Digital and social media have rocked the advertising industry. When it takes only ‘one-click’ to create a Facebook ad for your brand, who is really driving the creative bus?

Capstrat’s Chief Creative Officer, Todd Coats, speaks to the changing landscape for creative professionals tomorrow at the Ad Club of the Triangle’s annual Creative Director’s Panel. Top creative leaders from local agencies will discuss the current state of creative and how the traditional agency creative model is changing.

“Social media can be much more engaging than advertising,” says Todd Coats, Capstrat Chief Creative Officer. “I’m excited to join this panel with other local creative leaders to explore ways we can make advertising more engaging and memorable.”

Additional panelists include: David Baldwin from Baldwin&; Billy Barnes from Howard Merrell & Partners; Bob Kochuk from Jennings and Robert Shaw West with The Republik.

The event is at Marbles Museum on Wednesday, September 22 from 11:30 – 1:30. Please visit www.aaf-rdu.org for more information.
