Future Tech for Brands



Future Tech for Brands




On October 1st 2018, I had the opportunity to attend a conference at Beatwork Studio in New York to discuss the future Tech for the brands. I had the opportunity to meet and hear from professionals in this field how technologies may affect the advertising industry.


The conference included a great speakers such as  Suzana Apelbaum; Head of Creative at Google, Dan Bennet; Worldwide Chief Innovation Office at Grey; Alex Magnin, Head of Revenue for GIPHY and Richard Ting, Global CCO design. That shared their research and trends on the future of technology, while discussing the opportunities for the brands.


We heard that at Google they work at most on assistance technology and voice assistance experience to make advertising most useful and stop interrupting people. Brands can add their personality to it cause everyone now wants voice assistance experience.  Suzana Apelbaum said “many brands are creating experience for their consumers and voice will be the most usual way how brand will communicate with the consumers”.

On the conference the main topic  was traditional social media and social network. As they have mentioned The idea of knowing what your friend is doing is not going away any time soon. Social networks allows anyone to be the spokesperson for any products.

Some highlighted the potential and growth of podcast ad industry, the reason is that brands are not willing to pay more on Facebook ads and brand dont trust it anymore. Some said that might be the reason to se see shift back to traditional Media such as TV., that brands trust more.

The conference was really interesting for me as an art director to see how technology may affect the creatives and how brands can position themselves while the technology in changing so fast.

Session: “Smarter Social Storytelling | Gary Vee Interview” | linkedin.com/in/garyvaynerchuk/ Notable Quote: “Stay Agile: be ready to pivot … Be Human: focus on being empathetic … Serve: be of service to others … Play more: experiment; explore; worst thing to do is to not try new things” Gary is already so well known for this expertise in media strategy and his raw, unfiltered delivery, but this particular interview gave me a much stronger understanding of how he thinks and why his mind is so valuable. One of the most noteworthy things that Gary shed light on is how he is able to land on his insights that often feel near psychic. He explained that his main strategy is to study cycles of human habits in order to predict what should be expected in the future. The example that he gave was in response to why he so heavily advocates for collecting baseball cards. Gary’s explanation is that if you look into the generation that collected baseball cards, you will notice that they are now beco...

“The sun’ll come out tomorrow!” a famous line sung by one of the most popular Broadway shows, Annie.  A perfect way to describe the virtual conference, The Business of Broadway, held on April 21, 2020.  Hosted by the Center of Communication, a non-profit organization that connects students to creative opportunities, I excitedly grabbed the chance to join through my overworked laptop.  Lead by Willie Reale, the Executive Producer of the 52nd Street Project, he interviewed four reputable panelists: Julia Levy, Executive Director of the Roundabout Theatre Company, Vivek Tiwary, Founder and CEO of Tiwary Entertainment Group, Aaliytha Stevens, COO of SpotCo, and Eva Price, Founder and CEO of Maximum Entertainment.

AdWeek 2018, 1 Year Later | William Howard

I fully anticipated attending ADWeek 2018 as soon as I moved to New York. I did not expect AD Week 2018 to come to me. I was living on West 70th Street and AD Week 2018 was a short 3 minute walk from my bedroom, so I had the privilege of attending multiple sessions and dropping in and out as I saw fit, able to return home with ease. I attended sessions each day of ADWeek, but attended the majority on opening day. I wanted to get a wide perspective of the industry at that very moment, and was not disappointed. The first session I attended was hosted by Fer Machado, CMO of Burger King. I was sure to live tweet his session, as his focus was on the power of creativity for brands that are not the leader in their category. I left with a refreshed understanding and appreciation of risk, and the necessity of risk with regards to creativity, you cannot be a cautious creative. If your brand wants to stand out, you have to be willing to take creative risks, to get the attention your brand needs, ...
