On the Mic with Ad Results Media

Best practices have a tendency to rule our life, even if you don’t always notice them. There’s the best way to load the dishwasher. There’s the best way to compose an email. There’s the best way to approach an advertising campaign…But what if what we consider to be best practices are actually hindering us? Utilizing a “one size fits all” approach puts a limit on critical thinking and creativity and when it comes to advertising and creator content, what’s good for the goose definitely isn’t always good for the gander.In this episode of On the Mic, host Lindsay Smith is joined by Creative Director, Tony Carnevale, and Associate Account Director, Andrea Schwarzbach to discuss best practices, when they’re appropriate, and when we should toss them out the window.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/proven-practices-process-stan-garfield/ - Proven Practices Process: Don't call it "best practice"​https://anotheridea.substack.com/p/i-hate-best-practices?showWelcome=true - I Hate Best Practices by Tony Carnevale
