Don’t miss the General Sessions at mediaXchange
How Digital Platforms Are Transforming Marketing- Rishad Tobbacowala, CEO, Denuo
“Tobaccowala is… one of the industry's leading media strategists, and that makes him one of the new oracles of Madison Avenue…. With a sterling track record, Tobaccowala is first among the new stars of ad agencies.” – BusinessWeek
 |
Rishad’s perspective:
They used to say “speed kills”. In the digital industry lack of speed is the killer. Move fast or don’t move at all.
I have seen businesses saved and businesses poached away by firms that could provide a new way of understanding the marketplace. Something that is so obvious and yet not obvious. If we are living in an age where consumers are in control, understanding them is critical. |
Transforming a Brand: A Case Study of Success- Jeff Hayzlett, CMO, Kodak
“A new style of CMO has arrived. …While Mr. Hayzlett, 48, is certainly not the only social-media-maven CMO, he is one of the more visible and active. BizTechDay named him a top-20 Twitter All-Star for business, and he's one of the 100 or so executives followed on ExecTweets. …. But while Mr. Hayzlett has been untraditional, as critics charge, he's also been effective.” – Ad Age
 |
Jeff’s perspective:
We're spurred by innovation, and what I mean by that is by our transformation from a company that was rooted in our film and imaging heritage into now a more classic digital company. In the last five years we've shifted 75% of our revenues into digital products and services.
Get to the value proposition. Get to promoting the product. Deliver on the promise to the customer is how you build the brand. |
Driving Innovation- Ilya Prokopoff, Partner, IDEO
“From its inception, IDEO has been a force in the world of design. It has designed hundreds of products and won more design awards over the past decade than any other firm. Yet by showing global corporations how to change their organizations to focus on the consumer, IDEO is becoming much more than a design company. Indeed, it is now a rival to the traditional purveyors of corporate advice: the management consulting companies such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting, and Bain.” – Institute for Human-Centered Design
 |
Ilya’s perspective:
We read everywhere about rapid and constant change and, therefore, the increasing unpredictability of the future. And yet, we have seen little in the way of tools and methods to manage that change effectively and proactively. The tools of traditional business planning start with the assumptions that maintaining the current state is the best strategy and that incremental growth is a satisfactory outcome. What if we can no longer base our future business on what has happened in the past? |
Customer Straight Talk
In addition, a panel of media experts will share their insights on the changing roles and value positions for local media and how newspapers and their portfolio can best adapt to compete and win back share. The panel will include speakers from : phd, Brand Science, resolution media, NOVUS, Business Intelligence and Outdoor Media Group.
How Social Media Has Transformed the Media Landscape - Grady Burnett, Facebook
 |
Facebook has emerged as the undisputed leader in social media platforms, transforming the way users communicate and share information along the way. Now reaching more than 100 million users in the U.S. -- half of which log on everyday – Facebook executives have set their sites on how to monetize that massive audience. Grady Burnett, director of global and inside sales, will share Facebook’s vision of its role in the media ecosystem and how traditional media companies can capitalize on their near-pervasive platform.
