With digital adoption across platforms continuing to increase, we will discuss how are brands ensuring their strategy is aligned with consumer consumption and how different platforms like Advanced TV, Pandora, and Digital OOH fit into this mix. In this session, find out how the lines are indeed blurring between traditional and digital media and how brands are leveraging the best of traditional and digital media to maximize success.
