Advertising-Part 1
Keeping Up with the Consumer – How to Deliver the Best End User Experience, While Achieving the Greatest Impact for Mobile Advertisers
As media consumption moves away from traditional channels to the digital realm, advertisers and media companies are facing a growing threat of erosion to revenue streams. In this presentation, Gareth Senior, CTO of Comptel Corporation, will address the strategies operators and advertisers should assume to capture consumer attention in the fast-paced and ever-changing telecom environment, and how Operational Support Systems (OSS) can help support these new business models.
Mobile Advertising: Forget the Hype! Let’s Spotlight the Real Campaigns and Best Practices that are Changing Advertising and Face the Real Remaining Challenges
All eyes are on a new wave of media sweeping the globe, affecting the way people of all ages engage and interact with content and mobile phones are leading the way. Agencies and brands who have figured this out early are now showcasing successful integrated and stand-alone mobile marketing campaigns with dramatically increasing relevancy and unprecedented results. While industry experts debate the fate of advertising spends during these economic times, the internet and its more interesting subset, mobile, continues to show signs of growth. Join top thinkers from interactive, integrated and mobile agencies in an enlightening discussion about the true state of mobile marketing and what agencies need from publishers, ad networks, carriers and vendors in the near term in order to start spending more money. The group will explore: • Opportunities and limitations of mobile ad campaigns, • Best-in-class stand alone and integrated case studies, • Consumer readiness and reactions, • Campaign metrics, rich media, analytics and optimization
The Evolving Digital Media Framework for Service Providers and Content Players
Media consumption per person is rising via youth and the use of a range of multiple devices. This fragments audiences and challenges traditional ad-supported business models – geared towards single platforms. Ecosystem evolution drives new roles for content aggregation and distribution. A framework is required where service providers work with content creators to enable next-gen digital media sales and consumption. Service providers can play significant roles in a structure of media retailers, clearinghouses, and creators -- delivering on the three-screen ‘media menu’ promise.

Summit Keynote: Beyond Digital, What is the Outlook for Intelligent Information?
The volume of published digital information is growing exponentially: The smart money is on finding the ‘intelligence-filter’ switch. Driven by new technologies, new media, new business models and sometimes, unexpected new industry players, the need to find reliable and valuable information is getting harder, not easier. Winners will move beyond the digital battle and both provide and consume information that has true intelligence - defined by trust, usability and speed - powering decisions, markets and economies. The presentation describes evolution of digital information and how participants need to adapt to these, and future changes.
Summit Keynote: Content Providers in the Value Chain
This presentation will specifically look at ‘over the top’ online video and cover: • How the content media and network access value chains are merging • Who the players are and what they bring to the table • Some of the challenges - business models, language, industry ‘norms’ It may not be possible to accurately predict what the new world will look like, in what timeframe this will occur or exactly who will eventually play what role creation, delivery, management & monetization of content in the new digital media world. This presentation will attempt to outline future scenarios and solutions, drawing heavily upon knowledge of the UK market .
As Television becomes Addressable?
The current opportunities for iptv and other forms of on-line video exist as much on account of the inefficiencies of the current broadcast model as the value of the new models. We have the mass (but falling and undefined) audiences on one hand; with the highly targeted (but low reach) audiences on the other. Technology is allowing these two worlds to converge – as they do what will be the key factors which decide the winners and the losers and what is the role of the Media Investment Companies in this?

Summit Keynote: Rebooting Advertising
New technologies, new media and new business models enable agencies and brands to act in a really old fashioned way. This new world enables agencies to go back to what they used to be good at – solving problems; solving brands problems by solving peoples problems. As all media goes social brands can now listen to what people are saying, watch their digital body language and identify who would be interested in hearing about a brand and what a suitable topic of conversation might be. Data from service providers, third parties such as retailers and from brands themselves are driving new forms of messaging based on profile, context, & community - meaning that brands can now say things people are likely to find interesting, useful or entertaining. As the dialogue continues brands can measure how valuable people are– and how valuable the brand is to the person. So advertising becomes all about dialogue and the social etiquette of conversations that everyone uses in their life, becomes the driver of the business. - Illustrated by examples from our client base.
Summit Keynote: Prospering in Challenging Times
To prosper in these challenging times, media organizations require a flexible, focused, innovative and integrative approach to business operations. The industry is grappling with a range of emerging commercial models, many of which reflect the transition to free, ad-supported, on-demand, and online distribution of media assets. Understanding the economic climate refers to being malleable enough to react swiftly and appropriately to changing global market forces and technology trends. With that in mind, the value road map charts the potential opportunities for strategic partnerships across each consumer touch point including content creation, audience acquisition, user engagement, and commercialization.

