Go Big or Go Home

How ‘small thinking’ is killing advertising and what to do about it

Go Big or Go Home by Les Binet and Will Davis challenges the marketing industry’s growing obsession with efficiency and short-term tactics, arguing that this “small thinking” is undermining long-term effectiveness and profit.

Drawing on IPA Databank evidence, industry research and real-world case studies, the report provides a practical framework for balancing brand and performance activity, optimising media and creative strategies and setting budgets based on profit rather than ROI.

This publication makes a compelling case for thinking bigger in an increasingly fragmented, AI-driven media landscape. This is essential reading for marketers seeking to drive sustainable growth through effectiveness rather than efficiency.
