The conference focuses on the latest breakthroughs in content strategy, building social engagement, unifying your digital strategy and, of course, the growing influence of mobile marketing.
During the conference, CBS Interactive and the New York Times both spoke about their new digital marketing strategies, highlighting the importance of a strong mobile marketing strategy. "Mobile first" has to become a priority in order get your customer\u2019s attention.\u00a0 Using live news feeds and real-time notifications creates a sense of urgency and generates conversation.
The mobile focus doesn\u2019t only lend itself to the news industry. A focus on mobile strategy in any industry will help you connect with a larger audience than you would if your digital strategy focuses only on desktop users. It\u2019s also import to consider digital video in your digital strategy.
