Digital Leaders Trends Briefing
The next event is running under the Digital Leaders banner on the afternoon of 27th Feb in London. Following on from the success of our Digital Leaders Drivers Of Change Trends Briefing, we’d like to invite you to join us at The Magic Circle for the third instalment.
Digital Leaders Trends Briefings are intended to challenge and stimulate you, giving you an expert view of the key issues that are driving change in the digital landscape. The theme of the next event is the ’Age of Participation’ and we’re looking at trends that are visible now but that we expect to have a big impact in the next couple of years.
Please note with all Digital Leaders events we ask you to apply to attend. We do this to ensure all attendees are of Director level and above and that there is the right balance of client, agency and supply businesses. We do not allow overtly sales types or recruiters to attend Digital Leaders events.

Alan Mitchell - Strategy Director at Ctrl-Shift
Individuals are beginning to assert more control over how their data is collected, used and shared. When information becomes a tool in the hands of the individual, traditional notions of targeting and relevance become out-moded. What are tomorrow’smodels of digital marketing?
Ctrl-Shift’s mission is to transform the business of personal data by seizing the opportunities of ’the control shift’ - the shift from companies controlling information about customers to individuals controlling information about themselves. Alan has worked with a number of clients on this opportunity including Aimia, Consumer Futures, Department of Business Innovation & Skills midata project, GfK, RBS and Swift.
Before setting up Ctrl-Shift Alan spent 20 years researching, writing about and commenting on consumer, market and marketing trends: as editor of Marketing magazine, as marketing correspondent for The Times, as a contributor to the Financial Times and columnist for Marketing Week and Brand Strategy. In 1997 he wrote the Financial Times report Brand Strategies in the Information Age. In 2001 he wrote Right Side Up and 2005 The New Bottom Line, which introduced and fleshed out the concept of the control shift.
