| Chronicles of Cannes - Day Two: The Redux | | 19 June 2013, 9:05AM |  Day two dawned....and with it another migration back to the Palais.
Annie Leibovitz explained the art of bringing a story down to a single moment, and shared the inspiration behind the campaign she created with Disney making tales as old as time relevant to today. We heard from Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Google (yes, really) reinforcing the importance of storytelling in driving audacious invention. Mother warned us to hang on to the joy of craft and keep our brains happy in order not to become advertising douchebags. And Facebook discussed scalable creativity.

What has the Statue of Liberty got in common with Kickstarter? Well in 1885 cash from more than 120,000 civic-minded Americans helped New York build the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. That makes it the first record of 'crowdfunding' – comfortably beating Kickstarter by nearly 130 years.
| | | | Social Brands: Part Five - Change is coming | | 19 June 2013, 6:30AM |  For the past few decades, marketing has been dominated by a mass-media paradigm. During that time, we’ve defined the ‘best’ marketing as that which makes the most efficient use of broadcast media, and as a result, we’ve spent decades perfecting an approach that’s all about reducing the cost of interrupting people.
| | | | Chronicles of Cannes - The Arrival | | 18 June 2013, 9:08AM | 
The annual advertising hajj that is the Cannes Lions has kicked off in a steamy haze of rosé, Brazilians and flashy boats. Twelve thousand delegates are desperately seeking out free drinks in between trying to squeeze into packed talks by a mix of celebs, industry legends, wannabes and hasbeens.
| | | | Should brands get involved with Snapchat? | | 18 June 2013, 8:59AM |  The photograph of two teenage girls recreating a Cara Delevignge-style funny face on Snapchat's homepage gives a good indication of where this buzzy new app see their audience. For the uninitiated, or those no longer in the sixth form, the app works by allowing smart phone photos or videos to be sent to groups or individuals, with the images then self-deleting in seconds. The additional fun part is a function enabling graffiti style captions or other sketches and scribbles to be overlaid across images.
| | | | Attribution modelling is fatally flawed | | 18 June 2013, 8:30AM |  It's 2013. Companies like Scanadu are building the real-life medical tricorder once imagined in Star Trek; Virgin Galactic is on the verge of sending people into space for their holidays (beats Magaluf); and my company now makes 3.4 billion real-time decisions every day on the web. An inconceivable feat ten years ago.
| | | | Infographic: How to create the perfect post on social media | | 18 June 2013, 6:00AM |  It takes a lot of trial and error to understand what really makes your fans tick and what resonates within the community. That clever photo of something you think is absolutely hilarious could actually lose you a few fans and no matter how interesting a fact is, it's never interesting enough to warrant a three paragraph explanation on one Facebook post...
| | | | | | | Has the time for connected TV advertising finally arrived? | | 17 June 2013, 10:39AM |  Brands today understand the importance of using data to tailor their messages and to reach their key target audiences, so it would be reasonable to assume that TV and its 'shotgun' approach to advertising is becoming less appealing. Indeed, the IAB announced in 2009 that online advertising spending in the UK had overtaken TV advertising for the first time in 2009, many industry executives believed the death knell had sounded for this channel.
| | | | Mobile marketing set to explode in Latin America | | 17 June 2013, 10:20AM |  Telefonica Digital has recently announced it will be the headline sponsor for the Festival of Media LatAm in September. This is a key regional advertising event and, as one of the leading mobile marketing companies in the region, we are excited to support it.
