The total reset of marketing, branding and media – are you ready for the future? Gerd Leonhard Powerful technologies and a significant personal habit changes are impacting societal, economic and political developments. Marketing is following media/content as the next big arena for change – consider what has happened to music, film/TV and newspaper industries and then extrapolate on what will happen to marketing, branding and advertising in nearby future. Integration of media and communication channels (online-offline, augmented reality, responsive design, social TV), problems and challenges of editing, distribution and monetizing media content are just some of the challenges in the industry. These are also some of the topics that Gerd Leonhard will touch on; showing examples from around the globe and presenting future scenarios that will become reality quicker than you might think.
