PLENARY - GAME CHANGER: MARKET DYNAMICS AND THE NEW MEDIA LANDSCAPE

Advancing technology is dramatically shifting the way we produce, consume, and experience media content. Accessibility to emerging technologies from social engagement to gamification is transforming market dynamics across the media landscape. Thanks to collaborations between innovative media platforms and legacy content producers, the broader ecosystem is successfully leveraging the new media currency.

As the lines between our virtual and off-line worlds continue to blur, we have an opportunity to create a united vision reflecting our true values. We deconstruct new models that leverage the link between social interaction and commerce while monitoring the evolving relationship between technology, trust, and personal privacy.

INTRODUCING JEFFREY LEIFER, SOCAP11 MEDIA CHANNEL CURATOR

My name is Jeff Leifer, CEO of Circadian Media Lab (CML). I was proud to be among the earliest voices advocating socially responsible finance, and still consider that a driving force in my life. I’ve had the privilege of working at the intersection of media, finance and technology for more than three decades – and I’m still learning how to frame the big questions facing social capital today. Transformative change begins with a shift towards harmonizing our business and life goals. At CML, we are committed to bringing about this meaningful change in culture through authentic engagement. From engineering digital media to sharing transformational stories, CML is stretching towards this horizon.

We’re thrilled to bring together such a high-caliber and diverse group for SOCAP11. For media to become increasingly democratized and to create solutions consistent with our vision, our understanding and approach must continuously evolve. I look forward to working together as a team in service of these important goals.
