Brands Bet on Digital Hosted by
Hello and ... Welcome to our fourth annual edition of Brand Innovators Mega-Trends in Las Vegas!
Brandon Gutman Co-Founder
Marc Sternberg Co-Founder
Over the past twenty years, the Internet, digital media and advertising technology have radically transformed the way brands engage with their consumers. New formats, such as digital video advertising, social media, and content marketing are forcing brand marketers to think differently about how they market their products and services. In addition, new mobile platforms, including smart phones and tablets are changing consumer behavior and creating opportunities for brands to connect with consumers anytime, anywhere, and on any device, in ways that could never have imagined only a few short years ago. At the same time, breakthroughs in Big Data and analytics, geo-targeting, marketing automation and ConnectedTV are allowing brand marketers to target and personalize their messages in real-time, in new and exciting ways. Welcome to the Digital Age and the next generation of marketing, media, and advertising technology! Brand Innovators Mega-Trends will provide brand marketers from Fortune 500 and other leading brands with an important forum to share success stories about how they are using digital media and advertising technology to build loyalty and long term relationships with their consumers. We will hear from some of the best and brightest brand marketers at some of the most iconic brands in the world, about how they are using technology to drive new customers into the purchase funnel. Thank you to everyone in the Brand Innovators community who contributed to today’s program. We encourage everyone to contribute to our conversation about the digital transformation of the marketing and media industries, both during and after today’s event. Enjoy the show and we look forward to seeing you, again, at our next event coming soon to a city near you! Marc Sternberg
