Advertising in Emerging Culture: Forget What You Think You Know

Sunil Yadav, Director of Agency Development, Twitch

We are at a tipping point in marketing, one driven by Gen Z and the influence they have over culture. This generation is moving away from the individualised social amplification of social media to a more community-centric, connected, decentralised experience found originally in gaming environments. As the largest generation to date steps into their role as trendsetters leading social and cultural change, with more economic power than ever before, brands need to understand their influence or risk being left behind. In this session we introduce a new Generation – Generation Twitch, an audience spanning Millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who are all under the influence of the emerging social codes. We reveal what matters to these meme masters, their values and social behaviours, how they communicate and their expectations of brands.

The New Rules of Social Media

Ashley Faus, Content Strategy Lead, Atlassian

Imagine you’re at a party and find yourself in a seemingly endless conversation with someone who only wants to talk about themselves… Can you feel yourself tune out as you desperately eyeball the nearest escape route? Unfortunately, your one-sided conversation with that chatty party-goer is the embodiment of way too many brands’ social media strategies. So what to do instead? Become the company who makes people feel smart & cool and introduces them to the other smart, cool people at the online party. In this session, explore the new rules of social media and how your business can use it to build authentic long-term relationships with your audience.

Calibrating Our Perspective on Segmentation

Dr. Marcus Collins, Head of Strategy, Wieden + Kennedy

Today’s connected world provides marketers unprecedented access to consumer data. We can track what people like, where they go, what they share, what they buy, and so on. The reams of passive information that people shed on a daily basis allow for more targeted messaging and measurement. However, while this intelligence has made marketers more confident, it has not made them more accurate in their efforts. This deficiency is not due to a lack of available data, rather, it is born from a lack of truly understanding people. This talk uncovers a new and more accurate approach to segmentation so that we might improve our marketing accuracy, extract the true potential of data, and, ultimately, get closer to predictive modeling.
