How can technology change marketing for the better?

  • What do we think consumers want different from marketers? Do they want to hear from us at all?
  • Let’s talk programmatic: In what ways has been a force for good? Will blockchain help make media buying more transparent?
  • What do marketers actually feel about the Facebook/Google duopoly? Are they using their power fairly? What can disrupt them?
  • Does the digital economy create more opportunities for new brands/start-ups? Or just cement the existing ones’ power?

  • Why true brand purpose really does start from the top
  • Ben & Jerry’s efforts relating to the Paris Climate Agreement and Singapore’s Green Mark standards
  • The money issue: Why just writing cheques is lazy marketing, and why brands should move beyond CSR
