Chief amongst these were HomeKit, a framework to enable the control of multiple smart home apps via one central iOS app, and HealthKit, a developer tool that allows all health and fitness apps to share their data with the new health app, as well as each other. As the iPod and iPhone did before, these technologies are set to revolutionise the way people go about their day-to-day lives and anticipate the next phase in technology, the Internet of Things. The future of experience Jim Hudson 30 June 2014, 9:50AM This month, Google published a survey that claims word of mouth is the top influencer on buying decisions. This is good news for experience advertising. To put it simply – if you have a positive experience with a brand, this holy grail of behaviour can be influenced. Authenticity in branding - just a fad or here to stay? Sarah Cameron 30 June 2014, 9:27AM When we say ‘authentic’ we tend to think of a brand’s provenance; it’s history and heritage. But these days authenticity is as much about realness, honesty and consistency as anything else. It’s been around for forever, from Coca-Cola’s The Real Thing in the ’70s to the Hovis boy pushing his bicycle up that hill. However, since the fallout from MP and banking scandals, our trust in governments and institutions has been knocked and the desire for authenticity has become ever relevant – a hot topic in the chat room as well as the boardroom.

HuffPost's Maymann sets sights on world domination The Huffington Post's chief executive believes its alternative business model will keep the brand ahead of traditional publishers. By Arif Durrani. The judge's verdict on this year's Media Lions As Mark Creighton discovered while sitting on the Cannes Media jury, simplicity is so often at the heart of the best work. How the excitement of a child won hearts and minds for media on the Croisette Once again, this year's pulsating Cannes Lions festival defied any single definition. Many worlds collided along the Croisette, as tech meshed with celebrity, salesmen with creative and producers with data-crunchers. Cannes looks to science for cutting-edge thinking From astrophysics to GNR to 'human augmentation', science is playing an increasing role in creativity. By David Benady. Ikea's lawyers show that overly protecting a brand can be bad for business One of the things I liked about being a planner was seeing inside businesses - and that almost universal realisation that what everyone thought they were good at wasn't the real key to their success. What Nike is really good at is procurement. What Honda is really good at is culture. What Lego is really good at is manufacturing. That kind of thing. Is Instagram a good place for advertising? The image-sharing platform needs to attract ad revenue while not putting off its large user base, David Benady writes.
