ThoughtWorks' Quarterly Technology Briefings

Reinventing Media

Radical shifts in consumer habits are forcing media companies to reinvent their business models, with relentless pressure to find new ways to secure customer loyalty.

The victory of Barack Obama featured the powerful use of new media and the Internet in ways never seen before in a US presidential election. New technologies can provide delivery platforms for desirable content across multiple devices, channels and networks. But only the most clever and innovative companies will exploit these technologies to provide truly remarkable experiences to keep their customers happy – and faithful.

And it’s not just media companies! Amidst the current financial turmoil, financial services and other customer-facing industries will need to use the same technologies and customer-centric – rather than traditional product centric – approaches to survive.

Our panel of leading industry experts will explore these and related themes. Attendance is free but seating is limited, so please register your interest today.
