Undertone will be participating in panel discussions about 2018’s digital media trends, tactics and strategies.

2018 witnessed many disruptions in the digital marketing ecosystem including the consolidation of major media giants AT&T and AppNexus. This esteemed panel will delve into what strategies worked, which fell flat, as well as looking ahead to the trends, direction and anticipated innovations to emerge in 2019.

“As the year comes to a close, industry leaders are reviewing what had the highest impact on digital success, and what is expected to continue in the future. There is no doubt that creativity was and will be a driving force for brands,” said Danielle Rollo, CRO at Undertone. “Undertone sits at the nexus of creativity and measurement, which is why our Synchronized Digital Branding platform is more compelling than ever. I am looking forward to what will be a fantastic panel conversation.”

Undertone is at the forefront of the technology which drives where and how ads are displayed, thus creating powerfully consistent messaging for today’s most digitally savvy brands including BMW, Airheads and LG. In addition to the company’s CRO participating in the panel, Undertone’s Director of Sales and Chairman of the Board at BIMA, Rob DeSalvo, will also play a key role in leading this event.

“This event and panel discussion are great ways for marketing professionals to generate new digital media thinking, especially those amazing professionals that call the Boston metro area home,” said Rob DeSalvo. “We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic companies being represented at this year’s event. It’s been an amazing year for the industry and we are thrilled by the growth of Boston’s digital marketing community. We expect there to be takeaways that will directly impact marketing strategies in 2019.”

“With regards to digital, 2018 set a very high standard with the number of truly impressive campaigns, as well as marketing strategies that enhance marketers’ abilities to increase engagement with today’s consumers,” said Chuck Gannon, Corporate Advertising Manager at L.L. Bean. “The great thing about this panel is that we all bring something unique to the table. We come from different sectors, each with its own challenges and solutions to marketing pain points. We have a great deal to learn from each other about the past year that we can take boldly forward into 2019.”
