“In an information-rich world, the
wealth of information means a
death of something else: a
scarcity of whatever it is that
information consumes…it consumes
the attention of its recipients.
Hence a wealth of information
creates a poverty of attention.”

Individuals often do not know their own mind. Most thinking is automatic and frequently unchecked. During waking hours, the separation between mind and consciousness is not often discernible. The character of consciousness makes the mind both simple and complex at the same time. Simple in that if a person has awareness, they are in charge of what they are thinking, feeling, and doing. Complex in that seeming awareness is often compromised, clouded by an unconscious (subconscious) mind.

With her expertise in UX and design responsibility, she will walk the audience through a framework for a tactical accessibility workshop to make equitable design a priority for every team.

The cobbler’s children and their lack of shoes is an overused reference but so handy as a quaint way to say, ‘we’re too busy doing work for other people to focus on ourselves.’ When Tether was founded more than fourteen years ago, a temporary logo and website was hastily created in order to have something to make Tether look legitimate. And, you guessed it, that temporary logo and website became permanent for way too long. In this presentation, Steve will reveal the process and results of being a good client to ourselves as we created a new face for Tether, including a sneak peek of the new website that will go live in November.

There is a massive shift happening in the social and media space as GenZ and Younger Millennials are shifting their time and attention away from traditional social platforms and leaning into healthier, community-based options. The trust in news and influencers is on the decline, and this is changing the landscape quickly. From a brand perspective, all of the iOS and Android changes are forcing marketers to rethink targeting, audiences and shift toward interests, passions and other signals. These two forces (consumer and marketer shifts), along with the economy, are creating the most important inflection point for businesses and people in over a decade.

History is not simply a chronology of events that happened in a particular order. History is a meticulously curated phenomenon of power. How history is created -and who gets to tell that story- has one of the most significant impacts on our society. But we never talk about it. In this talk, we’re going to! We will explore how history is constructed and how we can use that knowledge to create the legacy for which we want to be remembered. We will learn about the roles of presence and absence in history-making and how those who leverage those roles often control power. We will also discuss practical ways in which we can all reclaim our personal agency and drive the narrative that will become our lives, our families, and our society. Learning Objectives: + Discover the secrets to history-making that have remained unchanged for centuries. + Learn how to actively write your own story in the way you’d wish to be remembered. + Take-away four techniques to help harness the power of your own story."

The constant pressure on marketers to prove return on ad spend (ROAS) is receiving particular emphasis heading into 2023. Economic headwinds are signaling uncertainty, retail is transforming rapidly as shoppers return to stores after over two years of quarantine and a mainstay of digital advertising — third-party cookies — are continuing to collapse. The good news is that marketers don’t have to navigate these challenges (and opportunities) alone. Learn how this fast-evolving digital landscape can remake programmatic advertising to benefit marketers and consumers alike. Heading into next year, what trends can marketers expect in digital advertising, and how can they leverage the power of people-based advertising to succeed in the evolving landscape?

Website marketing has an altruism problem. While forward-thinking professionals are beginning to understand that successful websites are built for humans, too many of us are still trying to ""game the system"" to stay in Google's good graces. Decision-makers have been burnt by cookie-cutter agencies and frustrated by strategies that don't seem to spark movement. The key to accelerating and future-proofing your online presence is in rethinking your SEO program to involve more teams, inform more decisions, and bring the focus back to your users. In this session, you'll learn: + How to think beyond page titles and meta descriptions to design a modern, sophisticated website strategy + How to tell whether your SEO agency is worth the price tag + How to maximize your investment in SEO by removing silos and adopting a 360-degree perspective" Kavi Kardos Corporate Finance Institute / Director of SEO

Are you still manually managing granular campaigns, but your ROAS are dropping? With the progress of Artificial Intelligence over the past few years, machines can now predict trends and make automated decisions in real-time. With this, it is crucial for advertisers to explore this new modern approach. By making the shift from overly segmented targeting and using too many keywords, to a simplified and more efficient account structure, you’re allowing machine learning to work to its best ability. In this session, Ashley Royalty, Director of Add3SHOP, will discuss modern practices and full-funnel activations that helped transform brands like IT Cosmetics, Nuun, and Elemis into million-dollar assets.

As the market has become saturated with advertisements for consumers, leaning into pop culture has proved to be the key to standing apart, especially since 38% of people consider brand involvement in pop culture either important or very important. Still, many brands opt to stay on the conservative side and avoid taking big (albeit culturally relevant) risks. When The Narrative Group took a seemingly “boring” product like yogurt and made it bold by championing the sometimes controversial “cannabis holiday” with Harmless Harvest’s “Harmless Hits Different” Pack a Bowl campaign for 4/20, they were met with 168M earned media impressions, 11M influencer impressions, and record-breaking sales. The success continued with their “thirstiest summer” campaign promoting their coconut water, tapping into “thirst traps” and recognizing “the thirst is real” with their consumers, and logging over 3M impressions in the first 3 months alone. Rebecca can share why bold, culturally relevant, and sometimes “risky” ideas can lead to the most successful campaigns. At the end of this session, the audience will be able to: + Understand what “brand swagger” is and how you can use that confidence and boldness to boost your brand and campaigns + Navigate and find the right threshold for trying new ideas that still align with the brand + Develop a strategy to connect to an audience who “gets it” - building trust with your current audience but also expanding to new ones

The Metaverse will require more content than we can realistically build manually, and it will need to be dynamically generated, personalised and completely interactive. This talk focuses on two groundbreaking projects: Creating an entirely AI-generated and interactive TV show and our inevitable future of 3D streamed media, specifically interactive streamed volumetric sports broadcasts. Adam will show how both projects work under the hood with live demos of the technology and breakdowns of the key points. Components include procedural cinematography, shot evaluation, ML pose estimation, dialogue and narrative synthesis, touch interactivity, intuitive UX and the challenges of streaming huge amounts of content to mobile devices. You’ll see what will hopefully be the very first, fully AI-generated TV show running 24 hours a day and never before presented versions of the latest Metacast technology, transforming how media is broadcast.

As the amount of personal data we produce continues to grow, so does the sophistication of the technology used to collect it. However, this ever-expending ecosystem of customer data is becoming so complex that few people actually understand how it all works, creating a widening divide between the data haves and haven-nots. To level the playing field, we’ll explain how customer data is used for personalization and targeted marketing in words that even a 5-year-old can understand—literally. In this session, we’ll tell the story of Parker, a data manifestation who travels through the strange world of the digital information on a journey to find his way home. Along the way, we’ll explain concepts like Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), predictive modeling, data on-boarding and more. It’s a story the whole family can enjoy, including technologists, marketers and privacy advocates.

Grant Munro (Speaker) Senior Vice President, Shutterstock Custom, Shutterstock With increased digital media consumption, comes increased expectations. Brands are challenged on a daily basis to share engaging visual media across all social channels. In this imagery-driven environment, we have seen video come out on top as the most valued type of content. While video is expected to continue to grow, another major consideration is the increased importance of personalization. Personalization requires brands to look at content differently. How do you scale the required content while meeting the personalization needs that brands are looking for? This talk will discuss strategies that brands are using to localize and personalize content as it becomes an increasingly crucial element of consumer engagement and loyalty.
