This document discusses the early history and development of television as a mass medium. It notes that television content initially borrowed from radio, with radio networks and executives helping to establish the first television networks and shape early programming. Government regulation restricted access to television broadcasts, ensuring networks became the dominant gatekeepers. While television grew slowly at first, by the 1950s it had become a ubiquitous part of American homes and culture, homogenizing society and fueling the need for more programming and advertising. This established the foundation and power structure of the television industry that still exists today.

7 Predictions for 2017 from a Cloudy Crystal Ball Young & Rubicam
This document provides 7 predictions for 2017 from a global CEO. The predictions are:
1. Algorithms and programmatic advertising will lose their luster as there is a movement toward adding more human insight.
2. Media will return to more human roots with more accountability for ad placement.
3. Fake news will continue to be an issue with the creators, platforms and publishers profiting while brands find audiences.
4. TV will continue to grow in importance across all platforms and devices, and advertising will play a key role in reducing content costs.

6. There will be
An advertising industry first, Ogilvy & Mather’s Cross-Cultural Report: Findings provide new model to help brands build value and relevancy for “The New General Market”.
Through the development of Ogilvy & Mather’s Cross-Cultural Report, we identified a major shift in the way we perceive and market to our clients’ customers. In the report we explain this shift and the manner in which we need to respond to it. The stakes are high. It’s no exaggeration to say that this is a change-or-die moment for many players in our industry. We believe that with this blueprint we are poised to prosper rather than perish. And we believe that David Ogilvy, who had great respect for the consumer and a deeply held belief in constant adaptation, would have approved.
After reading the Cross-Cultural Report you should understand the following:
1. The business case as to why brand and marketing leaders should shift their planning and investment approach for “The New General Market.”
2. The cross-cultural disciplined approach versus the current general market and multicultural marketing approach.
3. How the application of the Ogilvy & Mather Cross-Cultural Strategic Territories helps builds brands for The New General Market.
4. How the Ogilvy & Mather Cross-Cultural Matrix helps brands assess their current cross-cultural position and our approach for building brand value.
VR was a major topic at SXSW 2016, with brands beginning to experiment using it to enhance experiences. Brands offering luxury experiences, like Lufthansa allowing virtual trips, were early adopters. Technology and bioengineering solutions were discussed as ways to address climate change and resource scarcity. Gen Z sees their identity as a personal brand they curate across social media, and they view brands as tools to help shape their personal brands. Dynamic pricing and experiences that adapt in real time to inputs were also discussed as trends, with examples including Uber, Disneyland, and websites that update continuously. Racism in advertising was addressed, with points made that changing who works in the industry and moving portrayals from "homage
Y&R Advertising sent some of its brightest minds to the SXSW Interactive Festival and here’s what they had to say about the trends at the intersection of technology, innovation, and advertising, and what they mean for brands today.

Each year, art meets technology at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. Celebrating the convergence of the interactive, film, and music industries, this year's conference featured panels, seminars, parties and live music. Topics ranged from artificial intelligence and chat bots to female leadership and social purpose, revealing future trends for brands and agencies to keep in mind this upcoming year. Here are Y&R's key takeaways from SXSW 2017.
The document provides examples of marketing campaigns for various brands including MINI, adidas, Heineken, Domino's, Shell, and others. It discusses how the agency iris works with these brands to create "participation brands" through experiential marketing, digital experiences, social media engagement, and other strategies that involve consumers directly. Specific campaigns highlighted include social media programs, interactive installations, design competitions, and more.
Calvin Carter discusses his observations from Mobile World Congress 2015, noting several key trends:
1. Security was a major focus, with many companies showcasing new security and malware protection features for both hardware and software platforms.
2. Video content was prominently featured, even within non-video apps, showing how important video has become for generating ad revenue.
3. Notifications continue to be a critical area of focus, with companies innovating in push notifications, messaging across channels, and analytics for tracking notification strategies.
4. Emerging technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality and beacons are still in early stages but showed promise, though widespread adoption may be a few years off.
Major hotel chains will focus less on amenities like TVs and phones in 2015, instead prioritizing free high-speed WiFi. Hotel occupancy is reaching new heights, causing room rates to rise, so hotels will emphasize savings opportunities. Travelers can expect to see more bundled packages that combine flights, rooms, and car rentals to provide affordable options. Emerging technologies like smartphone room keys and wearable devices will continue changing the travel experience.
Wearable technology and smart watches in particular will continue to emerge as popular consumer products in 2014. 3D printing technologies will advance and become more accessible to consumers, allowing people to design and print more complex objects. Social media marketing tactics that were overused in 2013, like attaching brand logos to viral internet memes, will fade as the public grows weary of such overt advertising.

