MMA SA Forum 2018 "ACCELERATE: Mobile Marketing's Future"Agenda

The 2018 MMA SA’s Forum looks to the future: what are the big drivers that will shape our industry, how does AI affect what we do, when do we look through a design lens? We discuss it all.

We live in a world of constant and aggressive change. Consumers have more power than ever and it’s up to us as marketers to engage them in a meaningful and relevant way.

Our speakers are experts in their specialist fields. We have 4 international guests and 9 local thought leaders. They take us through projections, reflections and key learnings – all to guide us into 2019 armed with insight and intelligence.

The convergence of content, commerce and social is now well underway. From his position as a global app developer in the chat and content verticals, Adam explores what comes next for a digital economy that combines the need for huge scale but with an increasingly intimate and nuanced execution, and how this could effect South Africa and other emerging markets as the developed economies move toward an increasingly "post digital" age.

CEO Session: Ad Fraud Brand Safety and Viewability

Ad fraud & brand safety still remain the biggest programmatic issues and are extremely important issues affecting every advertising and marketing professional today. However, transparency in mobile location data should be getting more attention. The biggest problem with regards to transparency? The lack of standardization across platforms. While DSP and SSP technologies continue to optimize programmatic media buying, they’ve also made true costs harder to pinpoint.

Zia Namooya, CEO of Mindshare and Daryl van Arkel, CEO of Vicinity Media tackle these hot topics and debate the requirements needed for brands to address viewability, ad fraud and brand safety, arming them with knowledge that ensures they can ask the right questions of their business partners.

*To receive a copy and hear the result of the MMA SA 2018 Brand Safety “ABV” Report on SA’s leading Marketers key concerns raised at the recent CMO workshop on Ad Fraud, Brand Safety and Viewability, don’t miss out on this session. All delegates will receive their complimentary copy at the event.

The Report will provide deeper insights into the local Brand Safety and viewability initiatives, addressing what brands, agencies and publishers must do collaboratively to combat Ad Fraud and ensure we're working towards 100% viewability model
