DESCRIPTION
I presented this trend deck at Social Media Week Chicago 2013, which was themed open, connected and collaborative. I am a Digital Strategy Director at Leo Burnett and Arc Worldwide in Chicago. Videos can all be found at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHczb_3Wdh6ZTC1dKWUpDRVnH0JaH4WQB Now that the dust has settled from the mobile app gold rush, we are now seeing some of the most useful apps releasing their technology for others to use. By opening up databases to developers, rich data can be pushed and pulled with the help of open API technology. The North Face’s Trailhead app has been pulling from EveryTrail.com for years. And while you may not always be checking in using the FourSquare app, FourSquare’s location data powers other top apps like Uber, Instagram and FoodSpotting. Let’s take a look at companies and brands who have opened their APIs and the apps that they’ve powered, from shopping to fitness to wine pairings and more. Walk away with resources to solve problems and inspiration to build the next killer app.TRANSCRIPT
