CO Ad Day Theme: The Marathon Mindset
In the relentless race of modern advertising, success isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon. In this industry, winning demands grit, preparation, and a focus on the long game...even when the finish line keeps moving. It’s about logging every mile along the way—from honing strategies and flexing creative muscles to embracing the uphill climb of innovation. The marathon mindset means thinking of every brief as a training session, every campaign as a milestone, and every insight as fuel for the journey ahead. So, lace up and join us as we learn how to outpace the competition by building endurance, staying strides ahead of trends, and crafting campaigns that go the distance. After all, greatness isn't just about reaching the finish line—it’s about the grind that gets you there.

The time has come to join us at The Fifty. You’ve likely submitted at least one idea to The Fifty. Now you’re dying to know what feelings it’s stirred up in our judges. Hopefully, it made them green with envy. Better yet, hopefully, it’ll make everyone burn with jealousy as other attendees gaze upon it wistfully, wishing they’d thought of it first.
But that’s just an excuse. A cover for the real reason to come. There will be other winners, too. Those with ideas just as powerful, as original, as envy-inducing. Ideas that beg to be stolen and used as “inspiration” when the time calls for it. So don’t deny yourself. Your next big idea is waiting. Register Now…
