The Mobile Singularity: New Rules For Marketing To Smart Networks?

November 21, 2013 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Futurists talk of a “singularity” when everything is connected into a single, conscious network that is smarter than its parts. Smartphones and other mobile devices are already making this a reality for consumers, which means new questions for marketers: Will branded content play the same role, are there limits to how much consumers want us to know about them, and do we need to redefine the very substance of our conversations? Baskin will provide answers, based in part on research conducted exclusively for this AZIMA presentation.

When he’s not working with clients, Jonathan writes a bi-weekly column on leadership for the CMO Strategy section of Advertising Age, twice-weekly contributions to Forbes, and daily tidbits of social history on the site for his third book, Histories of Social Media (a second edition was published in April, 2013). He is a speaker at corporate and association events around the world, at which he talks about the importance of understanding “brand as behavior” (a term he has trademarked) and applying the lessons of the past to the future.

He began his career at Grey Advertising, where he worked on integrated marketing campaigns for consumer products such as Duncan Hines’ cookies and Joy Dishwashing Liquid.
