The 2024 #Oscar nominations just dropped, and I’m not going to lie: as a cinephile, I look forward to this day every year. And every year, I make it a goal to watch all the nominated films. I've ticked off a few so far, but still have quite a bit of ground to cover before the Academy rolls out the red carpet next month.
As a lifelong communicator and someone who's been in the #marketing game for a (long) while, today’s announcement has got me thinking: these films are the best of the best in Hollywood, but they’re not just about entertainment; they're masterclasses in creating captivating narratives, sparking emotions, and gripping audiences around the world. It strikes me how similar this is to what we do in marketing, albeit on a less glamorous stage. We weave narratives, evoke emotions, and strive to connect deeply with our audience.
So, here's a thought: If films like ‘Oppenheimer,’ ‘Barbie,’ ‘Poor Things,’ or my personal favorites (so far), ‘Rustin,’ and 'The Holdovers' can captivate global audiences, what can we, as marketers, learn from the way these filmmakers bring a story to life? Maybe it's the art of building suspense that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats or the way they bring to life characters (read: brands) that audiences want to root for?
Which Oscar-nominated film do you think really nails it when it comes to storytelling?

Because #innovation is a topic that's near and dear to our hearts: fostering an innovation-driven culture is essential to our daily work. 💡💼
In the dynamic landscape of business today, innovation isn't just a buzzword – it's the key to unlocking unprecedented growth and staying ahead of the curve!
At EY, we recognize that innovation isn't confined to the R&D department; it must permeate every facet of our work. 🌐📈

In a world of constant change, cookie-cutter solutions fall short. Nurturing an innovation mindset empowers us to tailor our strategies to meet the unique needs of each client.

The only constant is change, and by fostering a culture of innovation, we equip ourselves to tackle emerging challenges head-on, adapting and evolving as industries shift.
