When it comes to media consumption, we have arrived at an age of unparalleled consumer choice. Audiences are able to consume content whenever and wherever they want, in whatever form they choose.
To the alarm of advertisers and marketers, this also means audiences are growing increasingly resistant to overtly commercial advertising messages and even outright blocking most forms of conventional advertising, from the embattled 30-second TV commercial to the mobile banner ad. Many brands see salvation in creating their own content, hoping that audiences will seek out, rather than switch off, their messages. Yet many brands get the content game wrong, resulting in embarrassing missteps or content that is greeted with resounding indifference.
In Unlearn What You Have Learned, the author draws on lessons from strategies used by the modern entertainment industry, from classical storytelling to Transmedia strategies to building long term story platforms to fan activation, in order to help brands navigate today’s complex and overcrowded media landscape. Citing examples from major entertainment properties like Marvel and Star Wars, as well as major brands like GE and VISA, marketers will learn how to weave compelling stories and create authentic characters, enabling their brand to play its rightful role in any content they create.

Video game culture is changing, and girls are getting more of a role to play. This presentation discusses this change and where women fit in a gaming audience.
Women in Videogames were developed for an event held by the Department of Foreign Affairs called Empowering IT for Women. The participants were all respected bright women from 17 Asia countries.
The goal of this presentation is to give insight that women has irreplaceable role on IT (specially videogames) development and for passing IT knowledge to the next generation
2016 was a ‘meme-ntous’ year. Memes saw people round the world pretend to be mannequins, they impacted the US presidential election, and nearly led the UK government to name a ship “Boaty McBoatface”.
Memes are nothing new: they have been a staple of culture and communications for thousands of years. What is new is the speed with which memes are created, adapted, and spread around the world via social media.
Today, Internet memes are being used to great effect by brands, third-sector organisations and political movements (from the “alt-right” to their far-left alternatives). Opportunities abound for entities who use them well. If you work in communications you need to understand where Internet memes come from, how they work, and how you can use them. This report answers those questions. Enjoy it and get in touch with queries.
How is the german digital industry doing? And how can we keep up with GAFA? And how do we make people care? Philipp Westermeyer, Founder of OMR, has the answers.

Content Marketing That Wins: Making Brands, Readers AND Google HappySteve Radick
From Social Media Week Chicago 2013: Remember when a content marketing plan might have consisted of a single blog post a week? With consumers constantly bombarded with news and content via an ever-expanding array of media and social platforms, brands have been pressed into a “content arms race” that has them posting to blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Vine, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. every single day. They’re even using automated content creation and curation platforms to feed the beast and stay at the top of search rankings. But how much of this activity actually serves a brand’s business goals? Or truly engages consumers?

Understanding Always On Content Marketingtomchapman
This presentation discusses the topic of ‘always on’ and the need for brands to supply constant, relevant content to their communities.
‘Always on’ generates a feeling with the consumer that sparks recognition, and when utilised correctly over time, it begins to create loyalty. Real time marketing content is the latest approach to engaging consumers with an initial impression that resonates with them enough to follow the story to the end. So the ability to ride your marketing wave successfully means you must simply be prepared to be relevant, and ensure that ‘always on’ firmly forms the foundation of your approach.

The talk will cover tone of voice, design, video, live broadcasting, paid social, engagement and social innovation.

Truth is dead. How should brands respond?Chris Deary
From Brexit to Trump, 2016 saw seismic shifts in our social, economic, political and cultural landscapes.

The rise of chatbots and other machine-assisted forms of communication will only continue to alter our ability to distinguish fact from fiction. How should brands adapt to this new reality?

In today’s era of AI, personalization is more than just a trend—it’s a fundamental strategy that unlocks numerous opportunities.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.\

The Hero
Is the main character
Held back by the ordinary world
Embarks on the journey
Tries to make the world better
Overcomes the challenge by changing himself
Is a better person by the end of the journey

body, the broadcaster and the masses, has been bridged…We can modify
the content. We have become participants.”
