Welcoming the audience, DIRECT MEDIA United Solutions’ Chief Executive Officer Jovan Stojanović said that the system is readily entering the new age of technology, which will command a comprehensive approach to overcoming business challenges.
“This approach includes openness in creative problem solving paired with in-depth use of technology, all for the purpose of brands responding better and more efficiently to consumers’ needs,” said Jovan Stojanović.
As many as 84% of DMA participants believe that the man of the new communication age still needs to know people better than machines, although they see greater use of technology like machine learning and artificial intelligence in marketing and the media as inevitable and beneficial. According to 65% of respondents, the new communication age advertising campaigns will focus on consumers’ emotions, which is also the opinion of one of the most creative minds of today and DMA speaker Ravid Kuperberg from Mindscapes.
DMA participants concluded that in the new communication age having multidisciplinary skills will be nearly as important, as will proficiency in complex technology.
Acquiring new knowledge and practical skills was the very subject of the two-day training that showcased the latest media and communications trends through Media and Branding modules’ series of talks and workshops. The talks were given by the DIRECT MEDIA United Solutions system’s experts.
Every year, the proceeds from Direct Media Academy registration fees is donated to charity, which will be the case this year, too.
