"[The competition] is killing us": In the latest installment of our Confessions series, a magazine editor talks about the "institutional arrogance" holding the publication back as it tries to make the digital transition. After Facebook stopped paying them to produce live videos earlier this year, some of the world's biggest football clubs are contemplating greater investments in Instagram, YouTube and in-house channels. Conde Nast's approach to marketing for its relaunched digital store involves targeting subscribers on Instagram, driving purchases directly from its brands' owned and operated sites and using its research team to find new audience segments to target with offers. In China, mobile payment services WeChat Pay and Alipay are ubiquitous, contributing to the decline of cash. Subscribe to Digiday+ to learn about their global expansion. "There is definitely more smoke than fire in the marketplace right now." Although artificial intelligence is growing in popularity, its usage in advertising remains limited to niche areas. From Best Product Launch to Best Use of Mobile, there's a category for every innovation in this year's Digiday Awards. Find out more and submit before next Thursday's extended deadline. |
