CONFERENCE RECAPS

DATA & CREATIVITY - DISCUSSION PANEL On March 21st, 2017, I could attend to the Data & Creativity Panel hosted by Decoded. The event consisted of a happy hour, a book launch and of course the discussion panel by four amazing women. The event was conducted by Elizabeth Lukas – CEO of decoded North America, who have work for technology brands as Samsung, Sony, Sharp, IBM and others. The guest speakers were three leaders of the marketing and technology industry; KAY HSU the global Creative Lead at Instagram, Joanna Peña Former Global Chief Creative Officer at IBM and Becky Wang founder of Crossbeat a design agency based in NYC.

Those women in the panel are leaders in their industries and each one with a different focus but at the end using data to create. Kay Hsu who

Last week, March 21 st , I had the pleasure of attending the Advertising Research Foundation’s (ARF) annual conferences which took place at the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel.
