Description

“It’s not how fast you drive, it’s how late you brake.”

That’s just one of the perspective-shifting insights Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK, drops in this Marketing Masterclass with Jon Ratcliffe.

From the overlooked power of long-form copy to why YouTube has become the world’s customer support hotline, Rory unpacks the quirks of human behaviour, the role of creativity in an AI-driven world, and why occasional failure is proof you’re trying hard enough.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why efficiency metrics can’t replace true creativity

  • How breakthrough ideas often come from lucky accidents

  • Why video has become the dominant way people solve problems

  • The future value of human ingenuity in the age of AI

Witty, surprising, and packed with perspective-shifting ideas from one of advertising’s most original thinkers.
