13.45 Innovation 2017: Connecting Data, Devices, Sensory and Solutions | Laura Davis-Taylor | EVP, Customer Experience | MaxMedia
Retail today is faced with a totally new customer, living in an ever-changing transactional landscape—and the only thing we can count on is more change. How, then, should today’s leaders address it? What technologies, what content, what unique experiences, what amount of investment and what measurement tools? The choices are endless, full of risk and make innovation a daunting task. But to innovate, you must first understand what you’re dealing with and how to set yourself up for success. With 20 years of in-store digital experience across multiple strategic roles, Laura’s viewpoints are hard earned and passionately espoused, Laura will share with you (1) today’s new shopper; (2) what’s happening beneath the surface of their experiences and expectations; and (3) how to think like a CXO to digitally motivate and measure them. We know that this session will give you an elevated springboard for 2017 and beyond.
14.15 Lost and Found: The Rise, Fall and Renewal of PRN | Kevin Carbone | CEO | PRN
In the late 1990’s, PRN launched a new industry – in-store media – and quickly built a reputation as an industry pioneer. By 2007, PRN had grown to over $150M in annual revenue, had built a premier portfolio of retail customers, and was considered the undisputed industry leader. Just seven years later, however, PRN had shrunk by two-thirds and its future viability was in question. PRN CEO Kevin Carbone will discuss the business and history of PRN – its rise to a position of industry leadership, its subsequent decline and contraction, and its re-invention as a mission-driven retail solutions company within Stratacache. Kevin will describe the conditions that fuelled PRN’s early growth and success, the mistakes and circumstances that led to its ultimate decline, and the key fundamental changes driving its rebirth and rapid growth.
14:45 Investing in the London Audience | John Pizzamiglio | Lead for Advertising Strategy Commercial Development Directorate | Transport for London
At first glance, Transport for London’s new partnership with Exterion Media is nothing remarkable. A few more transport opportunities added, a couple of sales initiatives incorporated and an encouraging new name and logo to take to market. But without digging too deeply you find that – from the transport network’s point of view at least – this is the first active example of TfL becoming the commercially astute organisation that it needs to be. In an era of negligible public funding, TfL were among the very first to realise that they had to derive more income from the considerable assets that they owned. And the biggest asset that any transport network has is not their property portfolio, nor their retail opportunities, nor their advertising estate. It’s their customers. For TfL it is otherwise known as “The London Audience.” For those interested on investing in the advertising economy – and by definition the digital advertising economy – perhaps they should follow the audiences, not the sales companies or the screen manufacturers. Transport for London’s example could show you how.
15.15 Networking & Coffee Break
15:45 Why Investors Should Be Interested in SmartCities | Dirk Hülsermann | DeBere Capital Partners
