Jake Bester, Creative Director for Big Wednesday, comments on the alignment and why he hopes it will establish Big Wednesday as a serious player in the integrated arena: "It takes a special kind of thinking to come up with an idea that spans multiple media. Digital brings this type of thinking to life as it allows different channels to easily speak to each other. As an agency, we embrace the use of digital because it makes our offering that much more effective in two ways. Firstly, it's the glue that binds our thinking in different media segments together and secondly, because it allows us to measure our success and therefore the ROI for our clients."
Bester went on to add that this approach to advertising is what will ultimately distinguish, most importantly Big Wednesday's client's brands, but themselves as an agency as well. "This attitude illustrates exactly what Big Wednesday stands for, distinguishing yourself from everybody else, rather than just fading into the crowd."
