•Last Wednesday, from 15.00 to 16.00 pm Eastern Time, Fernanda Romano was answering to our twitter's followers questions in real time. We have transcripted the interview for you!
Hope you enjoy it…
Ryan Thomas (@RyanTylerThomas)- How can we drive understanding of digital possibility within the traditional advertising community? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano (@fefaromano)- With training, better collaboration and new people joining the ranks of big agencies, it will get better. #WFCD
Ryan Thomas- How can we make this “help” symbiotic and sustainable? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano– There is the need for partnership between companies like Facebook or Google and the “traditional” guys. I also think there is the need for the “traditionalise” to commit at a very senior level to the new model. And I believe this will be driven by client needs. Look at the world’s biggest clients: they are signalling. As it hits the bottom line of “traditional” companies, we won’t need to talk about it anymore… #WFCD
Ryan Thomas- As Miles Nadal once said that the difference between digital consumption and spending was $50 billion for parity at zero growth.
Fernanda Romano- He is right. But this is changing. And fast. We are seeing clients shift big accounts and not even discuss with "tradicional" guys. This is a sign of change. #WFCD
Sophia Thomas (@Sophiia_Thomaas)– Which of your campaigns are you the most proud of? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- I am very proud of 'Let's color' for Dulux, 'Nokia' music recommenders and 'SpecialK'. #WFCD
AdWomen (@adwomen)– Which campaign did you do with more passion? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano– I put passion in everything I do. The work that moved me most so far was 'Let's color' for dulux at Eurorscg. #WFCD
Adwomen– Do you think winning awards is the most important thing to reach the top in the industry? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- No, not at all. Winning the client's respect and having solid work is the most important. #WFCD
Flaviafrancis (@flaviafrancis)- Good idea in the limited company mean short of funds. What can we do?
Fernanda Romano- You need to show everyone that the investment is worth it, with real examples and ROI. #WFCD
Ignacio Oreamuno (@ihaveanidea)– If you could go back and give advice to yourself 10 years ago what would you tell you? #WFCD
Nicolb (@nicolb)– Shut up & practice piano
Fernanda Romano- 🙂 I would say: don’t bother about the non-believers, always trust your gut and make friends outside of the ad world. #WFCD
AdWomen- You are going to be a part of the jury at Cannes Titanium, How does it feels? Not too many women in…#WFCD
Fernanda Romano- it feels awesome and a huge responsibility, of course. #WFCD
Flaviafrancis- The Asian market is growing incredibly. What is the difference? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- Between Brasil and Asia? #WFCD
Flaviafrancis- Yep! #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- Asia is massive and it’s very diverse. India and Japan are completely different from China and Singapore. it will always be different from Brasil… Now it is growing faster in some markets there mostly because they adopted technologies in a different way than Brasil did and there is no lobby against it there #WFCD
Sophia Thomas– Throughout your career you have worked in varies countries, which have you found to have the most interesting ad industry? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- The USA is very diverse and the companies are brave and fun to work with. But the UK is also very exciting. #WFCD
Christina Oflaherty (@WritesAlot)- What one piece of advice would you give women working in advertising right now? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- To make the most of the fact that women are more sensitive but not let sensitivity become a problem. #WFCD
Christina Oflaherty- A fine line, no? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- Yes, indeed. We should use sensitivity as a talent or skill and not as a gender label or a way to express ourselves. #WFCD
Stephanie Ortenzi (@PistachioWrites)- I feel overwhelmed by copy, content & language in advtg [& I’m a writer; crazy I know]. I crave more visual. Is it just me? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- No, not just you. A friend told me once the written word is very limited. He was right. #WFCD
Flaviafrancis- How ended up with conservatism without losing creativity? #WFCD
Fernanda Romano- Not sure there is a formula for anything. But creativity is what we use to solve problems. Always. #WFCD
