The Innovation Brief
Matt’s Top Four Keynote Presentations (All Customizable)
Hitchhikers guide to the new internet
Description: The internet continues to evolve at breakneck speeds. While brands, agencies and marketers in the past could afford a crawl-walk-run approach to the digital age, the entire industry has been strapped to a virtual rocket ship with no navigational system. This keynote will serve as your virtual GPS for the digital age, providing a data driven look to the past that will help determine our future, and where you can find the web3 whitespaces to drive your clients’ business, brand and customer loyalty.
The rise of artificial intelligence
Description ChatGPT-4. Dall-E. Bing. Big Bard. These aren’t the new characters on a futuristic Sesame Street, they’re the AI platforms that are fundamentally changing how we learn, create, and discover the world. A pandora’s box of AI has been opened and every industry, brand, and individual human needs to start thinking of how to navigate this brave new world. This presentation will take you both back in time and project out into the future, arming you with what tools you and your brand will need to stay ahead of the AI curve.
Energy consumption in media + social
Description: We often debate which media platforms are the most powerful for our brands, yet rarely discuss just how much power each sucks from the environment. With ESG in the spotlight of culture and our clients’ minds, we put a microscope (or, ‘media multimeter’) against the top media and social platforms, uncovering who is consuming more than just our collective attention. This presentation demystifies energy consumption and provides you with a clear guide and understanding on what it takes to power every device, stream and piece of stackable content.
Virtual Retail + the future of loyalty
Description: While Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse feels like tomorrow’s futuristic moon shot, today virtual retail is growing all over planet earth (digitally, of course). The sea of sameness that e-commerce has been plagued with for the past ten years has finally started to evolve, thanks to Web3 tools and features that can make a digital shopping experience immersive and exciting. This presentation breaks down the best-in-class virtual retail experiences of today, and gives a glimpse into the future of where digital and virtual e-commerce will evolve.
