This document discusses the history and evolution of advertising and creativity. It notes that post-World War II, creativity became more important as competition and choices increased. Bill Bernbach led a creative revolution in advertising by putting copywriters and art directors together and focusing on creativity over mediocrity. Modern advertising creativity involves multiple roles working together to create content, utility and earn attention by entertaining, inspiring and informing audiences. While messages are still important, many creative works are participatory, interactive and shareable platforms. Good ideas that inspire action and get remembered will still earn attention.
