The Post-Advertising Summit celebrates the end of the broadcast age and the dawn of a new era for marketing. The advertising-as-interruption model has collapsed and the ad world is evolving. Today, we live in an opt-in culture, which means the only messages your audience will see or hear are those that they choose to see and hear. So how do you get positive attention? By creating great media that is relevant, informative, and on-brand.
In a Post-Advertising world, brands can only communicate with audiences by producing genuinely useful and entertaining content…the kind people actually want, and can share. This summit is a peek into how it’s done. A morning panel and work session focus on the FUTURE OF INFORMATION. The afternoon shifts focus to the FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT. The Summit will prove the promise of Post-Advertising by demonstrating the amazing content that can be created by smart people on behalf of sponsors, and the extent to which great stories will spread.
