Steve Easterbrook
British Businessman
When we look at some of the greatest creative ideas we've come up with, they have originated literally from all corners of the world and have crossed all different types of media as well. So while there's still traditional TV, which is clearly a very compelling media, it's also cyber, mobile, outdoor.
