integrated department leveraging Media and Channel, Digital as well as Account Planning which means from the get-go, our insights are holistic, permeating a variety of platforms vs.! a tv-centric one.
The group is committed to continued experimentation and knowledge sharing. You’ll see this reflected in the weekly group sessions, industry talks, partnerships with the WPP MBA Fellowship Program, Miami Ad School and guest pieces for groundbreaking groups such as PSFK.
