Is digital really the future of everything? Do you agree that women’s influence on brand choice is increasing? Do you feel that a campaign is nothing without social media? Do you ever wonder what makes some agencies and their brands so successful
The Smartest Event is taking place on 29 November at the Wanderers Club in Johannesburg, and will see the launch of the sixth edition of the Future Group’s brand communication review, The Annual. The marketing master class will tackle two main trends: Women control the TV remote and now they own the brand and Digital – is it really the future of advertising, the brand and the universe? Andy Rice heads up this debate.
Jeremy Maggs will follow with a discussion on just how powerful digital is. With the growing trend for brands to want to be seen in the social media space and communicate with consumers in the interactive digital space, so comes the need to understand the space beyond this need.
Wrapping up the morning will be the announcement of the fourth Agencies’ Agency Award winner, following in the footsteps of DDB SA, Ogilvy Johannesburg and King James. The winner will debate with Maggs, Rice and two of their top clients about sustaining an effective client/agency relationship.
Digital – is it really the future of advertising, the brand and the universe?
