Evolving Role of Planning at APG

Guy Murphy, Global Planning Director, JWT chaired the judging committee at this year's APG Creative Strategy Awards. In his article in Campaign, he sights examples from various APG entries in this year's competition to elicit the evolving role of Planning as a function in the industry.
Through the various APG entries he illustrates the various functions that planning has adorned in agencies across the world; from the Content planners at Mother to the Channel planners of McCann Erickson, from Cultural Planning at JWT Mumbai to BBH's brand of Behovioural Planning for Axe, Japan, planners seem to have done it all.
