A provocative and fluent closing keynote at #ipgac from @lewisgoodall.com: populist politicians understand the value of a content strategy, where incumbents are still running an old fashioned comms strategy. “Authenticity: if you can fake that, you’ve got it made.”

"Have underheads, not overheads"

Grasp "hair on fire opportunities"
