•  “IQ as a service ie electricity"

•  New teams where humans and AI work together

•  Will require new organisational structures and management skills

•  Jobs for humans will change to focus on creativity, innovation, relationships and experiences

RE/digital

Five core principles to how machines learn

• Fill in gaps in existing knowledge • Emulate the brain • Simulate Evolution • Systematically reduce uncertainty • Notice similarities between old and

new

Next is creating a “universal algorithm”, the one single method that can allow machines to universally solve every problem we have

Yes it does feel a bit foolish. And way too real if you’re not a fan of heights (like me)

Oculus Rift and HTC Vive High end VR options

•  Fully immersive experience

•  Incredibly life-like experience (therefore not great for some games!)

•  Usage: think anything you’d want to be able to teleport or time travel for!

What’s really exciting about it?

VR is not just for gamers VR will be the most social of social media It will be about sharing experiences The value of the experience will be highlighted  by the social connections and building of the network Incredible opportunities for learning and developing new skills Think: teleportation or time travel Effective multi-market teams

All of these connected devices are generating huge amounts of data… and personal data What do consumers think about all of this?

• The value exchange is key • Consumers giving up personal data in exchange for free

services • Younger demographics used to it/more open to it • At the same time there is a rise in ad-blockers • The cookie is becoming less relevant on mobile devices… and

so everyone is looking for single sign in across devices

We are all publishers and need to think about how and where our brands are sharing content

“Content is king, platform is queen. The content is equal in value to the platform.  Lean in to deeper relationships with platforms like Facebook and Google.” Jed Hartman, WSJ

“You have to have a brand that’s sticky enough to reach audiences wherever they are” Lindsay Nelson, Vox

Q: Biggest challenge for the industry?A: How to tell stories across a fragmented ecosystem and help brands market across so many channels

Page 34: Technology, AI and the future of marketing: key themes from SXSW

RE/digital

More sophisticated consumer tastes across the more fragmented ecosystem = content to be developed for each different platform

One size does not fit all

Page 35: Technology, AI and the future of marketing: key themes from SXSW

RE/digital

Authenticity of voice is key in a future driven by technology

Consumers are looking for that human connection so they want to hear a "voice" Voice driven entities are what are doing well, rather than just the facts Having point of view and perspective is key to creating engagement with consumers

•  Constantly trying new production techniques, technologies

•  Human storytelling •  Don’t think about what

the audience wants as they don’t necessarily know – create what you think they want

Overview •  Recruited two key influencers with

established social network and asked the community to guide on where to go and what to do

The Learnings: •  Platform should ehance the

concept •  Plan what you can! There is no re-

shooting •  Don’t think about what the

audience wants as they don’t necessarily know – create what you think they want

•  Let go of the reins

What works in Live Streaming?

• Experimentation is key – just get on and start trying things • Think about the story and how to tie it into your overall editorial

calendar • Choose the influencers and talent wisely • Use Live Streaming to launch new features and offers • Bring the legal team on the journey with you! • Once you’ve built the audience, you need to keep them coming

back with fresh content

What is the Hyperloop? “A capsule full of people in a low pressure tube elevated on pylons that goes really fast from point A to point B”

Page 45: Technology, AI and the future of marketing: key themes from SXSW

RE/digital

Two EXTRA interesting parts to the Hyperloop story

Innovation’s halo effect Collaboration across borders, built on passion

A whole field of innovation in products and services around the main Hyperloop -  Transport to and from the Hyperloop -  Augmented reality -  Pylon creation - even looking at how

the pylons create water -  New ways to create energy

“Crowd-powered incubator” Pulling together passionate teams from across the global – cultural/religious differences do not matter They have a shared goal They’re small working teams focused on particular tasks New project management approaches

Page 46: Technology, AI and the future of marketing: key themes from SXSW

Designing for the anticipation of change

In future we will need to design with "liquid expectations" in mind Will need to design many experiences for each consumer - as each experience will need to be tailored to that customer Requires an incredibly deep understanding of your customer and their daily moments
