III. AUDIO STORYTELLING AT SCALE: RESONANCE & RECEPTIVITY IN AUDIO (11:30AM -12:15PM)
Marketers are witnessing a massive technological shift. A new age of connectivity. An audio revolution. In today's media rich environment, where consumer touch points are increasingly screenless, there is no question that sound is fast becoming a primary driver of brand identity and storytelling. How will brands navigate the challenges of this rapidly changing sonic landscape, where capturing ears is as important as capturing eyes?

In this session, learn why audio resonates and how contextually relevant ads drive receptivity during everyday moments – whether it be through relevant mindsets or personalized ad experiences. As Pandora walks you through success stories, marketers will leave thinking about how to harness the power of audio for their own brands and make meaningful connections to tell stories that resonate in this new age of connectivity.
