Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

At the DPAA Global Summit, to be held on October 11 at Pier 60 (Chelsea Piers) during New York Digital Signage Week (October 10-14, 2022) Adidas will be talking about their Success in the Metaverse and the Future of Consumer Engagement and Microsoft will be talking about Marketing Through Complexity.

  • Adidas of course has been an iconic brand for generations. The brand now engages with the highly sought after GenZ in their playground of choice – the Metaverse. The Metaverse is an open economy where inclusion, sustainability and culture credibility are key. Erika Wykes-Sneyd, Adidas’ VP of Global Marketing will discuss how the brand entered the Metaverse, how it achieved success and how it co-creates with its loyal fanbase. Erika will also detail the brand’s early moves into the Metaverse and future outlook.
  • Creativity has always been a key ingredient in marketing, and even the biggest brands like Microsoft have re-examined their processes in the last few years. Kathleen Hall is Chief Brand Officer at Microsoft, one of the world’s largest advertisers, and a member of DPAA’s Brand Board. Kathleen will discuss Microsoft’s overall marketing strategy and how their creativity and brand has evolved. She’ll address the complexity of technology in marketing today and some ways to better manage and simplify this. This discussion will cover how this applies to the many media options today, and how to best engage with consumers, including her views on programmatic, advertising and Digital Out of Home opportunities.

The theme of this year’s summit is Digital Fast Forward and sessions will address the role of retail media, programmatic, and the growing role of Out-of-Home in today’s omnichannel mix, among other topics.
