Welcome to Day 1 of Ad Age’s special edition Advertising Week newsletter.
Whether you’re attending in-person at Hudson Yards or from the comfort of your home office, many marketers will likely be glad to see the return of Advertising Week New York. One of the biggest ad industry events has returned, at least partially in-person, after 18 months of COVID-19 cancellations, logistical nightmares and virtual-only presentations. And from a new socially-distanced venue to complimentary fries at Shake Shack (more on that later), the annual event has made its almost-post-pandemic comeback.
With more than 100 panels over the course of this week spanning everything from NFTs to diversity, equity and inclusion, Ad Age will bring you the biggest takeaways in our special edition newsletter. Here’s our recap of day one.
