OUR MANIFESTO  

What happened to media? Why are so many plans devoid of real thinking and real and even contrarian points of view. Where is the individual and critical thinking that clients desperately need and want? Why are so many brands saying similar things in similar places? Media has become mindless.  

How did we get here? It’s easy to blame technology, but technology’s not the problem – it’s how we’ve been using it. We’ve let advanced automation turn us into automatons, mindless media zombies managing push button platform solutions. Most of the tools we are using are the same and we’re wondering why it’s so hard to make a difference. We’ve become addicted to automation, and we risk becoming an industry on autopilot.  

At Mediahub we have a different perspective. We embrace automation but reject autopiloted solutions. We harness the power of artificial intelligence but keep human judgment in the cockpit. We develop and celebrate people who take technologies to new heights. People who refuse to run a race to the bottom. People who love the practice of media and believe that people should drive technology and not the other way around. People who believe that one size never fits all. Mediahub is a home for pilots not passengers.  

Mediahub pilots challenge everything, including ourselves, constantly questioning until we find a better way. It’s why we piloted a predictive demand generation model, pioneered new metrics built on social traction & attention and built an imaginative culture of outstanding people that have won accolades from independent sources across the marketing and media landscape.  

 

If you believe media should be more than mindless. We’re your hub. We’re Mediahub. Less auto, more pilot.
