Keynote: What does it take to win with Mobile Marketing

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” George Orwell’s allegory Animal Farm looks at absolute power corrupting absolutely. When Digital Marketing started, Mobile was a specialism. Now with Mobile being a synonym for Digital marketing, and Digital Marketing making a case for All Marketing, the time has come to put the power vested with Mobile in perspective. Vikram will reflect on how Mobile can be a powerful force for good versus the catalyst to a Dystopian world.

The Audio Surround Sound Panel

Audio bends around our lives, but that doesn’t mean it’s background noise. Those screen-free moments are frequently the most meaningful in our day. With music streaming and playlists in particular, we can match our every mood, mindset, and activity — our context — with exactly the right score. All of this is great news for advertisers looking to reach highly engaged audiences in an impactful way — audio’s ubiquity allows you to fill otherwise unreachable gaps in the consumer’s journey, while streaming’s emotional quotient means we’re receiving new signals about individuals’ real-life context. Plus, a fun side effect: if we’re listening on-the-go, we’re likely not stopping to mute a 15-second ad, and we’re certainly not walking away from the TV to cram in a chore during a commercial break.
