Fergus McCallum, Chief Executive Officer at TBWAMCR, joins us to talk about the comeback of humor in advertising. We dive into why brands moved away from funny campaigns, how humor can tackle sensitive topics, and what it takes to make a joke land without backfiring. Fergus shares examples from his work and insights on how humor is connecting with audiences again—especially as platforms and Gen Z shape the future of advertising.

We are joined by Kamal Bhandal, SVP of Global Invisalign Brand, Consumer & Americas Marketing, to explore how the modern “Chief Household Officer” is reshaping healthcare marketing.

It’s a conversation about where healthcare, marketing, and wellbeing are headed next.
