1 Back in 1996 , Bill Gates wrote an essay
titled Content is King
“Content is where I expect much of the real money
will be made on the Internet, just as it was in
broadcasting”.
“I expect societies will see intense competition-and
ample failure as well as success-in all categories of
popular content-not just software and news, but also
games, entertainment, sports programming,
directories, classified advertising, and on-line
communities devoted to major interests.”.

Hyperlocal search
was a hot-button
term a few years
ago, but there’s a
new phrase in town
that takes its
predecessor to a
whole new social
level: SoLoMo.
47. 47Digital Feed / www.davidposada.com - @dposada
SoLoMo, short for social-local-mobile, refers to a more mobile-centric version
of the addition of local entries to search engine results. SoLoMo emerged as
a result of the growing popularity of smartphones, and provides greater local
precision to search engine results than what's available via a PC.

IoT becomes immensely important
because it is the first real evolution of
the Internet—a leap that will lead to
revolutionary applications that have the
potential to dramatically improve the
way people live, learn, work, and
entertain themselves. Already, IoT has
made the Internet sensory
(temperature, pressure, vibration, light,
moisture, stress),allowing us to become
more proactive and less reactive.

The experts talks
Calle Sjoenell, Chief Creative Office O&M, predicts that by 2020 at least half of
the production budget will be spent while the campaign is running to adapt it in
real time instead of blowing it all in one go, before the campaign runs
“The speed that real-time marketing demands is going to influence the way that
creative agencies, marketers and brands look to react to the marketplace.”
—John Robinson, senior vice president of creative at Digitas
“The process of arriving at the best social content looks more like 'Newsroom' than
'The Pitch'. Creative and social staffers merge the zeitgeist with the brand ethos all
day, every day.”
— Ian Schafer of digital agency Deep Focus

David Posada
Managing Director at GroupM Interaction Latin America
I started my digital career as an entrepeneur founding one of the first online libraries
in Colombia. Then I moved to Tribal DDB where I was Managing Director of which was
considered on of the most important Interactive Agencies in Colombia with more than
60 people in the payroll and three different offices in Bogotá, Medellín and Miami. I
continued to expand my digital expertise joining Havas Digital Colombia where I was
responsible for the growth and leadership of the local digital operation, as well as the
development of the entire digital strategy of the group that has three main brands in
Colombia: Lattitud, Media Contacts (media) and iGlue (creative).
After a nine months break where I took a trip around the world, I joined El Tiempo
Casa Editorial, one of the main media companies in Colombia, to lead the digital sales
area. Just a few months later, I accepted an offer from GroupM (the biggest media
agency network in the Globe) to lead the Interaction area for the entire LatAm region
that oversees four interactive media operations: Mindshare, MEC, Mediacom and
Maxus.
