Over the summer, Google+, a new social network, was launched to much fanfare. While some have touted it as a Facebook-killer, others wonder whether we need (and have time for) yet another social site.
Today, Google+ can provide SEO benefits, in-depth conversations and high-quality content sharing. In the near future, it may be useful for CRM, analytics, blogging, key intranet functions and more. But it may fade out as earlier Google social software has done. In this session, we’ll look at the features that distinguish Google+, particularly for businesses. We’ll also discuss reasons to be cautious in adopting it.

The Rebirth of Advertising: How to Get from the Gold Rush to the Golden AgeDavid Berkowitz
The proliferation of advertising into every bit of physical and digital space available has come with a price. During this Gold Rush, people are viewed as data, and that data is used and abused in ways that consumers never signed up for, and the consumer backlash is getting more vocal. In the process, marketers, agencies, publishers, and technology companies are quick to blame each other, and trust among everyone is eroding. But there is hope for a better approach, one built on respect, transparency, consent, and value. Follow the path from the Gold Rush to the next Golden Age, and see what it will take to get there. Along the way, meet some of the pioneers and heroes in the ad industry who are trying to do things right. This talk was delivered to the La French Touch NYC Conference in June 2017 (#lftcnyc).
A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Hashtags: How image recognition will power the f...David Berkowitz
What are the latest developments in visual search and image recognition?

It then offers examples of visual search analytics, and finally goes into areas that will be impacted by this, such as risk management, social listening, competitive intelligence, creative optimization, and customer service.
There’s a battle raging right now in the marketing and advertising worlds. At the risk of resorting to hyperbole, there are a lot of evil practices out there, fueled in part by sellers seeking cheap gains that conflict with buyers’ long-term interests, and buyers seeking the lowest cost and most convenient option rather than what will deliver the most business value.
This talk was given at a private event hosted by viola group and carmel ventures in September 2016. an article based on this was subsequently published in venturebeat.
This is an annotated version so that it is more readable.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

4. Meet The Man
“The closest I came to meeting The Man at
SXSW this year is David Berkowitz, the chief
marketing officer of digital agency MRY.”
- Casey Newton, The Verge
5. The most ironic SXSW ever! 3 key themes
• Irony 1: Sharing privacy
– Everyone’s sharing public updates about the speakers and apps that
are trying to protect our privacy
• Irony 2: Branded technologists
– In a striking inversion, the most successful technologies at SXSW were
launched by brands
• Irony 3: FOMOgraphy
– The focus is often less about what you do there than how jealous you
make the people who aren’t there
10. Brands are the new startups
“Once upon a time, long, long ago, SXSW was
the place you'd visit to experience cool, new
startup technology…. While there are still
startups at SXSW and that remains a big
reason brands attend, this year it was mostly
big brands sharing tech wizardry.”
- Steve Hall, Adrants
11. Want to meet brands? They’re on stage everywhere
