Business Network Transformation
What Digital Is Doing to Marketing, Media, and Advertising

Digital content distribution is turning our world upside down. The question is—What are we supposed to do about it? Geoffrey Moore has spent his life helping clients deal with the impacts of this kind of disruptive innovation. In 2008, sponsored by SAP, he and his colleagues researched how business ecosystems transform to adapt to such changes. He shares insights from that research and how they apply to the world of marketing, media, and advertising.

We Need to Talk
The Trials and Tribulations of Healthy and Happy (Brand) Relationships

Part brand manager’s manifesto on the complexity of building enduring consumer relationships online and part “Dear John” letter to the digital agency, this session arms you with insights on how to be a better partner and collaborator with companies like Sony who are looking for more effective, efficient, and meaningful brand platforms.

This straightforward, honest presentation highlights the challenges and opportunities implicit in the relationship between brand and digital agencies, between brand and consumers, and between brand and the online universe beyond time and space.

Consumers in Control

Gaming’s transition to digital content platforms, mirroring the transitions of many content industries in recent history, has been a chronicle of opportunity and challenge, of risk and reward. More platforms and greater accessibility has led gaming’s audience to grow from 200 million to 1.5 billion in just 10 years—bringing with it dramatic changes in consumption patterns and more competition for consumers’ time.

Peter Moore—developer, marketer, and content publisher—shares insights on engaging consumers in today’s overcrowded world of content choices, translating those insights into learnings publishers can glean from the gaming world to reach audiences with measurable success.

California Dreamin'

Tom Bedecarré, the Chief Executive Officer of AKQA—the world’s largest independent full-service digital advertising agency—has been dubbed “Silicon Valley’s favorite ad man” by Fortune magazine because he’s a unique hybrid of marketing’s past and future. A Stanford graduate, he lives and works among the Valley’s hottest engineering-driven startups, but also maintains close ties with his Madison Avenue roots. An early leader of advertising’s second “creative revolution” who understands the power of words and images to change minds and shape lives, he’s got a tough message for the IAB ecosystem: If you're not infusing Madison Avenue creativity with Silicon Valley technology, you're toast.
