Ready for Ten - a peer-to-peer parenting platform for Robinson's Fruit shootCharlotte Hillenbrand
A talk first delivered at the NMA Online Marketing Show at Olympia, London on 29th June 2010.
An integrated team from Britvic Soft Drinks (owners of Robinson's Fruit Shoot), Made by Many and BBH talk about their parenting platform Ready for Ten which uniquely targets parents of 6-9 year olds – those most likely to choose and buy the Fruit Shoot brand -- and creates a valuable utility by bringing them tips, information and conversation from hand-picked mummy bloggers, twitter and the best of the web.
The document discusses the lean startup movement and its principles of rapid prototyping, minimum viable products, iterative development, and customer feedback. It emphasizes testing ideas quickly and adapting based on learning rather than upfront planning. Speakers provide tips for product teams such as making changes incrementally, prioritizing speed, avoiding getting too attached to early ideas, and planning adaptively to account for uncertainty.
Edward Boches, Chief Innovation Officer at Mullen, focusing on the need to actually build things,
collaborate across disciplines and learn by doing
rather than watching.
Griffin Farley, Strategy Director at BBH NY, introduces us to an entirely new way of thinking when it comes to the distribution of digital content and ideas.
Matt Howell, President of Modernista!, presents his vision for the new brand team, individual roles, and the process necessary to go from making messages to building platforms.
Chloe Gottleib, EDC for Interactive Design at R/GA, will explain how to think about UX when the digital experience is no longer limited to a website but instead includes social media, apps, and a brand's extensive online presence.
Alessendra Larui, Group Creative Director at McCann Erickson and instructor at Hyper Island, shares her experiences in helping change things inside a traditional agency.

Better Ideas Faster: How to Brainstorm More EffectivelyDavid Sherwin
Use these practical methods to help you brainstorm better, smarter, and more effectively, no matter the timeline. Using these methods, you can approach a design problem with the right questions so you can focus your creative energy on finding solutions.
What is Creativity made of? Where do ideas come from, and how can you get more of them? How can you make them better? What happens when there is no box to think outside of? Jason Theodor, a long-standing Creative Director in the digital advertising world, has asked himself these questions for years. These are his observations from the field, and his tools for ideation.
This presentation breaks down the creative method and explores the fundamental elements of creativity. It describes multiple systems for idea generation, problem solving, and originality. It emphasizes the importance of routines, explains appropriate brainstorming techniques, and much more: all with unexpected examples and takeaways.
If you want to live a more creative life, or give yourself an edge in the Age of Ideas, this presentation is a must see.
Faris Yakob, Chief Innovation Officer for MDC Partners will inspire us all with thoughts on how strategy has to evolve if it's to inform work that's interactive, shareable, and participatory.
This document discusses moving advertising and branding toward more participatory and interactive models. It suggests conceptualizing brands as APIs and platforms that allow users to project themselves. The author advocates for generating campaign models with as little waste as possible using lean startup principles of continuous learning through prototyping, testing and customer interaction. A process of customer discovery is outlined involving generating hypotheses, talking to customers, being honest about findings and repeating the process of learning and building minimal viable products or campaigns.
Devon Smith, Director of Research and Analysis at Yale Rep, gave a presentation on social media strategy for theaters. He discussed benchmarking peers on various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Foursquare. He emphasized the importance of engagement through answering and asking questions, mobile donations, and building relationships online and offline to develop audiences. Smith also stressed the challenges of accurately measuring social media return on investment and engagement.
Brief overview of social media, some companies whose initial forays were not a success and a suggested remedy/course of action for those companies who want to suceed.
The Revolution will not be Televised...but if you're lucky, it'll be memed.Tara Hunt
I gave this presentation at CTAM Canada's annual gathering at Corus HQ in Toronto on June 20th. I think it's safe to say that it was a bit...um...controversial.
In order to prepare for this talk, I poured over mutiple reports and studies about the state of the Canadian Media and Entertainment industry. These reports included a lot of hand-wringing over online and American VOD services (Neflix, etc), but really discounted "User-Uploaded Video" (or "User-Generated Content") as largely irrelevant (except for the CRTC, who seems to want to regulate and tax creators).
So...that's what I focused on in here: UGC, including Creators (and online influencers), remix/mashup culture, stans/super fans, and social media content in general.
Three points where I think the audience winced:
1. with the enormous growth in available content, we are seeing a huge appetite for diverse stories - we don't need any more content aimed at white people.
2. the biggest competitors for attention are your own audience, who are no longer "consumers"...they are creators. And there are many of them and growing.
3. stop worrying about people stealing your content. Content isn't where the value lies. Attention is where the value lies. You should be encouraging them to steal! It's free marketing!
I guess I can understand why my message was a little controversial, but I want to help, not hurt.

