Tell us about your role at Contently and the team and technology that you handle.
I’m Contently’s Head of Content Strategy for EMEA and APAC, and in the role I advise B2C and B2B clients on high level content marketing strategy.
What draws you to DMEXCO this year?
It’s my very first edition. I have always wished to attend and for many reasons I never had the chance, even though it’s geographically so easy to reach (I am based in London). This year I can finally attend – and I am so glad to be part of the speaker lineup!
Who are you looking forward to meeting at DMEXCO’18?
Plenty of names I’d love to meet… Just to mention a few: Josh Golden (President, AdAge), Billy Seabrook (Global Chief Creative Office at IBM ix), Tina Beuchler, (Director Digital & Media at Nestle), Luke Barnes (Chief Commercial Officer EMEA, Vice) and Nina Zimmermann.
How do you plan to extend the benefits of attending DMEXCO ’18 to your team, customers and technology partners at Contently?
I will definitely share presentations, notes and videos, if available.
How would you define “Branded Content” from a modern Customer Experience viewpoint. How do you deliver personalized branded content in a multichannel marketing campaign?
With a sapient mix of data analysis and understanding about our audience. Content personalization has to begin with data analysis. This means the modern customer experiences content that brands have aimed toward them, based on a complex profile of their habits, preferred devices and the challenges they face.
What role does Branded Video Content play in influencing customer journeys?
Branded video is, by far, the most valuable and engaging content across social platforms. It’s fantastic for communicating an emotional narrative, increasing engagement time and spreading brand awareness. Ideally, though, video leads the customer into the marketing funnel, where they’re nurtured by longform written content. And, like other content formats, video has to adhere to a larger strategy, one developed using audience data analysis.
How much has branded content evolved with the maturity of data science, automation and increasing proliferation of AI/ML?
Data science has allowed brands to develop a more intimate understanding of their target audience, which has increased the ROI of content. As we do with other content, also with video we should always start from our audience. Video is a great way to engage our audience – assuming we know who our audience is. A deep understanding of the audience and their devices is critical to design video strategy; data science is key to give a meaning to the data owned by enterprises.

The MTS Martech Interview Series is a fun Q&A style chat which we really enjoy doing with martech leaders. With inspiration from Lifehacker’s How I work interviews, the MarTech Series Interviews follows a two part format On Marketing Technology, and This Is How I Work. The format was chosen because when we decided to start an interview series with the biggest and brightest minds in martech – we wanted to get insight into two areas … one – their ideas on marketing tech and two – insights into the philosophy and methods that make these leaders tick.