Advertising Business Models for Service Providers: Learnings from the Broadcast Industry
With the explosion of content and value added services, service providers are exploring new business models that can monetize customer attention through relevant and targeted advertising. However, this new landscape is fraught with a host of challenges that are new to the telecom industry. These range from managing advertising inventory, leveraging real time customer intelligence to deliver the right ad at the right time and managing advertising sales, delivery, consumption and billing. This presentation will discuss several case studies from the broadcast industry with specific focus on how new media advertising models can be applied to telecom.
From ARPU to CPM – How Mobile Operators can beat Google and Microsoft
For the first time in the history of media, a single entity – the operator – has visibility across ALL media consumption channels (voice, browsing, video, games, music, messaging, social networking, search, etc); and therefore has the ability to become the central point for distributing "relevant ad-impressions" across all media channels to one single user. This position of strength gives carriers the best chance of beating the web giants Microsoft and Google as they attempt to migrate from the web to the wireless world and plan to outperform operators on the monetization of the wireless audience. This keynote will look at how operators need to change and adapt in order to beat the Web giants and become the media companies of the future.

Summit Keynote: Get the Right Content to the Right Subscribers at the Right Time
Broadband providers need to deliver any content to subscribers anytime they browse the Internet. Service providers can create and deliver in-browser messages to targeted subscribers or mass audiences within minutes, reaching more subscribers at the right times with improved effectiveness and measurable results. B/OSS applications can trigger timely notifications about billing, bandwidth usage or network abuse; this protects digital rights on providers’ networks, decreases bandwidth consumed by illegal use, and cuts notification costs by reducing outbound calls, emails, letters, direct mail and inbound calls. In-browser messages can educate subscribers, direct them to legal content sources, and promote bandwidth upgrades or other services. The session will look at how best to interact with online subscribers at any time while helping service providers improve customer service, cut costs, increase revenue, and develop a more strategic position in the value chain.
Summit Keynote: Bringing Value to the Digital Media Value Chain
MySpace has created a connected global community by integrating web profiles, blogs, instant messaging, e-mail, music streaming, music videos, photo galleries, classified listings, events, groups, college communities, and member forums. Social networks are the breeding ground for a range of new advertising and business approaches, which redefine the relationship between users, advertisers and platform. The MySpace story provides some very interesting insights into the new digital value chain. It will look at offerings like MySpace Music, MySpace Video, but also a more diverse view at creating unique value chain models.

The Macroeconomic Scenario is Changing Rapidly Requiring a Solid Strategy for the Future
The macroeconomic scenario is changing rapidly with tremendous impact on company day-by-day operations, asking for tactic adjustments on the run and a solid strategy for the future. Broadband market growth slow-down, customers ubiquity needs, increasing demand of bandwidth and rising of pressure in the competition arena are main expected trends that Telco market is going to face in the upcoming years. The continuous analysis of those tendencies, either on consumer and business segments, is key to better address the FASTWEB strategy to score the bull’s eye.
How Digital is Forcing us to Reinvent Our Business Model
Digital is deeply transforming our business model, facing us to unpredictable changes, creating not only new revenue stream sources but also new competitors, modifying the battle field and the value chain. Thinking out of the box and being ready to take some risks is the only way to succeed. Digital is not only installing a new technology at customer's house, that is just the beginning. The real changes are just starting to happen; companies are investing a lot to compete in a new environmentand create new revenue streams. But sometimes the customers' behaviour doesn´t change as rapidly meaning that the promised new revenue doesn't come as soon as planned but competition does.
