At Kitcatt Nohr Digitas, we have long been fascinated by the power of ideas. So we have developed an exclusive new series with Campaign magazine called ‘Talking Inspiration’. Presented by our very own CEO, Marc Nohr, the interviews explore the most personal and powerful creative influences on leaders who have enjoyed outstanding success in the business of ideas. Our second guest is Sir Peter Bazalgette, one of the UK’s most influential creative leaders. A pioneer in the evolution of the UK’s independent television production sector, Sir Peter was the creative force behind Endemol – the producers of a string of hit TV formats, including Big Brother, and has recently become Chairman of the Arts Council England. Sir Peter explores his most personal and powerful creative influences and examines how inspiration can be harnessed within creative organisations. He also reflects on the vibrancy of the arts scene in the UK, celebrating what he says will be remembered as a creative ‘renaissance’ in the early 21st century. So, if you believe in the power of ideas, why not Talk Inspiration with us?

“Advertising’s content ambition is limited by

its 30 second mindset.” Bazalgette claims that although advertising and TV are moving

closer, adland still lacks the capacity to create

credible long-form content.

Bazalgette claims agencies understand

the ad revenue potential of interactive

TV better than broadcasters. Data

collected from second screen usage could have

‘immense financial significance’ for broadcasters.
