Join us Dec. 1-3 in Nashville for the Digiday Programmatic Marketing Summit
At the Digiday Agency Summit in Palm Springs, Calif., Feb. 19-21, attendees from agencies, technology companies and startups will have the opportunity to work together to hack a brand business challenge.
Digital agency iCrossing and a client brand will put on a contest for DAS attendees to showcase the power of collaboration among marketers, startups and vendors. Participants will be broken into teams and presented with the same challenge: How can a traditional, legacy brand raise awareness among millennials?
After lunch on Feb. 20, teams consisting of creatives, strategists, technologists and brand marketers will hit the war room and be given a set of tools including Wacom digital drawing tablets to determine how their collective skills and technologies can solve the challenge. Each team member will get to showcase to one another and the brand how their company, skill or ideas can help solve real business problems. Teams will present in front of judges from the brand who will help pick the winner.
The Agency Summit will also feature Digiday’s own Jack Marshall discussing his recent side project (created with fellow Digiday staffers Saya Weissman and Brian Braiker): a single-serving site that generates absurd Twitter bios It has received tens of thousands of pageviews and thousands of shares in its first couple of hours after launch yesterday, and it was featured in TechCrunch, The Daily Dot and Laughing Squid.
