When we set out to create the format, we were looking for something that would enable us to cover and present a lot of information quickly and memorablly. So we look around and determined that aspects of live television had the greatest potential to be efficient, memorable and stimulating.
One of our experts had this to say after participating:
“Spent most of the day at the Marketing Show in Geneva. I actually had a wonderful time for this new event is truly innovative: created by Neil Gibbons and Tom Garrahan, two very seasoned ad and marketing executives, the format is a mixture of taped and live contributions about trends in the digital ecosystem likely to transform the marketing business. It is conceived as a television show, with a live audience and thus can go on tour.
Brilliant idea indeed, and soon to be in a city near you, check their website linked above. Since the live participants are locals, you have a wonderful mixture of taped expertise from all over the world and concrete example of what’s happening in your own market.”
