Creative Automation: Briefing

With Tom Nixon, Head of Content Studios UK&I, Nestlé

With in-house teams under ever-increasing pressure to create higher volumes of assets, this session will share best practice, challenges and strategies for successful creative automation.

We will begin with a Q&A with Tom Nixon, Head of Content Studios UK&I at Nestlé, exploring how the Nestlé studio has evolved to become a strategic partner for the business

Then, with our partners for the session, Cape.io, we’ll be discussing:

· How to prepare for creative automation: what you need and why, DAMS, data and more

· Implementation programmes: what works and how to avoid common pitfalls

· Control and Compliance: how to build self-serve models for internal stakeholders and global markets

This will be followed by guided round tables, giving you the chance to hear from your in-house leader peers on:

· How to balance automation and creativity, performance marketing and brand-building campaigns

· Self-serve systems: successes and challenges. Do they really free up capacity for higher value work? What human intervention is still required and when?

· What to measure and why? How can automation improve effectiveness?

· Team structures and workflows: what changes with the adoption of automation platforms?

Please note: this event is for senior leaders of in-house agencies only. IHALC reserves the right not to accept registrations from those who do not meet this stipulation
