Digital Hollywood
Thursday, May 8th
9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
Track IV:
Advertising in Social Media, Mobile, Search, P2P and other Web Based Services
In this session we will address the relationship of advertising and commerce in the more cutting edge media platforms of P2P, Search, and social media. A revolution in advertising and commerce is on its way, and the fully interactive and immersion based platform of social media and gateway concepts such as search are proving to be the most inherently targeted vehicles for interacting with the consumer. We are at the first stages of not only understanding how the technology is impacting the consumer, we are likewise at the first stages of what the technology looks like and how it will function. Advertising and commerce in cutting edge broadband and mobile is our future and in this session, we hope to set a baseline for future exploration.
