Smart Tools for Smart Content Creation
Birgit Gray, Innovation Manager, Deutsche Welle

Smart tools, based on big data technologies, are required to help content creators better navigate through the increasingly complex information universe as they monitor, filter and process information from multiple sources, all in real time. Our next speaker will draw on her experience in this sector, and some development work that the company has been involved in, to  share some insights into smart tools for journalists and media companies and highlight case study examples where these tools can assist in the creative process and enable more flexible delivery decisions.

How to Datify Media Content to  Win Friends and Influence People: Your Next Metadata Strategy
Madi Solomon, Senior Manager, Optimity Advisors

The advice from Dale Carnegie from his 1936 seminal book How to Win Friends and Influence People has never been more relevant than it is today as evidence-based decision making has shifted the spotlight to the customer.

Harnessing customer data will require new metadata extensions that go beyond production efficiencies to include behaviours around the content or products.  In this session, temporal metadata, storyline metadata, social activity, and ratings data will be explored to demonstrate how the closing of the “virtual metadata circle” will influence future industry decision making.
