Session 3

Video at the Tipping Point

These days, it feels like it’s TV against digital. The new against the old, or the broad against the targeted. But the truth is, we need to find balance between broad based awareness and targeted conversations in order to succeed. The future of video is a cross-functional one where video innovation requires blurred lines between the dividing parties, smart storytelling, and audience engagement across every screen. This session will explore the next phase for video and how digital-obsessed advertisers, in the search for the perfectly targeted consumer, can exploit changes in viewership to understand where they are, where they are coming from and where they are headed next.

Session 7

Big Data and Creative Industries

Prof Telang will talk about the role of data analytics in creative industries. One of the arguments he makes in his book (“Streaming Sharing Stealing---“, co-authored by Michael Smith) is how the role of customer level data analytics is providing firms like Amazon, Netflix and Google a competitive advantage over traditional firms. However, data analytics is not limited to just distribution, promotion and pricing of content. Firms will be using data for greenlighting a particular project or may decide on which content to create. How will data analytics co-exist with creative output?
