Quick answers

What did Michelle Campbell say at TechTO?

That technology alone is bad at ideas. She opened with Garry Kasparov, who lost to Deep Blue in 1997 and then ran an experiment showing that ordinary players working with ordinary computers beat the strongest chess machine — her argument for briefs that start from a human insight rather than from 'do something with VR'. TechTO MarketingTO, February 2019.

What is her role at Huge?

Group vice president of strategy, leading strategy first for Canada and then for a global team working with Google. That title comes from her One Club awards-jury biography, which carries no date, so it is recorded here as the role she held rather than as a present-day title.
