Contagious acts like a creative early warning system.
Our quarterly magazine identifies the ideas, trends and innovations behind the world's most revolutionary marketing strategies. The accompanying DVD showcases over 60 pieces of high quality creative work sourced globally. Each campaign is presented in a 'challenge/solution/results' format, which analyses the effectiveness of these innovative marketing solutions.
70% of entries shortlisted for Titanium & Integrated shortlist at Cannes Lions 2009 had already been featured in Contagious.
