Session: 12 Trends Worth A Conversation

Speaker: President, Bob Pearson

These trends are part of a larger shift in communications and marketing that we refer to as Storytizing. In the future, we won’t be starting with the idea that we’ll advertise to a market. Our customers will show us the blueprint for action via their conversation and behavior and then we’ll empower them to share our story and amplify it with earned, shared, owned and paid media ideas. We won’t advertise and we won’t count impressions. We won’t care which part of PESO we use. All we’ll care about is the market’s desire to share our brand’s story.
