Boring Marketing Is Optional: Why Playing It Safe Is the Biggest Risk

When brands play it safe, they often end up invisible. Choosing safety over originality has created a sea of sameness in industries that could easily be labelled as “boring” and, ironically, it’s the biggest risk of all.

This engaging talk takes a step back and asks why creativity has come to feel so risky and what gets lost when we avoid it.
