F7-12·F7 — Communications Strategy

Integration: the communicator

The productive tension

ALL the false dichotomies of F7, synthesised

The synthesis

Every false dichotomy from F7-01 through F7-11 is laid out, the evidence for both sides is summarised, and the Both/And synthesis is presented as a coherent communications strategy philosophy. The Communicator does not choose between brand and activation, creative and media, emotion and information, digital and traditional, art and science. They hold the tensions, make them productive, and deploy them in sequence. This is the lecture that turns knowledge into a point of view.
