Are these three so different or is it in the eye of the beholder? . . Is using words to influence others always suspect? .... . At the heart of it, does successful persuasion show a deep understanding of human nature, a willingness to seduce, or both? . . . Our guests Ben Welsh, Martin McKenzie Murray and Associate Professor Darryl O’Donnell talk about their experiences inside the world of ads, AIDS and politics what they love, what drives them to despair and where they see it all going.

06.01.2022 PR, PROPAGANDA, PERSUASION - July 3rd || MEET THE SPEAKERS || Ben Welsh head creative at DDB Australia Australia, one of Australia’s leading advertising agencies. . . He has worked on just about every category you can imagine, including three of the major four Australian banks and he’s won most things worth winning. .... . His inspiration is the reader, the viewer, the listener and the clicker; our raison d’etre, who for the most part, is bored, insulted and uninspired by what our industry produces. How come the IQ of our audience is assumed to drop as soon as it’s a commercial message within the medium? Growing up in England, Ben had dreams of being a doctor, a philosopher and a marine biologist. . . He settled on the latter. Then, having met the love of his life while studying for a Masters at Cambridge, he turned to the bottle having decided that a career in the wine business would be fun. Before long he found himself in Australia doing a vintage at Mount Mary in the Yarra Valley. Three years later he was working in an advertising agency. Fast forward a few years and Ben became Executive Creative Director at M&C Saatchi, Australia’s biggest advertising agency, and went on to head creative for the network across Asia. . .
