Journalist Isabelle Musnik, editor of The Gunn Report for Media, says, "The Gunn Report for Media 2015 proves that more than ever media innovation and creativity are key to brand success. Creativity and media are not mutually exclusive or even in competition - they interact with each other. While technology and data are fundamental to achieving results, it is insight, strategy and ideas that are essential to delivering them."
Isabelle added, "Media creativity is an effective and universal tool for brands to speak to consumers and to attain a brand's objectives by standing out in a crowded field of competitors. They have to blend technology, media and content to create a live brand experience that is easily accessible."
The Gunn Report Book and Showreel of the Year 2015 DVD will be available in mid-March and will include The Gunn Report for Media 2015.
