WHAT IT IS This two day session brings together some of the leading digital thinkers and practitioners – from agencies that are totally digital to those in the midst of transformation – in order to share obser-vations, insights, and ideas along with approaches that actually work. The agenda will cover all aspects of what it takes to start thinking and behaving more digitally.

On day one, we cover consumer trends, digital strategy, new teams and processes, the evolution of user-experience, a definition of great digital creative, and how to actually build things. The day includes two hands-on work sessions; one that explores our own anxieties and aspirations, and a second that challenges us to actually create something digital.

On day two, we cover new agency models and their lessons, the challenges of transforming an organization, the role of technology and how to fuse it with creative, and finally, how to mobilize consumers to participate in new and relevant ways.  Again, we’ll conduct two hands-on work sessions – one that encourages you to think about how you’d change your own organization, and a second on ways to inspire consumer participation in digital experiences you create.

When you leave, you'll have a better under-standing of the roles, processes, and evaluation criteria needed to evolve, both as an individual and as a company.

LEAD INSTRUCTORSEdward Boches Chief Innovation Officer – Mullen

Edward Boches is one of Mullen’s four original partners. Over the last 28 years he has helped define the agency’s creative standards, established its public relations group, integrated digital design and production into all of the agency’s operations, and launched its growing social media practice. Today he primarily focuses on helping the agency and its clients draw from emerging technologies, cultural movements, social platforms and changing consumer habits to create more effective communication platforms, social experi-ences and digital utility. In addition to his day job, Edward speaks frequently on industry and consumer trends and how to transform agencies to become more digital. He has a popular Ad Age 150 blog, Creativity_Unbound; serves on the board of directors at Boulder Digital Works, lecturing at its executive workshops; and is also a board member at Spring Partners, makers of the popular Springpad application. You can find him on Twitter @edwardboches and occasionally at http://thenextgreatgeneration.com, a crowd-sourced Gen-Y blog that he incubated and continues to support.

Matt HowellGlobal Chief Digital Officer, Managing Partner – Arnold

Matt has built his career at the intersection between marketing and technology. He arrived at Modernista! via R/GA, where he lead the Nike team in its creation of industry-defining products such as Nike+, Nike iD and the Nike Online Store. Previously, he launched an R/GA expansion office in Stockholm, Sweden. Matt began his career in traditional advertising at Ogilvy & Mather in London before transitioning to digital marketing in 1996. Since this time, he has overseen work for clients ranging from AT&T to Sony to Cadillac to Prada. Over his career, Matt’s work has taken top honors at Cannes, the One Show, the Clios, and others, and has been featured regularly in Communication Arts and Creativity. He also sits on the Board of Directors at Boulder Digital Works at the University of Colorado, where he is a frequent lecturer. Matt joined Modernista! in 2008 to run the interactive group. His first major action was to dissolve the practice, integrating interactive thinking and execution into the heart of the agency’s offering. He stepped into the role of President in 2010. He has recently joined Arnold Worldwide as the Global Chief Digital Officer and Managing Partner.

Gareth KayDirector of Brand Strategy – Goodby, Silverstein & Partners

Gareth joined GSP in 2009 to lead strategic thinking on the agency's digital output and to help foster digital thinking and innovation throughout the agency's strategic output. Prior to GSP, Gareth established the planning discipline at Modernista!, building a department recognized for both its creative inspiration and business effectiveness. He was recently recognized by his peers as the most respected planning director in the U.S. He began his career in the U.K. helping develop award-winning communications for Waterstone's, fcuk, the BBC, Reebok and Unilever. He graduated from Oxford University with an MA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Gareth also serves on the board of the VCU Brandcenter, is a cofounder of the non-profit Planning For Good and writes one of the first planning blogs, “Brand New.”

Tim MalbonFounding Partner – Made by Many

Tim joined The Internet in 1999, designed his first social sites in 2000, and has been making new digital stuff ever since. For most of his career he’s been fortunate enough to work with entrepreneurs, start-ups and media owners to invent and create whole services and businesses, and somehow he’s managed to avoid ever having to design a banner ad. Tim writes about the future of media for the Telegraph and was recently named as one of Revolution Magazine’s ‘Future 50¬ – one of the the “marketers, authors, entre-preneurs, and thinkers who will shape the digital industry of tomorrow”. It also called him “disruptive and challenging”. Tim has a number of side projects and obsessions bubbling away, including his ‘brand-stalking’ experiments and an interest in hyper-localism. You can find him on Twitter at @malbonster – come and say hello.
