Announcing the seventy7 Disruptive Advertising Panel
Despite the word ‘disruption’ being thrown around as much as ‘millennials’ these days, we’d argue it still has an important role to play in the world of creative advertising and business growth.
Disruptive advertising is nothing new, but in recent years it’s taken off and shaken things up. It’s about raising awareness and changing perceptions. It’s about discussion.
Consumers have been talking about it and sharing it across social media. It raises awareness and questions accepted perceptions.
To join the discussion, we’ve set up an all-star panel for Drapers Fashion Forum 2017, you can follow the action and latest updates by searching #77disruption. We can’t wait to engage with these progressive people ahead of their fields.
We’re excited to welcome…

Disruptive marketing done well makes for highly shareable content. A disruptive ad is far more likely to go viral than one that doesn’t break the mould.
We’re expecting a fiery discussion with these fantastic panelists as we cover issues around authenticity, diversity, wellness and gender.
