Our Global Chief Creative Officer Taj Reid held an Ignite Talk at WPP Beach titled "Main Mission Energy: The Pursuit of Understanding and Being Understood in a World Full of Side Quests."   Drawing inspiration from playing video games with his son, Taj shared how life often mirrors gaming—where we’re encouraged to focus on the main mission, but it’s the unexpected side quests that teach us empathy, creativity and resilience.   This serves as a reminder for brands hoping to make an impact and form connection: The most meaningful stories and connections often come from exploring the unexpected and embracing the full journey, not just the destination.
