The spread of dangerous misinformation online has been brought into sharp focus during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent vaccine rollout. So much so, an Imperial College London study found that misinformation online had led to a decrease in vaccine intent among 6.2% of people in the UK and 6.4% in the US.

So with the spread of misinformation online putting people’s lives in danger, what can be done to stop it? In the inaugural episode of “The Good, The Bad and The Advertising” -- a new show where we ask, if the world was our client, what would the brief be? -- hosts Amy Williams (CEO of Good-Loop), Timothy Armoo (CEO at Fanbytes) and Dino Myers-Lamptey (Founder at The Barber Shop) mull over the dangers, and how ghost-busting, memes, and even game shows could be the answer to shifting the narrative.

Isolation, anxiety, loneliness -- the COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on our mental health. So much so, many experts are predicting there will be a second pandemic -- a mental health crisis. So what can be done to prevent it?

In Episode 2 of The Good, The Bad and The Advertising -- the show where we ask, if the world were our client, what would the brief be? -- Amy, Dino, and Tim look at the issue from the view of business owners. They ask how the advertising industry can help reduce the inevitable and whether forced time-outs for grown ups, zoom calls on beaches and buying crypto at four in the morning might be the answer.

Is Adland suffering from a crisis of creativity? Is it symptomatic of the modern age? And what can be done to fix it?

That’s the topic under discussion in the latest episode of The Good, The Bad and The Advertising, where hosts Amy and Dino are joined by special guest Jack Horner.

Jack has worked in both the advertising sector and as music producer in the 90s, so it's safe to say he knows his stuff. Jack also more recently founded DOT DOT DOT, a community of founders and leaders in culture, creative and comms.

Together they discuss the crisis of creativity in a modern age, or the lack thereof. When creative work is more accessible than ever before and sharing platforms are for the masses, does this increase the value of work? Or dilute the quality we consume? And once again, the hosts will chat about how advertising can help solve these issues or, indeed, hinder them.
