Digital Leaders Trends Briefings open a window onto the future for digital marketers. They look beyond the immediate concerns of the sector and ask “what's next?”
The world is deleting itself every ten seconds, or so Snapchat would have us believe. Communication is like water following the path of least resistance with new social behaviour inspiring new technologies which in turn inspire new behaviours. This Trends Briefing explores the trends that are changing relationships between people and brands.
This event will be co-curated with Tom Ollerton, Marketing Director of We Are Social. who will introduce four industry leading speakers. Each of these speakers will give you a screen grab of the next 18 months in digital/social and what you need to do about it. The event will be divided into four segments:
Business -Business models are changing like the weather, disruption is a default. The music industry was the first to go, now film? Who is next? Banks? Governments?
Content - This talk will look at the changing world of content, its form, its role and its meaning for brands.
Culture - With all this change in business, tech and content what is happening to us as people. Are we integrated as serendiptious micro niches or are we siloed away in digital rabbit holes listening to our own feedback loops. This presentation discusses the psychological factors driving human behaviour in the hyper social future.
Technology - Drones, phones, clones and prosthetic bones. Technology and innovation are blooming in all sectors and all walks of life.
