      From "Lemon." (IPA, 2019): Creative effectiveness is in decline. The "effectiveness multiplier" for creatively awarded work has fallen, and campaigns produce fewer large business effects - with the book’s thesis that advertising’s turn to flat, abstract, left-brain styles is the cause and will keep suppressing effectiveness until the style changes.

      IPA databank follow-ups and System1’s own testing kept documenting weak business effects from the dominant flat/abstract ad style; pairs with Field’s crisis report and Binet’s death-spiral warning. (Date shown is month-accurate.)
