Davies blogs Account Planning Conference

Russell Davies (shown here), global consumer planning director at Nike, formerly of Wieden + Kennedy, is currently blogging the Account Planning Conference going on in Chicago. Early in the week, he wrote, “I hope everyone’s good because I’m not sure I’ll bring myself to say anything bad.” He hasn’t held back all criticism, though. In fact, while he’s enjoyed bits and pieces of the presentations, he says Mark Earls (of Ogilvy & Mather) and Malcolm Gladwell have been the only “significantly good” speakers.
