SuperSession A:
Global Media and Advertising: The Transition - TV, Broadband, Mobile and Social Media
As global media is transformed from a broadcast television based economy to a revolutionary media world with multiple disciplines, structuring advertising concepts and strategies equal to the profound change is the task at hand. In this session, we will look for a comprehensive understanding of what advertising in the next generation will look like. The world of advertising has been completely dislocated by the acceptance and integration of the new technologies, from PVR and Broadband to Social Networks, VOD, Mobile, Blogs and ITV. As the consumer is being both barraged by content and choice, he/she is invariably being overwhelmed by the technology itself. While the decisions being made by the advertising community are always measured and incremental, the technologies at hand are profound and will only move ever forward. How fast and at what rate of impact is still to be understood, but the question is no longer about consumer acceptance and proof of distribution. The new technologies are successfully invading traditional media and the good news is rather than leaving the advertiser without a way of reaching the audience, the new technologies may ultimately prove to be better and more comprehensive vehicle for reaching and developing relationships with an even larger customer base
