General Session spotlight for mediaXchange

Don’t miss the General Sessions at mediaXchange

Rishad’s perspective: They used to say “speed kills”. In the digital industry lack of speed is the killer. Move fast or don’t move at all. I have seen businesses saved and businesses poached away by firms that could provide a new way of understanding the marketplace. Something that is so obvious and yet not obvious. If we are living in an age where consumers are in control, understanding them is critical.

“A new style of CMO has arrived. …While Mr. Hayzlett, 48, is certainly not the only social-media-maven CMO, he is one of the more visible and active. BizTechDay named him a top-20 Twitter All-Star for business, and he's one of the 100 or so executives followed on ExecTweets . …. But while Mr. Hayzlett has been untraditional, as critics charge, he's also been effective.”  – Ad Age

Jeff’s perspective: We're spurred by innovation, and what I mean by that is by our transformation from a company that was rooted in our film and imaging heritage into now a more classic digital company. In the last five years we've shifted 75% of our revenues into digital products and services. Get to the value proposition. Get to promoting the product. Deliver on the promise to the customer is how you build the brand.

Ilya’s perspective: We read everywhere about rapid and constant change and, therefore, the increasing unpredictability of the future. And yet, we have seen little in the way of tools and methods to manage that change effectively and proactively. The tools of traditional business planning start with the assumptions that maintaining the current state is the best strategy and that incremental growth is a satisfactory outcome. What if we can no longer base our future business on what has happened in the past?

In addition, a panel of media experts will share their insights on the changing roles and value positions for local media and how newspapers and their portfolio can best adapt to compete and win back share.  The panel will include speakers from :  phd, Brand Science, resolution media, NOVUS, Business Intelligence and Outdoor Media Group.
