The future of digital advertising
The digital future
All advertising
will be digital

Billboards are going digital. Cable TV is incorporating digital-
like targeting capabilities. TV ads look like banners…
Advertising
agencies will
adapt or die.
Traditional and digital advertising agencies will converge. Those
that don’t will disappear…
How advertising will change
Brands &
branding
won’t change
The idea of brands and branding aren’t really going to change.
How we go about building them is and will continue to do so…
Digital will be at the center
“[Digital] is the centerpiece of a broader campaign.
I think that’s become a real integral part of how we
use the web, moving beyond just promoting web
addresses in TV spots or print ads to really making
them a critical part of the storytelling for the
brands.”

Rob Master
Media Director, North America
Unilever
Shift from
“consumers” to
“users”

Advertising will become about creating experiences,
engagement and utility,
Content is the new
currency.

Engaging content =
social currency
People, and brands, will pay for great content
Content is the new currency
“The agency’s job is to create content so valuable
and useful that consumers wouldn't want to live
without it.”


Jeff Hicks
CEO
Crispin Porter + Bogusky
The next wave of industry
mega-growth will come
from the advancement
of the classic art of
storytelling
Context creates auras and aspirations that help drive marketer
interests.
Stories around brands, products
It's not just a race to get to the highest number of
fans. It's a race to figure out how to be the most
engaging storyteller with your fans."


Carolyn Everson
VP, Global Marketing Solutions
Facebook
In the future, digital ads will
be highly personalized. They'll
appear on mobile devices in
sophisticated ways. If you
want to share an ad with
friends, you can, and if you
want to skip it, well, go right
ahead.
Preparing yourself
Marketing jobs of the future
Roles that didn’t exist 5 years ago:

• User Experience Designer
• Online Community Manager
• Creative Technologist
My humble advice to future “Ad Men”
• The planner of the future
  – Take an anthropology course


• The creative of the future
  – Take a computer science course


• The media buyer of the future
  – Take a statistics course
Thank you.