Leveraging Social Media - Strategies & Tactics - PostRankIlya Grigorik
The document discusses leveraging social media for marketing purposes. It provides tips on using different social media platforms like Reddit, Delicious, Digg, and StumbleUpon to create "social media traffic tsunamis". Velocity is important for success on these platforms. The document also discusses the benefits of viral media, how to use networks and timing effectively, and case studies from sites like Digital Photography Review that experienced success through social media.
The document discusses various examples of brands posting inappropriate or unwise tweets that damaged their reputation, such as tweets containing profanity, insensitive comments on current events, or being posted while intoxicated. It advises brands to carefully monitor their social media accounts, ensure personal and business accounts remain separate, avoid sensitive topics, and have guidelines and filters in place to prevent offensive content from being posted.

He graduated from State school and worked as a developer before moving 3000 miles and starting 3 failed startups. He then created UserVoice after prototyping the idea in December 2007 and launching in April 2008. The company has now raised over $2 million in funding rounds and has 90,000+ organizations as customers with tens of millions of registered users.
The document discusses how to take a next generation approach to video marketing. It provides 10 steps for effective video marketing, including creating engaging content, working with influencers on social media platforms like YouTube and Reddit that target millennial audiences, using data insights to inform video creation and timing of uploads, and focusing on attracting customers through entertaining content rather than pushing ads. The overall message is that video marketing needs to deliver value to audiences in order to gain their engagement and trust in this increasingly social and mobile landscape.

Discovery to Share: The Keys to Getting Your Audiences to Move Your Message ...Michael Pranikoff
Presentation created for the #eBev Conference held in Denver on Oct 24 -25, 2013 by the American Beverage Consortium. The conference was for digital markers in the adult beverage industry. This presentation focused on trends in the digital marketing world and how content can create authority and organic conversations.
The document discusses trends in creative marketing campaigns, including experiential, interactive, and transmedia approaches that treat audiences as accomplices rather than passive consumers. It highlights campaigns that created unique experiences through new machines, once-in-a-lifetime surprises, and content that gets richer across channels. The implications are to add value through authentic ideas that offer spectators experiences instead of repetitive ads and involve audiences through incomplete concepts that invite interaction.
The six layers of online engagement v. 3.0socialshare
This document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on customer engagement. It notes that social media, mobile technology, and augmented reality are changing how people communicate and access information. These new engagement layers provide opportunities to better connect with customers through games, rewards, and gamification of business activities. The implications are that businesses must adapt their customer engagement strategies to each new technology layer to maintain relevance and build loyalty. Creativity and high-quality content will be important to effectively engage customers across these fragmented online spaces.
The document provides a recap of a Snapchat for Business event featuring Kate Talbot and influencers Michael Platco, Frankie Greek, and Justin Wu. The event covered Snapchat case studies, tips for using Snapchat for business, and a Q&A with the influencers. Key takeaways included how brands like POPSUGAR, NPR, and AnchorFree are using Snapchat, the importance of storytelling and transparency for influencers, and tracking engagement through screenshots and views.
Social Networking: How Can Your Business Benefit?Chi-chi Ekweozor
The document discusses how social networking can benefit businesses. It begins with an introduction of the author and their background. Several case studies are presented that show how social media campaigns were successful for brands like Neutrogena, Hershey's, Microsoft, and Warner Music. The author advocates that businesses should embrace social media tools like blogs, videos, and online communities to engage customers and measure results. Free platforms like YouTube, WordPress and Facebook are recommended to get started with social media marketing.

Social media broke marketing. But in a good way. It created engaged, informed customers who quickly figured out they could learn more from each other than from the websites of corporations trying to market to them. Marketers reacted with fear by shoe-horning their old methods into shiny new channels; pouring millions into unidirectional, broadcast Facebook pages and stagnant Twitter feeds. Now marketing has broken social media. How did we manage to get it so completely wrong and what can we do to fix it?
This document discusses how social networking can benefit businesses and provides strategies and examples for how companies can engage strategically on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. It emphasizes listening to conversations, engaging with customers in a personal, transparent way, and monitoring social media to respond and spread your brand's message virally. Examples are given of Italian companies that have successfully used these tactics on social media.
CoFacts: the chatbot that combats misinformation (Wu Min Hsuan (ttcat) - Open...mysociety
This document discusses Cofacts, a chatbot created to combat the spread of misinformation. Cofacts allows users to check facts by sending messages to the chatbot on Line. The chatbot will then search its database and the internet to verify claims or find context about the information. It provides concise replies indicating whether a claim is accurate or contains misinformation. Cofacts aims to stop the spread of rumors by making fact-checking more accessible and collaborative. It hopes to increase transparency by open sourcing its data and process so others can trace how information spreads over time.

