Today more than ever we’re seeing innovation and fast paced developments in emerging media and technologies. Each of these new media offer novel ways for brands to connect with and interact with audiences. These emerging technologies also make a habit of drastically altering the ways in which people shop, consumer media, and interact with each other and the world. Keeping up can be exhausting, even for the most savvy of digital marketers. From mobile games to virtual reality to messaging apps to ephemeral media, which trends are real and which are fads? Which provide opportunities for marketers to innovate and get closer to consumers? How can brands tap into these developments to gain a deeper understanding of who their customers are and what they want?

This year has been a year of celebration and elevation for critical and diverse voices. Social platforms have served as a microphone to turn the conversation up and help everyone be heard. As technology has evolved, people have found new ways to share their perspectives and connect over their personal stories–and lived experience–of challenge and triumph. Chris Stefanyk will discuss self-expression through storytelling, how creative content can drive social impact, and how brands can leverage new platforms and technology to be part of this positive transformation. Gen Z is shaping the conversation around the issues and causes that matter to them, including diverse representation, as seen with the increase in stories on Wattpad tagged #DiverseLit, #FreeMentalIllness, and #genderfluid. We’ve also seen Gen Z drive social impact through storytelling on Wattpad through brand activations including Ben & Jerry’s (Pen Your Pride write-a-thon) and National Geographic (Planet or Plastic? writing contest). The presentation will focus on how Gen Z is using storytelling to drive social impact.
Chris Stefanyk, Head of Brand Partnerships, Wattpad
No form of content can directly drive product sales as powerfully as reviews, and no one is better at writing those reviews than industry experts, the brand’s own super-fans, and employees who work with the product day in, and day out.
In this discussion, we’ll look at how brands can take the traditionally high level and top of funnel of impact influencer marketing and employee advocacy programs down to the product level, leveraging the content created by experts internal and external to build communities, the challenges and opportunities therein, and how marketers can leverage intent data and algorithms to better understand the interests of their prospective customers, and which content to surface at any given time, to best address those needs.

The role of the physical store in the future of retail has drastically changed over the past few years, as new technologies and consumer preferences have paved the way to a new purchase funnel, first through traditional eCommerce, then Mobile Commerce, and now, an increase in direct-to-consumer commercial relationships.
As retail undergoes it’s biggest paradigm shift, the brick and mortar store is being reinvented and brands are looking to new technologies, strategies, and dynamics to engage with their customers in digital channels, to acquire customers and drive them both in-store and through the online purchase funnel.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
