Mumbrella360 video: Dark Social – Challenging The Way Brands Think About Sharing

In the wrap-up of Mumbrella360 on June 7-9, 2016, we revisit highlights from the annual event.

Kerry McCabe, Dr Peter Steidl, Nicole McInnes, and Timothy Whitfield discuss how brands can capitalise on consumers’ private social media data, also known as dark social.

Exclusive research suggests the majority of consumer content sharing is happening behind the scenes via ‘dark social’ channels, such as email, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

The panel: Kerry McCabe, managing director, Radium One; Dr Peter Steidl, neuromarketer; Nicole McInnes, former director of marketing at Pandora; and Timothy Whitfield, director of digital technical operations at GroupM.

The seminar includes how brands and companies can build a fully integrated campaign, making the most of dark social channels, how to make sure the money you’re spending gets the results you want, and how brands can utilise neuroscience to boost shareability.
