“People don’t trust brands - they believe what people they trust say about them.” Even if this statement makes you cringe, there’s some serious truth to it. How to get on the radar of ‘people our clients trust’? An army of friends helps you to crack that nut. It is not ‘another influencer’ program. It is not a client activation program either. An army of friends activates all those that share your purpose – and help you to flourish.

Abstract
The Architect of Value
The emergence of mass media during the second half of the 20th century has given rise to the Marketing Artist and a multi-billion-dollar industry based on brand and product storytelling. With the digital revolution of the 21st Century, the pendulum has swung towards a generation of Marketing Engineers who are leveraging an ever-growing availability of data and algorithms to develop personalized offerings.
With these 2 contrasting schools, the Marketing worlds seems in disarray and in need of a new NorthStar.
During his 30min talk, Peter Schelstraete will explore a new pathway for Marketing. His findings are based on the MARS Marketing Research project, conducted by a team of 5 researchers for the Mobile Marketing Association and Forbes Magazine and for which more than 100 CMOs and Senior Marketers of 80 companies were interviewed.

Abstract: The two AI: conscious & unconscious
Since the birth of AI 60 years ago, two RD directions have always compete: the conscious, symbolic and explicit AI, giving rise to software for planning, problem solving, expert systems, and the unconscious and implicit one, based on neural networks, machine learning and Big Data. Depending on the failures or successes of each research direction in overpassing human cognitive performance, they have alternatively been under the spotlight. I will explain the history and the reasons for these two scientific traditions on many different applications such as board games, selfless driving car, linguistic translation, and why, these days, the second one, re-baptized Deep Learning and Big Data (just old wine in new bottle) has gained this huge amount of attention. Should we worry about this impressive bifurcation?
How to realise an efficient marketing campaign for a brand, and at the same time be socially involved?

It outlines 7 rules for effective retail media programs, including that programs must provide a "triple win" for customers, marketers, and retailers.

The document argues that retail media can offer transparent reporting on returns from marketing investments and reach customers closer to the point of purchase.
Presentation of Ynzo van Zanten at the BAM Marketing Congress 2018 about "The Meaningfulness of Marketing". Speech title: The story of an unusual chocolate bar.
Abstract:
Tony’s Chocolonely isn’t your average chocolate company, but a chocolate company with a huge mission; to end modern slavery and exploitation in the cocoa industry. With amazing chocolate recipes they set the example and show that chocolate can be made in a more responsible way; in taste, packaging and the way they build long term relationships with cocoa farmers and the way they handle an open and transparent value chain. Ynzo van Zanten, Tony’s ‘Choco Evangelist’ will tell the story of Tony’s roadmap towards 100% slave free chocolate and how everyone can join this movement. And who knows, perhaps you will leave with a nice bar of Tony’s chocolate to take home.
We are in the Digital Age. The business world seems to be dominated by Digital Giants and Unicorns. For Digital Dinosaurs to prosper in this era they should continuously dance on a thin line between renewing their core and designing the new. If they get this right, they can actually be fierce competitors for Giants and Unicorns. Digital Dinosaurs are large, often multinational companies created before the arrival of the Internet. They exist in every industry and are important in terms of employment and contribution to GDP growth. They are however under threat and digital is accelerating this.
To survive and prosper, Digital Dinosaurs should continuously dance on a thin line between renewing their core business—putting digital into their core to create more delight for customers and to optimise internal processes—and designing the new—creating, building and scaling new businesses, products or solutions that can reinforce the core business of today and be ready to become the new core of tomorrow…
Trust was always key to success in business and sharing is nothing new but connectivity and networking technologies is the foundation for a new society, we are shifting from institutional trust to network based trust. Crowdsourcing, peer-to-peer, sharing economy, cryptocurrency… Statistics go beyond buzzwords!
Fortune 1000 companies are being disrupted by start-up’s and most of the brands we will talk about in ten years time are probably not even invented yet. There was never a better time for innovators and entrepreneurs.
Conversational commerce is generally used to describe how consumers can use chat, messaging, or other natural language interfaces (i.e. voice) to interact with brands or services – an approach that was not yet possible in the one way communication approach that brands have used till now.
But even in a high tech messaging environment, technology is only an enabler and a true “brand-consumer dialogue” can only be successful when providing real value to consumers.
Mark will talk about what sympl has learned building the first recruiting chatbot in Europe, helping marketeers to understand when and how (not if!) they should start an interactive dialogue with their consumers.
Machine learning, advanced robots, and virtual reality are here. Crucial design and ethical decisions are being made, and will be made in the near (3-5 year) future that will shape the interactions between machines and people for years to come. Today’s designers and product managers will be and are the architects of these relationships moving forward.
Learn what are the most important decisions designers will make, and the skills and knowledge you will need to design our future with technology.
Rory is Vice Chairman, an attractively vague job title which has allowed him to co-found Ogilvychange, a behavioral science practice.

In this humorous and data-heavy Master Class, join us in a joyous celebration of life honoring the long list of SEO tactics and concepts we lost this year. Remember fondly the beautiful time you shared with defunct ideas like link building, keyword cannibalization, search volume as a value indicator, and even our most cherished of friends: the funnel. Make peace with their loss as you embrace a new paradigm for organic content: Pillar-Based Marketing. Along the way, discover that the results that old SEO and all its trappings brought you weren’t really very good at all, actually.
In this respectful and life-affirming service—erm, session—join Ryan Brock (Chief Solution Officer at DemandJump and author of Pillar-Based Marketing: A Data-Driven Methodology for SEO and Content that Actually Works) and leave with:
• Clear and compelling evidence that most legacy SEO metrics and tactics have slim to no impact on SEO outcomes
• A major mindset shift that eliminates most of the metrics and tactics associated with SEO in favor of a single metric that defines and drives organic ranking success
• Practical, step-by-step methodology for choosing SEO pillar topics and publishing content quickly that ranks fast
