The AdNews August edition has landed. Subscribe here to make sure you get your copy.

The August magazine has landed with an in-depth look at how the climate crisis is impacting the advertising sector and what agencies are doing in response.

We speak to big brands, such as Nick Connor, the managing director of Volvo Australia, to hear what brands want from their creative agencies.

We also hear from others, such as BWM Dentsu CEO Paul Williams, on the opportunities agencies have in dealing with the issue.

The feature also looks at activists that are starting to turn their focus on the advertising sector, such as Greenpeace Australia and Extinction Rebellion.

Taking on the cover this month is creative agency Host/Havas.

Here's what else is happening in the August edition:

Agenda
This month we leave the cities to focus on regional Australia. We speak to the players at Boomtown, an initiative aimed at directing more advertising dollars to regional areas.

Better Workplaces
We step into DDB New Zealand’s new office. The agency recently left its “Google-esque” offices in favour of a more “grown-up” space.
