Listen up! Programmatic Audio is Here to Stay

The proliferation of streaming services, smart devices, IoT, WiFi, and 4G has given consumers unprecedented access to music when they work, travel, exercise, eat – even as they shower and sleep. As programmatic takes hold of these on-demand and on-the-go streaming services, brand marketers have a new level of audio understanding beyond the songs, artists and playlists people are listening to -- they can determine what a person is doing, thinking or feeling at that very moment. This session will breakdown the future potential of programmatic audio advertising as a way to personally reach connected consumers in a sensory-specific environment.

Reimagining Mobile Advertising

Room 401-402
If we’re serious about building the best future for mobile advertising, then we need to refresh the rapidly aging approaches of the past. Mobile is more than a tactical way to deliver localized messages using legacy creative. Mobile is the ‘virtual shelf’ which influences a CPG purchase; it’s the moment of inspiration that drives a store visit; and it’s the experience that drives aspiration for a vehicle. This session will explore the creative experiences which can unlock mobile advertising’s potential, and the data and metrics which can optimize delivery and maximize performance against the KPIs that matter most to advertisers.​
