WHO ARE YOU CREATING FOR: THE HUMAN OR THE DEVICE?
We’ve all heard the adage “Content Is King”, but it’s not hard to see that it is truly the consumer experience that rules. It’s not enough just to create good content anymore. It must be relevant, spark an emotional reaction, and move users to action. When the consumer disengages from your brand, the question must be asked, are you creating for the human or the device? John Lim, CEO of Life in Mobile and the visionary behind the Create For The Human platform, will discuss how you can create killer content, shatter the benchmark for engagement rates, and deliver bottom line results by following the four pillars of this new breakthrough philosophy.

CONTENT BY COMMITTEE: HOW NASCAR SHIFTED GEARS TO FUEL FAN ENGAGEMENT
For years, various business units within NASCAR were creating tremendous content, but doing so in a vacuum. Their objective was strictly tied to the overall needs of that business unit, without the content having connective tissue to the overall strategy of the company. Just under two years ago, NASCAR created a content committee comprised of representatives from the company’s content creating and distribution departments. The hope was that better integration between various groups and their projects would lead to increased fan engagement. In this session, Evan Parker, managing director, series marketing and content strategy at NASCAR, will discuss how the committee helped break down silos and maximize the reach of content produced by NASCAR.