1. Partners identify problems or annoyances in their daily lives. They discuss recent experiences with the issue and define the problem and desired outcome.
2. Partners sketch ambitious solutions to each other's problems and name their ideas. The group selects one problem to focus on and sketches additional propositions to solve it.
3. The group selects the strongest propositions and identifies two minimum viable product variants to test against each other through a landing page split test. They develop core features and copy for each page.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health over time.
This document discusses the role of the creative technologist. It defines the creative technologist as a key member of the digital creative team who helps lead projects from concept to delivery. The creative technologist both writes code to build software and platforms, and also leads strategic thinking. Some of the main responsibilities outlined include managing emerging technologies, building prototypes, enabling agile workflows, and sparking creative thinking through research and experimentation. The role of creative technologist has grown in importance as technology has increasingly disrupted advertising.
This document discusses how teams, processes, and structures need to change for digital work compared to traditional advertising work. It argues that digital work requires more varied and complex work produced through quicker, iterative processes, requiring teams with cross-disciplinary skills and knowledge. Hierarchical structures are incompatible with this work. The document advocates for flattening organizational structures into cross-functional teams, co-locating team members, restricting communication tools like email, and using rapid prototyping processes with clients integrated into teams to enable more collaborative work that can be produced more quickly.
The document discusses the development of a service to help teachers use Skype in the classroom. It describes how the service was initially conceived as a lesson planning tool but through user research and testing, it was discovered that teachers' biggest need was finding other teachers who used Skype. An early version of a directory service was created and tested. User feedback and analytics from a beta test were used to refine the service, with a focus on making it easier for teachers to connect with each other. The goal of the next phase was to enhance the tools for teachers to find and describe themselves to each other.
The document discusses how companies can promote digital creativity from within. It recommends that companies feed a culture of innovation by embracing experimentation, allocating resources for small creative projects, and establishing internal incubators or labs where employees can explore new ideas. Leaders are encouraged to empower teams to take risks and provide support even if projects fail. Nurturing creativity from within helps keep employees engaged and companies at the forefront of their industries.
The document advocates for thinking small rather than big in business and marketing. It argues that small ideas are better suited to solving problems, create a better customer experience, and are better for business overall. Small ideas are described as being focused on serving people by removing friction, as one of many interconnected ideas, and through action rather than just words. Small ideas are also said to build upon each other to create larger, longer-term ideas. The document encourages embracing a culture of experimentation focused on useful communication products rather than PowerPoint presentations.
This document discusses how digital technology is changing consumer behavior and the advertising industry. It notes that consumers now want to participate in media instead of just consuming it. Community has become a new source of content, and attention is now scarce as content becomes easier to generate. The future will see content move beyond real-time and individuals better able to filter information, while peer-to-peer influences may rival brand messaging. Effective strategies bring people together through shared experiences that invite participation and are defined by user sharing.

Gareth Kay discusses strategy in the post-digital world. Some key points include:
1) Strategies need to be interesting, not just right, and trigger desired responses simply and entertainingly.
2) Strategies should be interested in what interests people and have a cultural mission rather than just commercial goals.
3) Companies should create useful experiences and media, not just communicate products. They should experiment with storytelling across screens and make everyday life playful and useful.
The document discusses user experience (UX) in the digital ecosystem. It covers topics like building digital platforms across desktop, web, social and mobile channels. It also discusses defining the structure of these platforms to meet business needs and user requirements at different stages from inspiration to celebration. Finally, it talks about creating relationships by managing communities, rewarding behaviors, building around causes, and enabling local connections.
This document discusses how advertising agencies need to adapt their processes and structures to the changing digital media landscape. It recommends (1) producing more varied digital work frequently through smaller teams, (2) shifting team compositions to focus on specialized skills like development and UX rather than traditional roles, and (3) using flexible, iterative processes within co-located teams rather than restrictive hierarchies. The goal is to empower creativity through experimentation rather than prove lack of risk in order to succeed in the new environment.
Alessendra Lariu, co-founder of SheSays, former Group Creative Director at McCann Erickson and instructor at Hyper Island, shares her experiences in helping change things inside a traditional agency.
This document discusses the development of an online directory service to help teachers connect and share resources for using Skype in the classroom. An iterative process was used, beginning with user research and development of a minimum viable product. An initial MVP was tested with teachers and refined based on analytics and feedback. Enhancements are being implemented to make connecting teachers easier, allow richer profiles, and surface more relevant resources. The goal is to continuously learn from data and user input to improve the service.
1) The role of the creative technologist is to integrate programming and software development skills into the creative and strategic process.
2) Creative technologists write code, lead strategic thinking for digital platforms, and bring emerging technology ideas into concepting.
3) They help manage complexity, build prototypes, enable agile workflows, and spark creative thinking through technology research.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
