    blockchain adtech will be more like tinder. “After all, with blockchain, the intermediary is a robot, not a human, so people can trust it with their data.” https://digiday.com/marketing/blockchain-in-progr ammatic/ Display Marketing "bots inflicted $7.2 billion in fraud last year." https://www.neverstopmarketing.com/wp-content/ uploads/2017/07/CMO-Primer-For-The-Blockchain -World-NSM.pdf

  17. Dcent.tech @divydovy The new brand: 1. Clear mission: human values

    2. Cohesive plan to achieve vision 3. Harness the power of a community of believers who are stakeholders in multiple ways: emotional, psychological, and financial Brand Marketing Core new brand capabilities: • Be willing and able to provide transparency via blockchain proofs • Inspire and recruit believers in the core vision and mission • Propel circular economies of authentic value that support the vision and mission
  18. “the fundamentals of the token model...allow communities to govern themselves,

    their economics, and rally a community...to flourish in a way that was previously impossible.” Fred Ehrsam (co-founder of Coinbase), Value of the Token Model “an infinity of subcultures...now blossoms on the Internet — vegans, body modifiers, CrossFitters, Wiccans, DIYers...Millions of people are finding their true peers in the cloud.” Balaji Srinivasan (founder of 21.co) Software is Reorganizing the World Combine these insights and we can imagine a world in which the granularity and transparency of blockchain data gives economic power to very specific communities. https://www.neverstopmarketing.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/CMO-Primer-For-The-Blockchain-World-NSM.pdf Purpose Marketing Dcent.tech @divydovy
  19. Dcent.tech @divydovy • Tech giants will adopt/release/buy e.g. Facebook tokens

    (Rakuten already has) • Media-buying agencies will innovate or struggle • Everything that can be Tokenized will be Tokenized • Shift towards purpose, authentic value creation, community curation and experience • Instantaneous migration between service providers • Browsers will help manage your online budget • The role of oracles (to provide data for smart contracts) will lead to the growth of importance of trusted authoritative data sources • Blockchain-based Ad- and Mar-Tech will see huge growth (400% in last 6m alone) Trends - my take
  20. Dcent.tech @divydovy • Download Brave browser and check out the

    settings • Try implementing BAT on your website and letting people know you’re using it • Sign up to Steemit (and/or other blockchain-based social media) and get involved • Put some time into reading and learning about blockchain, CCs and DLTs • Consider whether your brand is ready for this new reality • Seek out economic opportunities and potential that add to the brand proposition • Build stronger bonds with your customer experience team (or create one) • Stop washing spreadsheets and prepare to play a different role when reporting data • Measure how your audience feels inspired by your purpose What should you do now if you're a digital marketing professional?
