As the lines between paid, earned, and owned media (or, indeed, media and creative) continue to blur, the need to redefine how media is structured, integrated, and measured has never been greater.

Moderated by mediasense Chief Strategy Officer Ryan Kangisser, the discussion featured Sir Martin Sorrell (S4 Capital), Ron Amram (Mars), Olya Dyachuk (Heineken), and Ross Sergeant (Allwyn).
