These interactions have powerful implications for marketers. This presentation will review some of the key trends in mobile based on Millennial Media’s platform and campaign data, and will illustrate how any organization can successfully utilize mobile display advertising to achieve their marketing goals.
Attendees will leave this event with a deeper understanding of:
- Consumer behavior on mobile

Session Presenter: Jason Cohen, Rockit Digital
There’s an old marketing principle that states “80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers”. This principle implies that, on average, only 20% of your customers are ‘repeat customers’, a relatively small percentage of your overall consumer database. Small changes in marketing and sales strategy can have a large impact on sales. This presentation will explore how simple shifts in marketing resources to collect and utilize consumer data (using digital, social and mobile data collection tools) can create a longer tail of consumer engagement, increasing frequency, average sale, or consumer life cycle to make sure you hit that 80% mark easily.

Session Presenter: Erik Hansen, Bates Creative
Attention spans are contracting, commercials are filtered, messages have a character limit and the competitive landscape is increasingly cluttered. The greatest weapon we have is design.
“Design is not limited to the styling of cars or the planning of buildings. It can determine the success of any man-made object, process, or experience.”
~ Neumeier, Marty. “Metaskills: Five Talents for the Robotic Age”
In order to build awareness, motivate action and build loyalty, companies and organizations must have a compelling story to engage their constituents. With rapidly evolving communication channels, design is the red thread that ensures the experience from the inside-out is consistent, memorable and fosters the goals of the brand.
From trade association to consumer products, there are endless opportunities to differentiate and deliver value – but only design will give brands personality and a visual language that builds a community of advocates, ambassadors and champions to stay relevant. Attendees will leave this event with answers to the following questions:
- What is design (thinking)?
- What drives brand experience?
- How to evolve and manage a visual language?
