Digital marketplaces change behaviors of people, organizations and businesses. They introduce new forms of value exchange that result from connecting supply and demand in a new way. Learn how your brand can use digital to grow.
A few things you need to know about digital marketingAna Andjelic
This is the presentation I gave at IdejaX conference this past weekend. I focused mostly on the overall approach characteristic to digital marketing that often gets lost when people talk about it.
Social Business and Social Media, two terms that are often used interchangeably. Although one might enable the other, they both mean very different things.
While Social Media is focused on communication, Social Business is dedicated to improving business processes.
Social Business is not a mere buzzword but a true opportunity for modern companies to eliminate barriers to team productivity. When companies work like a network, they can improve collaboration inside and outside of the organization, adapt more swiftly to change, and drive more effective results together.
What is Social Business? What is the difference with Social Media? Why do you need to have a Social Business strategy in place in order to attract/collaborate with the new generation? What are the challenges? This presentation reveals all!
The Future of Agency report explores perspectives from creative strategists in Africa, South America, Europe and the United States. It is a revolutionary treatise on the state of advertising and marketing communications as experienced by experts in media, technology and communications. Cheers*

SXSW 2011 Keynote: Welcome to the EGOsystem, how much are you worthBrian Solis
Brian Solis featured Ad.ly’s Sean Rad and Arnie Gullov-Singh, Klout’s CEO and Founder, Joe Fernandez and Jon M. Chu, Director of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and creator of The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.
In April 2015, Luminary Labs gathered convened Lab Session #2 to discuss The Human Company. Over the past 12 months, multiple corporations have radically rethought how they do business by establishing livable wages, developing creative equity plans, offering paid parental leave policies, and even pulling out of an entire state in protest of discrimination. In addition to sending a strong signal that people come first, these organizations are also making an economic argument to investors that employee-favorable policies pay dividends in reduced turnover and improved business outcome.

Five Business Trends To Watch In 2016 -- No Matter How Or Where You WorkFaisal Hoque
From big data to the gig economy, 2016 may be the year that familiar buzzwords start having real, mainstream impact.
1. The Gig Economy Creates More Opportunities
2. Big Data Gets Even Bigger
3. Social Selling Goes Mainstream
4. Lean Businesses Will Win
5. Generation Z Comes Into Focus
Depending on the sort of entrepreneur, employee, freelancer, or company leader you might be, the year ahead holds varying degrees of promise and pitfalls. Some of the changes afoot are already affecting some more than others.
But optimism is itself a strategic asset—as long as it's backed up by a strong grasp of the facts. With that in mind, here's a look at some of the business trends that seem most likely to impact professionals of all stripes in the year ahead.
In this session of Entrepreneurship 101, we define the field of marketing and communications, covering the basics of advertising, branding, public relations and social media. We explore the idea of traction, and provide an overview of the 19 different channels and activities that have the potential to move the needle for your business.
Key topics covered: Brand identity, traction, PR and social media.

The ubiquity of technology and its ability to accelerate the adoption of behaviors have created great opportunity for marketers to reach target consumers but simultaneously have made it more difficult to “break through.” This, of course, challenges the conventional approaches to marketing communications and puts more emphasis on leveraging social media as a means to engage target consumers and propagate messages, ideas, products and behaviors. Here at Doner, I have been tasked with the reshaping of how we see the world of social media and how we operate in it as practitioners. The following is a peek into that world.

We hear it every day: Everything is changing. Social media, globalization, climate change are just a few of the powerful and complex forces at work in our every day lives. Not only are people more connected than ever with constant access to a world of opinion mixed with fact, but they’re also feeling less confident, lacking control over everything from home to work to politics. So, the world is complex and facing major challenges, competition is fierce, and brands mean more. So what?

Columbia university class presentation. how technology is brining retail back...Ana Andjelic
“Is it going to look good in a selfie?” The answer to this question can make or break a brand. With good reason, too: the way a product is going to be discovered, shared, talked about and bought is today more important than the product itself. Modern brands figured out that, as long as they have a Good Enough product, distribution is the most important part of their brand-building strategy. They win by offering a killer end-to-end experience that customers repeatedly want and that they keep telling others about. Distribution in the age of the internet doesn’t mean just a sales channel. It means every experience that will help the product spread. It can be packaging worth Instagramming, a tight community of die-hard fans, dialogue-inspiring content, a strong feedback loop or a beautifully photographable store. Our purchases today are not only digitally influenced, they are thoroughly transformed by each individual retail touchpoint. To differentiate in a market created by ever-increasing number of retail touchpoints, brands need to create a personal and deep-rooted bond around their audience’s passion points.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
2. The Story.
In the Fall of 2005, I was a graduate student at Columbia. I was
learning about technology and innovation.
I wanted to work at AKQA.
So I called Lars Bastholm.
Every day.
For three months.*
Lars finally took the call.
And here I am.
*don't worry, Lars didn't call the cops on me. We became really good friends.
3. Coca- Maybelline CNN Burberry Citibank Toyota
Cola
Ford Kashi DeBeers Nokia Target
Boston Shakira Clarins Unilever
Scientific
Redken
Universal
Music Calvin Klein

Pizza Hut
5. The thing I learned.
Oh, and this too:
*I stole this graph from Christoph Neimann
6. I am a visual thinker.
*Temple Grandin is a famous high-functioning autistic scientist who studies livestock' behavior and who invented the hugging machine.
7. It turned out to be a good thing.
Visual approach is holistic. It embraces the complexity of a situation
without reducing it to a causal, simple explanation.
Instead, it's looking for intuitive solutions that seamlessly fit into
people's behaviors.
It inspires thinking through associations.
It encourages "what if", not "why" and "how".
It's non-linear and allows for the unexpected.
It requires imagination and creativity.
It is perfect for the digital world.
9. Cultural micro-tensions.
The brewing currents that are not yet big enough to be considered a culture and a
behavior, but that are real enough for the brands to reconsider their go-to-market
strategy.
• The millenials are 40% of the car market. .• They are buying less cars and driving
• Digital gadgets are replacing cars as identity less than any previous generation.
• They view in-car technology as old-
markers. fashioned.
• The millenials are very green (no pun intended). • Pollution
10. Social Influence.
Influence is a network.
Its structure decides whether
something spreads or not.
Which is why accidental influentials
are so important.
Like Amber.
Accidental influentials are easily
influenced people who influence other
easily influenced people.
11. Human Irrationality.
People are emotional decision-makers. They are sensitive to design of information
environments and to activities of others. Combine those two things and you get a
powerful engine for behavioral change.
12. Data as Marketing.
Data aggregates act as a shared communication object - a story around products
use based on all individual usage patterns. These stories provide a powerful
consumption context - and a bonus marketing message.
15. Digital world provides solutions for it's own complexity.
Amid noise, there are a lot of signals.
All you have to do is be crafty.
Mine what's already out there for insights and creative
ideas.
16. Google insights' keywords

media sites to find out what
people are saying about a
product/brand. The most
important thing is to look out
