This document discusses future trends in social media, including the rise of paid and authentic content like live video, the growth of social messaging and augmented reality, and the importance of personalization through 1:1 messaging. It notes that businesses are now under attack from empowered, technology-savvy customers rather than just competitors. Organic reach on Facebook for company pages has declined significantly, demonstrating the need for new approaches on social media.
Every publisher – legacy media to digital upstarts to brands to social media platforms – is getting better telling stories. All are aggressively protecting and leveraging troves of people data to differentiate and deliver unique value. Learn the ways brands can effectively tell their story and adapt to the modern media ecosystem.
You know the importance of your brand and logo.
When you extend your brand online, a static logo isn’t enough. With the new world of interactivity and app-like experience you want to create a brand language that reinforces your values and personality.
From integrating secondary graphics to bringing elements alive, the way a brand is presented has the power to engage or lose an audience. Join us for examples and lessons you can use to think differently about your brand on the web.
A significant brand is a rare breed. Not many of them exist in this world, but when you meet one you soon know about it. Becoming one does not require luck, timing or large advertising budgets. Significant brands simply value their customers more than themselves, and they are willing to do the things that other brands don't do.
I didn’t actually create this list of "Significant Brands” to produce a ranking table, but to spark a debate. These brands are significant to me because of what they stand for, not how much money they have made. After all, isn’t that the real purpose of business… To not just make a profit, but to make a profit that has a purpose?
Significant brands are run by companies who's intentions lie beyond profits. They want to make profits with purpose.
Significant brands stand for something larger than themselves. They inspire and add value to the lives of everyone they touch.
So, these are my top 25 most #SignificantBrands. I've tried to include a few stories around why I think they are significant, and a couple of words from one of their founders or executives. I hope you like them. If you don't, even better... create your own list and post it on slideshare ~ because we don't have deep conversations about brand purpose often enough.
What are your most significant brands?
In this session, Joanna will cover the future of brand marketing and what it means for marketers today. She will walk through the most loved brands and talk through what makes them great. Tactically she will run through ways you can set your brand up to be loved by your community and your customers. Most marketers today find themselves at the intersection of community, content, product, and design which is exactly where brilliant brands are built or fail.

Video and visual input are the main audience communication tools nowadays. The most effective way to reach someone today is with snackable content, delivered in its most preferred container: a short video clip. Technology can help, but social selling is about building stronger relationships with potential buyers, stake holders and other audience segments. It’s based on an authentic sense of empathy and a deep understanding of the problems they face and proposing simple and easy-to-implement solutions to these problems to become a relevant and trusted reliable source of information in your target audience’s life.
What works when you need to build trust? How do you measure success? Let’s take a better a look at the current market to understand why Twitter is betting big on its native video player, and why Facebook and YouTube have become such fierce competitors for our eyeballs.

Falcon.io | 2021 Trends Virtual Summit - Data PrivacyFalcon.io
Two years after Cambridge Analytica, personal data is still at the forefront of the conversation. Consumers all vehemently care about what companies do with their data. Privacy is on everyone’s mind (not just the older, wealthier bracket). The pandemic has only accelerated these concerns, which marked 2020 as a significant year for data management. As businesses face new technological challenges amid COVID-19, the topic of privacy has drawn an increasingly bright spotlight. This sensitivity regarding data privacy has only been growing — and companies are responding accordingly.

The New Year always brings hopes of new strategies, idea, goals and successes. But before we dive into what’s next, we thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the top 15 most important marketing and technology trends from 2015. Jen Bullett and Kalev Peekna count down 15 strategies, trends and tactics that Business-to-Business and Professional Services marketers should keep on their radar as they delve into 2016. Specifically, we cover topics including lead generation, predictive marketing, brand storytelling and cross-channel metrics.
The world is ever-changing, and technology is taking the lead. Today, everything goes digital - amusement, health, property, banking and even currencies. This is, however, comprehensible. In North America alone, eighty nine of the population is on-line (subscription required).
Teradata connect is conference on the power of data-driven digital marketing. The conference had a number of inspiring keynotes from Google, Facebook, Wired and Virgin Galactic to name a few. This is an unofficial summary perspective on the conference...that from an Australian technology startup - www.localz.co.
Key takeaways:
1. Customer data is like a currency - access is earned through demonstrated value
2. Technology is re-enabling the era of personalised, contextually relevant interactions…but at mass scale
3. Data savvy businesses will win
5 TRENDS FOR DIGITAL AGENCIES (AND BRANDS) TO BE READY FOR 2020Eric Shutt
What trends will shape the (digital) marketing agency of the future? It’s a constant question that agencies and clients are always asking, and always looking for answers. And there’s one theme: many feel unprepared. The goal of this presentation is to look beyond the trends.
How can agencies (and clients) prepare for success years from now? Based on everything we’ve seen — research, conferences, work, email lists, happy hours … We set out to pull together key elements that agencies and clients need to be acting on now for success in the future.
Why the Brand Idea Still Matters in the Age of Social Mediajcsmyers
A brand, wrote Stephen King in 1971, “has to be a coherent totality, not a lot of bits.” The founder of JWT’s planning department knew that brands are most effective when all their elements come together as a single unique personality. What would King make of today’s fragmented world of marketing where communication is delivered quite literally in bits: a Facebook comment, a 140-character Tweet, a Pinterest image.
The driver for this is, of course, social media. In every sector of society where individuals and organizations interact, social media has emerged as a disruptive force. While the benefits of social media to marketers are many – opening a two-way dialogue with consumers, influencing word-of-mouth, building rich stores of data – the challenges for brands can’t be ignored. In particular, brands must consider how to tell a coherent story across a growing array of platforms and amid a cacophony of consumer and competitor voices.
How can marketers take advantage of all that social media offers while protecting the integrity of the central brand idea? Is it even realistic that one idea can support conversations with millions of consumers across hundreds of platforms in multiple formats? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Given the demands of the today’s media landscape, it’s never been more important for all marketing efforts to be unified under a powerful brand idea.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
