In this keynote session, Austin Bryan, Vice President of Digital Communities and Ecosystems at SingTel & Optus, will provide an insight into how Australians are approaching digital mobile content – what’s of interest to them now, and what are they expecting in the future? The local environment and trends in digital shopping, hyper-local services and video on mobile devices will be dissected and illustrated to provide a greater understanding of the generous opportunities available to reach customers. Austin will delve deep into the digital world and showcase how companies can provide their customers with less friction and more value through digital advertising.
