THE MAGNETIC SESSIONS:
11:10 – 11:50
THE TRUST STAGE: BIASES AND BLIND SPOTS
Never has there been a time when bias in business, advertising and media planning is more widely acknowledged. With countless studies highlighting the discrepency between evidence and perception of various media channels contribution, we take a look at why these biases continue to exist, through the lens of behavioural economics. Richard Shotton – author of best-selling book The Choice Factory, presents some insights and practical steps we can all take to avoid the blind spot trap. He will be joined by Mike Florence, Chief Strategy Officer for PHD Media; Morag Blazey, CEO of Ebiquity and industry commentator Dominic Mills to discuss how we collectively take up the mantle for more objective decision making.

Dominic Mills, Media Commentator
Speakers:

13:45-14:25
THE INNOVATE STAGE: HOW PASSION PAYS
Since 2012 consumer spend on past times and enthusiasms has grown by over 30 per cent. A remarkable increase given all other forms of discretionary spend over the same period have remained flat. The advent of a new measurement currency PAMCo, released in April for published media, allows us to see better than ever the reach and engagement of sector specific magazines across all media platforms. Consumer demand for content that supports passions is growing, but what does this mean for advertiser and brands? Douglas McCabe, CEO of Enders Analysis; Nicky Holt, Group Commercial Director, Bauer Media and Amanda Wigginton, Insight Director at Time Inc. present and discuss some new consumer and audience data and pose the question – do advertisers fully understand the potential benefit of targeting that which defines us?

14:30-15:00
THE PASSION STAGE: PUTTING TRUST IN CONTEXT
Trust in brands has come under attack of late, but trust and context are heavily entwined. Understand these principles and you can unlock opportunities for rebuilding credibility for advertisers. In this session, we take a look at the role that magazine brands can play in this process, through the lens of the fashion, food and film sectors.
