00:00 - 00:25 "We talk a lot about how creative is really important in the advertising world, and it is, and I don't want to downplay it at all, but I actually am going to take the step back and say messaging is going to be even more important because we're going to enter into that stage where because we can't target as well as we used to be able to, we'll have to create creative that resonates with the audience we want it to and doesn't resonate with the audience we don't want it to."— Samir Balwani
