在戛纳国际创意节的第五天，Impact BBDO MENAP CCO Ali Rez、CCO Amy Ferguson、
Impact BBDO,TBWA\Chiat\Day New York CCO Amy Ferguson和 Droga5 CCO Scott Bell，三位首席创意官分享了广告行业面临的挑战。
疫情下的经验教训
Ali Rez谈到了他从疫情中学到的东西。其中令他印象深刻的是联合利华Hindustan作品的 ‘H for Handwashing’。
他说：“在疫情期间，这个行业可以创造很多美的东西。我们也吸取了很多教训。有些很显然，比如我们如何找到远程工作的方式。然后，我们看到了联合利华的 ‘H for Handwashing’作品。很多这样的营销活动都注重同理心和真实性。现在，我们在如何与受众交流方面更加真实。”
用创造力改变企业
Scott Bell指出，企业必须关注创意团队，因为他们是“问题解决者”。
他说：“在Droga5，我们总是说创造力帮助客户实现超越。很多时候，我们只是将创造力应用于传播领域，可以把它应用于客户业务的任何一部分，让创造力更有效。客户来找我们是为了让他们的生意更有未来感，同时帮助他们解决气候变化等问题。说到底，创意人是解决问题的人。有创意的人无法解决问题会失眠。所以要发挥创意来改变企业，而不是仅仅是做广告。”
（At the end of the day, creatives are just problem solvers. A creative won’t sleep until the problem is solved. Droga5 CCO的说法你同意吗？）
代理商的客户关系
Amy Ferguson将代理商与客户合作的不同阶段与情侣恋爱关系的发展进行了比较。
她说：“长期关系的秘诀是尊重。代理商和客户关系就像约会。一开始，你可能会感到尴尬和紧张。接下来，你们相互了解彼此的怪癖。然后，如果你们在一起，可以达到奇妙的境地并互相承诺。此后，可以找到更有洞察力的策略并发挥创造力。长久的关系能帮助你达成目标。”
每位CCO还参与了快问快答，现将原文分享如下：
