37 Why should we be doing this? Just to reiterate Jim Russell, director of digital strategy at McKinney, says: A great idea starts with understanding of the best ways to bring brand and consumer together. And digital and social are inevitable parts of that conversation. Ultimately, integrated campaigns will become valuable for everyone: Marketers will get more bang for their media buck. Agencies will get to explore new worlds of advertising creativity. Consumers will get more visible value from brands.
