Just wrapped up an exciting two-day event with over 50 partners from our agency network! We had the privilege of hosting a special guest from Google, Roman Balteanu (GMP Platforms Partner Manager, CEE), who brought valuable insights and support to this happening.
With an extensive agenda, we explored the tools and strategies that are defining the future of digital marketing:

📈 Google Marketing Platform – Showcasing how this suite of tools empowers businesses to scale up, manage, optimize, and measure campaigns for greater efficiency and impact.

📺 TV Transformation & CTV – Exploring the unified approach to traditional TV and Digital Video/CTV, from planning to reporting. With consumer behavior shifting—especially among younger audiences—it’s more important than ever to create a balanced media mix. We also highlighted the advanced targeting and measurement capabilities of CTV ads through DV360, enabling smarter, data-driven campaigns.

👨‍💻 Display & Video 360 – Revealing the potential of programmatic advertising with the most sophisticated tool, enabling brands to seamlessly buy display, video, audio, CTV, and DOOH inventory—all powered by Google’s AI.

💡 AI & Google Cloud – Discussing how integrating AI and Google Cloud with the Google Marketing Platform and DV360 can elevate digital marketing strategies to new heights. We now have sophisticated tools that can seamlessly edit video content, automate e-commerce product feeds, or build predictive machine learning models for customer lifetime value.

Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the success of this event! Here’s to continuous learning and driving impact together!

We had an incredible experience at Google Cloud Day, gaining valuable insights into how this powerful platform is transforming businesses as we speak. While Google Cloud is known for its sophisticated capabilities, it’s becoming more appealing for everyday usage, driving innovation across various industries.

As a company operating in the marketing sector, we have begun adopting Google Cloud to automate processes such as unified reporting, invoicing, and data analysis, saving hundreds of hours per month.

It’s now easier than ever to combine marketing and business data to understand the impact of paid digital media on key business metrics, all by using Google Cloud as a centralized hub for data integration.

Beyond its role as a storage solution, Google Cloud and its AI functions enable us to implement projects with a significant impact on marketing and business efficiency.

✔️ Video and image creation: Automated generation of assets for digital media campaigns.
✔️ Video editing: AI-powered tools for streamlining video editing processes.
✔️ Boosting performance marketing campaigns: Predictive analytics and enhanced bidding strategies for optimized ad spend.
✔️ Personalized customer experiences: AI-driven recommendations and tailored messaging.
✔️ Data-driven insights: Advanced analytics for better decision-making and reporting.

Today at BRAND MINDS Martin Lindstrom highlighted the power of emotional connections in creating memorable brand experiences. He also emphasized the role of AI in personalizing marketing and optimizing business operations for greater efficiency.

Two ideas we reasoned with:

💡 H2H concept
Businesses should move beyond viewing people merely as buyers or corporate entities, and instead focus on building deep emotional connection: shift from traditional B2B and B2C models to a more human-centric (Human-to-Human) approach.
This H2H philosophy implies that companies need to be empathetic and personalize their interactions, offering solutions that truly address individual needs rather than generic, one-size-fits-all approaches.

💡 Predictive AI
Integrating predictive AI into customer service and marketing could transform reactive interactions into proactive, personalized solutions. When combined with neuromarketing insights, AI can be used to predict consumer behavior with unprecedented accuracy. By analyzing subtle patterns in consumer interactions—such as their online activity, purchasing history, and even subconscious reactions—AI can anticipate needs before consumers are fully aware of them themselves.

As we are close to conclude the first day of BRAND MINDS 2024, we take away valuable insights on corporate culture, innovation, and personal growth from today’s speakers:

📍Adam Grant:

💡The value of a challenge network

Welcoming into the team people who offer constructive criticism rather than just support helps the team and company grow, improve the outcomes, and avoid blind spots. By actively seeking input from a challenge network, one fosters personal and professional development through diverse perspectives, encouraging better decision-making and innovative thinking.

💡Make the unfamiliar familiar

By connecting new ideas to familiar contexts, people can better understand, reducing resistance to change and encouraging openness, learning, and adaptability.


📍Erin Meyer:
💡Most misunderstandings in team collaboration happen due to speaking between the lines.

Prioritize autonomy while balancing it with accountability, cultivating trust, transparency, and innovation. Encouraging flexibility and open communication fosters a resilient, high-performing corporate culture.

📍Kjell Nordström:
💡The power of silent knowledge

As in the presence of AI we may expect diminishing of the commercial value of knowledge, human evolution shifts toward mastering skills and continuously developing empathy as key traits for the future.