The document summarizes discussions from Day 2 of the 2013 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
1) There is an opportunity for brands in China's lower-tier cities as 160 million new consumers enter cities and consumption increases unprecedentedly. Popular mid-priced quality brands will benefit most.

Digital Culture For The Win - Cannes Lions 2016 ReviewJeremy Masselis
The document discusses how to win Lions at Cannes by understanding and tapping into digital culture. It analyzes digital culture as being playful, spontaneous, authentic, tailor-made, social, alienable, experiential, and empowering. It provides examples of award-winning campaigns that embodied these traits by letting people play, doing things live, making things real, personalizing experiences, connecting people, letting people own things, enabling people to try things out, and empowering people. The key lessons are that digital culture is a pervasive culture that serves as a new creative canvas, and that campaigns should embrace the traits of digital culture in order to be successful.

2. Customer engagement metrics should be used carefully as many customers just want efficient transactions.
3. One-to-one marketing is difficult at scale as customers are unpredictable.
4. Differences between groups are often meaningless as all the variation is within groups.
5. Viral marketing works locally but has small global impact, better for concentrated markets.
6. Mass marketing is still effective with many channels, just harder to implement successfully.

4. A & E NETWORK: THE BATES MOTEL
The full Bates experience comes to Austin, complete with props and décor from the show,
together with a chance to stay overnight. We’re interested to see: How true-to life the décor
and styling is – getting that eerie Bates flavour is no mean feat.

Continuing their campaign to encourage people to Never Hide from their beliefs, Ray-Ban will be
returning to SXSW with their non-secret secret society The Order, as well as a Boiler Room
showcase presented by Kaytranada. We’re intrigued by: The #Campaign4Change
6. BEATPORT: BEATPORT HOUSE
We’re excited to learn that: Beatport will be a hub for Electronic Music Culture at SXSW. Once
the outsider at SXSW, dance music has been growing in credibility and presence at the event,
and has a raft of activity happening, including a report on millennial behaviours.
7. MASHABLE HOUSE: BREAK THE INTERNET
Once again bringing those weird and wonderful memes to life, Mashable House certainly looks
like the super-fun and zeitgeisty ticket at SXSW 2015. We’ll be: Attending the Mash Bash party,
and looking forward to seeing what they’ve done with Kim Kardashian’s booty.
8. SXSTYLE
Another growing movement within SXSW: Fashion. Exploring the ties between fashion, art,
culture and technology, SXStyle has some serious partnerships and some speakers from the tech
world in its 1st year. We’ll be checking out: Joe Zee, recently appointed to Yahoo! Style.
9. COMEDY CENTRAL: KEGS & EGGS
You had us at hello. We always have a hankering for breakfast egg tacos, and we love
experiences who have simple, direct names, so we’ll definitely be stopping by to: Watch their
“Drunk History” dunk tank.

The Story of Roland TR808 drum machine and how it changed music. The documentary pays
homage to the machine through such enthusiasts as Rick Rubin, Questlove, and Mike D and Ad-
Rock of the Beastie Boys. A must see.
12. BRAND: A SECOND COMING
We’re continually intrigued by Mr.Brand, and as the opening film of SXSW 2015, he’ll have a
hyper-cultural crowd checking out his latest: A deep dive into fame, influence and where we are
as a 21st century society.
13. KURT COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK
We normally wouldn’t pay much attention to yet another blast of Nirvanastalgia. however given
Frances Bean Cobain’s involvement and full authorisation, this documentary will hopefully reveal
some beauty in what’s often portrayed as a wholly tragic life.
14. CHRISTINE VACHON
A killer keynote from the founder of Killer Films. As the producer of Boys Don't Cry, Far From
Heaven, Hedwig And The Angry Inch and Happiness (amongst others), Vachon should provide
some golden insights on indie movie-making and its influence.

This is one of the most buzzed about apps in the past few weeks that’s set to really launch
at SXSW – obviously it could blow up or bust, but we think it’ll definitely be one to watch for how

showing up for book signings, to international conferences with social media stars headlining, is
the digital world is no longer trapped online??

Asking musicians and entrepreneurs to give you their ideas or play for free doesn’t seem like the
best way to endear yourself to the SXSW audience. We’re anticipating a Doritos-like backlash to
McDonalds’ presence at the event.
23. FX: FEARLESS FACTORY
We’ve designed and produced an immersive experience for the FX network, with content from
existing and new shows including Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain. Check it out at: The Waller
