Virtual reality is developing rapidly and will fundamentally change reality through convincing VR experiences. Early VR and 360 video campaigns have been creative in promoting brands through interactive videos. Major companies are starting to use VR in advertising to capitalize on growing excitement around the technology, though it remains to be seen if VR will have lasting impact. Connecting competitors through peace offerings like the McWhopper campaign between McDonald's and Burger King shows how out-of-the-box thinking can bring people together.
Virtual reality is becoming a popular way to have immersive experiences in entertainment. VR films can trigger emotions through binaural sound and dynamic lighting. Facebook is debuting VR-style video ads on the Oculus Rift to allow immersive branded experiences. Gesture control technology is changing human-technology interaction and some applications include using gestures to control functions on cars, smartphones and photography software. Brands must innovate constantly to stay relevant in today's competitive landscape and some examples of digital transformation include KFC creating an in-store music experience app and Starbucks releasing a mobile order and pay app.
Major hotel chains will focus less on amenities like TVs and phones in 2015, instead prioritizing free high-speed WiFi. Hotel occupancy is reaching new heights, causing room rates to rise, so hotels will emphasize savings opportunities. Travelers can expect to see more bundled packages that combine flights, rooms, and car rentals to provide affordable options. Emerging technologies like smartphone room keys and wearable devices will continue changing the travel experience.
It’s been an interesting year at Cannes. It’s certainly the biggest year in terms of entries, categories & delegates. 76000 entries were whittled down to 1589 winners across 18 categories.
After looking through the winners this year, it felt like Big Emotion trumped Big Data. I’ve put together a selection of what I found to be the most interesting work from the festival with this overarching theme in mind.
The document provides an overview of trends in marketing, storytelling and digital culture from January 2016.

The rise of ephemeral social media and native branded content is covered as well as topics like internet freedom and purposeful toys that teach coding.
This document summarizes trends in marketing, storytelling, and digital culture from August 2016. It discusses how brands must prepare for artificial intelligence by embracing it in their processes. It also describes innovative technologies like an AI chatbot that helps drivers appeal parking tickets, wearable airbag vests for safer skiing, and sidewalk lights that alert distracted smartphone users. The document advocates taking risks to create new experiences for audiences and highlights examples from JP Morgan and Samsung/Nestle collaborations. It concludes by discussing enhanced security and convenience from biometric authentication on bank cards in South Africa.
The document provides a summary of trends in marketing, storytelling and digital culture from May 2016. It discusses the rise of virtual reality and artificial intelligence. It also mentions trends related to creativity, innovation, media, and connecting with consumers. Specifically, it discusses Facebook's ability to understand text, Elon Musk's open AI research, the vision of Magic Leap's augmented reality technology, global online advertising standards, slow marketing, Snapchat surpassing Twitter, and more flexible gender options on Tinder.
The document makes 13 predictions for trends in 2013, including:
1) Crowdfunding platforms will expand into new niches and regions before consolidating. New platforms may focus on specific interests or demographics.
2) Big brands will enter the crowdfunding space to fund new products and reduce innovation risks.

As China continues to grow rapidly, there is a swell in outbound travel and shopping. In 2018 there will be an estimated 154 million outbound travelers from China - and another 248 million shoppers who buy overseas, online
from China.
This presentation outlines these growing movements and how global brands and destinations can market to Chinese audiences.
Marketing to China must take into account the unique characteristics of Chinese audiences who are highly social (social media rules), predominantly mobile and have incredibly high preference for mobile payments (mobile wallet over cash/credit).
Marketing to China also requires adapting language, messaging and systems to mesh with a different view of the world. Smart global brands who address these issues put themselves in a good position to succeed with the 400 million+ Chinese who are expected to travel overseas by 2030.
