How Brands Grow in a Digital Age
How do brands really grow? How do brands grow in a radically disrupted internet economy? We explore brand growth in today’s digital world, with perspectives from Nicholas Lovell, Lionel Benbassat of Eurostar, and the Arena strategy team.
The Contagious Marketing Report
The document summarizes insights from a marketing conference. Over 200 attendees participated in a real-time survey. Key insights include: 1) Marketers see opportunity in engaging youth through connectivity and technology; 2) Building trust in a brand is important, especially around crises; 3) Social media allows both seeking and providing recommendations, important for brands to have an ongoing dialogue. The summary captures the high-level theme of insights from marketing professionals on engaging audiences.

Marketing in the digital age
Marketing in the digital age has changed dramatically from previous eras. Technology has disrupted the old model of sparking interest, seeing usage, by inserting additional steps of consumers checking multiple sources and sharing information. This has made consumers feel spoiled, powerful, and uncaring towards brands. As a result, marketers now focus on building ecosystems instead of just direct outreach. They also rely on large agencies to help large brands avoid major failures, as democracy in marketing now comes from these online ecosystems rather than traditional government structures.
[Challenge:Future] Digital age and Human
Digital media is separating people from real social relationships by encouraging excessive time spent on devices instead of with others. This threatens privacy and lowers concentration as new technologies distract from the present. While internet provides convenience, overuse risks neglecting real relationships and sharing too much private data permanently online. It is important to restrict digital device time and focus on socializing directly with friends and living engaged in the real world rather than virtually.

Making People Happy - Humanizing brands with stories
This document discusses how storytelling can be used to humanize brands and link ideas with emotion to convince customers. It notes that the best way to link an idea with emotion is through an interesting story, as was said by Jon Hamm at ADWEEK. The document is from an agency called Making People Happy that helps people, brands, companies and cats make their clients happy through creating interesting stories, community management, and other social media strategies like meaningful conversations and unique brand creation.

How do companies champion their brands in this current digital age
Companies in the digital age can champion their brands through openness, collaboration, authenticity, and transparency on social media. This allows them to have conversations that build trust and empowerment with customers. For example, one company donated $143 million from 1999-2009, $33 million in 2009, but $0 in 2010 by shifting their focus to more social media engagement instead of just philanthropy.

How to Effectively Reach Your Audience in The Digital Age
Attention spans are getting shorter thanks to computers, smartphones and tablets. How do you break through the noise to ensure your audience is engaged with your message? The answer: leverage the power of visual communications. The human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text. See for yourself in this compelling SlideShare presentation.
Sparkler Strategy, brands in the digital age
The digital age has changed how brands interact with consumers. Brands now have interactive relationships across many touchpoints rather than just controlling a one-way relationship. Most traditional ways of thinking about brands come from an era where brands had control, but today brands must run through all aspects of a business. Brands face challenges in managing relationships in today's digital world where culture values interaction over deference.
Humanizing Brands in the Digital Age
This presentation was part of a workshop we conducted at the ClickZ Live conference in Bangkok.
Brands, if they really want to build relationships with consumers need to become more human, more warm and more empathetic. The focus needs to be on relationships and not transactions. Digital allows this relationship to be fostered and create genuine love between the producer & the consumer
Prosumers
This document discusses the concept of the "prosumer", where consumers actively participate in the creation or modification of products. It notes that 10-40% of consumers report participating in product creation or modification. Examples are given of virtual worlds like Second Life, where users create most of the content, providing free development for the companies. However, some risks are mentioned, such as companies losing control over their products or facing competition from user-created modifications. Overall, the document advocates that companies create platforms that empower and reward users as co-creators.
Making Digital Marketing More Human
These slides are from James Caig's talk at the October 2016 Digital Gaggle Conference. James is Head of Strategy at True Digital, an award winning Digital Marketing Agency based in Bristol.
Talk summary: As technology proliferates, making sure your brand still feels human can give you competitive advantage. But it’s not always easy. Digital marketing increasingly feels like it keeps customers at arm’s length, and as your business gets bigger it’s hard to maintain a personal touch. In this talk James will explore these challenges and propose some ways to keep your brand connecting with people as its world turns digital.

Intro: Marketing in the Digital Age
Advertising has been around since the 1860s, but the digital explosion in the last few years means everything we know has to change, right? No. Also, yes. Mike Osswald, VP for Experience Innovation, kicks off the Digital Summit by refashioning 4 basic marketing principles for the digital age.

10 steps towards more human marketing
This document outlines 10 steps for making marketing more human-centered. It advocates for empowering employees, promoting employees as experts, focusing less on self-promotion and more on customers, looking for genuine connections over fans, working hard, using customer data to personalize experiences, acts of kindness, asking questions to listen to customers, sharing personal stories, and making it easy for customers to contact the company directly. Each step provides an example of a company that exemplifies that principle such as JetBlue's employee empowerment policies and Amazon's personalized homepage. The overall message is that combining marketing automation with human interactions leads to better customer experiences and business outcomes.
Oli Gardner — The Conversion Equation (Turing Festival 2016)
Presentation by Oli Gardner, co-founder of Unbounce. Delivered at the Turing Festival in Edinburgh on Friday 19 August 2016.
10 reasons your marketing should be human
The document outlines 10 reasons why marketing strategies should be human-centric. It argues that marketing should deal with humans, not robots; care about the humans being engaged with; listen to what people say; respect their tribes; value relationships over money; understand people's emotions; be available where people are; capture people's divided attention; respect people's privacy; and avoid frustration and irritation. It provides examples and inspiration from companies like TOMS shoes and Vodafone that demonstrate human-centric approaches.

Marketers are always chasing the latest technology to reach consumers, but those same consumers always find new ways to filter marketing out: from the mute button to ad blockers. No matter what kind of technology is available in 2025, the best marketing will still be built on human-to-human relationships.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Harnessing the Power of NLP and Knowledge Graphs for Opioid Research

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
