How Ad/Mar-Tech Fits In A (Return​​ To) Traditional Marketing

The Privacy-First era, ushered in by cookie-less browsing and stringent California legislation, is fundamentally reshaping the advertising industry. Our companies must maintain personalization without breaching consumer trust. Additionally, contextual advertising (and the value of premium content) is back on the front burner. In this session, we will get candid about what technologies you will need to bring to bear as you map and enhance your consumer’s journey.

The Marriage of Art and Commerce

AKA What is actually working in marketing today? Modern marketing fuses artistry and analytics. Data provides actionable insights, informing targeted, personalized campaigns, while creativity ensures emotional resonance…but great brands are not built on data strategies. How do you ensure art comes into play for the customer? What does this mean for creative development? Authenticity & reputation (eg Target’s recent). Brand vs Performance? How do you change the world?
