As content professionals, our jobs require more cross-team collaboration than ever, and that means it’s getting tougher to delineate our disciplines. When was the last time you did “just” design, content, or code? It’s no longer an option to only care about what’s on your plate. Drawing from her experience as a “content therapist,” Kristina will share insights about how curiosity, empathy, and shared ambition will help us all build a better web.

The growing abundance of trending stories and un-ignorable zeitgeist moments have turned viral stories into the holy grail of content creation. But what does virality really mean, and how can media companies and brands leverage the principles behind shareability and network cascades to build an audience? This panel brings together experts in the fields of social psychology, network science, and content creation to discuss the underlying commonalities of stories that get shared, the myths about virality we still believe, and the paradox that viral stories aren't always clickable. It's time to look beyond the Buzzfeed listicle and talk about the next wave of viral content.

In the realm of archaeology and linguistics, few artifacts hold the mystique and historical significance of the Rosetta stone. This unassuming slab of black basalt, discovered in 1799 by French soldiers during Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt, has since become synonymous with deciphering ancient mysteries. The Rosetta Stone, named after the town near where it was found, stands as a remarkable testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of understanding.

Affiliate Marketing is a dynamic and lucrative method of earning income online, where individuals or businesses promote products or services and receive a commission for each sale, lead, or action generated through their referral. At its core, affiliate marketing operates on the principle of revenue sharing, where merchants reward affiliates for driving traffic or sales to their business. Understanding the Basics Affiliate Marketing is rooted in the concept of performance-based marketing. Instead of paying for traditional advertising methods upfront, merchants pay affiliates only when a specific action is completed, such as a sale, lead, or click. This performance-based model aligns the interests of both parties, as affiliates are incentivized to generate results for the merchants they promote. How Affiliate Marketing Works: The process of affiliate marketing typically involves three primary parties: the merchant, the affiliate, and the customer. The merchant, also known as the advertiser or retailer, is the entity that sells the product or service. The affiliate, often referred to as the publisher, promotes the merchant's products or services through various marketing channels. The customer, of course, is the individual who makes a purchase or takes the desired action. When a customer clicks on an affiliate link and completes the desired action, such as making a purchase, the affiliate earns a commission. This commission can vary depending on the merchant's affiliate program and the terms of the agreement between the merchant and the affiliate. The Role of Affiliates, Merchants, and Customers Affiliates play a crucial role in the success of affiliate marketing by leveraging their platforms, audience, and marketing skills to drive traffic and sales for merchants.
