David Weinstock, then chief creative officer at RF|Binder, discussed the evolving landscape of brand communication and content creation in a September 2019 interview at the Cannes Lions festival. He described the current period as "incredibly exciting" and "an awesome time to be in this industry," noting that brands can now communicate in "so many different ways" that are "being invented every single day." Weinstock said that the traditional advertising model has shifted, requiring openness to working with "fast nimble individuals" and production companies, as well as freelance content creators, particularly for video content. Weinstock also outlined his agency's approach to brand communication as a "drumbeat" that varies in intensity depending on timing and issues, citing Dunkin' Donuts as a client that communicates more actively around events like National Coffee Day. He emphasized that events and experiences have a "before during and after" structure, and that content created during an event "lives in perpetuity," enabling ongoing dialogue with attendees and viewers. Weinstock characterized this as a circular process with "no end," where brand advocacy is built through repeated engagement.
