What’s the New What?

For a while now, we've said, "media is the new creative."

Meaning that, due to the number of options available to reach the targets nowadays,
it takes an informed and creative mind to deliver the most effective and efficient media plans.

For a while, I've said, "If the creative is strong enough, the media is free."
Meaning if the message is interesting enough for it to go viral, the cost of distribution is free.

I recently heard someone say it more succinctly.

"Creative is the new media.
Media is the new creative."

This may seem like rhetoric or just semantics.
However, we might think of it as way to frame the opportunities offered by the new world we live in.

bombast, propaganda...but if you have a great product then nothing else is necessary. The BEATLES white album, 1968. double album, grey letters, white cover, sold 30 million units, 19x platinum, Number 1 in the UK and US. One of the all time best selling double album. All it said on the cover was The BEATLES.
