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.

Advertisers have more choices than ever when deciding where to invest their media budgets.
