Despite massive upheaval in our industry – from podcasting to programmatic, digital transformation has barely begun.
A recent study showed that it will contribute $45 billion to Australia’s GDP by 2021.
In three years’ time, the media, marketing and advertising landscape will have significantly recalibrated once again.
At this year's Melbourne Media + Marketing Summit, held 25 July The Arts Centre, we will hear from Havas Melbourne MD Matt Houltham and World Vision CMO Teresa Sperti about how they played catch-up, being primed to embrace the next three years of transformation.
Houltham and Sperti will be on deck to answer questions such as: Why is digital transformation important? Why is digital transformation important for World Vision? And what has been learn't on World Visions' digital transformation journey?
The session 'One brand and agency’s part of the $45bn unfinished journey: Havas and World Vision' is not to be missed.
Taking place at Southbank's The Arts Centre, further hot topics include a look at the promise of TV addressability, how AI is on the brink of revolutionising media and looking Beyond #MeToo, while we also dig into how to make the marriage between client and agency really work – with Clemenger Melbourne and NAB.
Not only does the day offer a great chance to swot up on the latest industry trends, issues and goings on, but it's also one of the best networking opportunities adland has.
