SUCCESS STORY — CAPTURING ATTENTION AND DRIVING ENGAGEMENT THROUGH IMAGES
Tony Winders, SVP of Marketing, GumGum
Consumers are interacting with images more than ever and publishers are incorporating them into more visually compelling cross-platform site designs. So it’s no surprise that in-image advertising is emerging as a brand-safe way to reach consumers in-line with relevant content where they are actively engaged. GumGum SVP of Marketing Tony Winders provides an overview of in-image advertising and explains how brand marketers are using it to target and engage audiences at scale.

Social Media and the Age of Influence
Social media is certainly one of the most exciting and important byproducts of the digital era. For the first time ever, consumers have a voice and a platform to publicly share how they feel — good and bad — about the brands that they interact with. It has also enabled brands to identify and engage with their consumers on a 1:1 basis, 24/7. In addition, Social has provided brands with the ability to turn their most loyal and avid fans into advocates and brand ambassadors. Has social media made brands more vulnerable? How are successful brand marketers using social media to build rapport and relationships with their consumers, rather than letting social media take control of their brands? Learn how to harness the power of social media to build your brand.
