Rethinking brand for the rise of digital commerce
The events of 2020 saw brands cut their brand investment focusing heavily on “digital spend”. The growth in retail media and shoppable formats, raises the question whether creative brand-building still matters. On June 22nd WARC's VP of Content, David Tiltman, will take the festival’s virtual stage to examine the latest research on building brands for the digital economy and its relationship to creativity and media.
The keynote will accompany the launch of a new white paper that brings together new thinking and exclusive insights from industry experts such as James Hurman, the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, Wavemaker and Karen Nelson-Field, and media owners such as Facebook and Google, to give marketers the frameworks to build brand strategies fit for an age of digital commerce.
