Generic advertising needs a change of pace compared to the De Beers era. This will be an arduous challenge for the WDM, a challenge in many ways even bigger than the one faced by the Oppenheimers and Ayer & Son in the late ‘30s. The World of today is more complex than back then, and competition fr om alternative luxury products is fierce.
