I was invited to present at the InsightExchange event in Sydney, Australia, yesterday, on the topic of Content 2.0 and the Future of Marketing & Advertising. Other speakers included fellow Futurist Ross Dawson and Craig Davis, Chief Creative Officer of Publicis / Mojo.
From the event description: "Futurist Gerd Leonhard will talk about the key trends and developments from around the globe, depict the most likely scenarios in the next 3-5 years, and describe opportunities that will arise from the global change to a networked and fully converged ecosystem of Content & Media, Marketing and Advertising"
Some high-lights:
- We are only beginning to understand the huge shift from disconnecte
d to connected 'consumers'
- Connected people act / consume / behave / communicate VERY differently
- Mobile broadband-powered content sharing is going to reset the content industries
- The disruption has only just begun
- Captive consumers are rapidly vanishing
- Advertising and marketing as we knew it is no longer going to work
- Advertising IS CONTENT
