Digital is constantly evolving and it’s taking entertainment brands along for the ride.
At Side B Live 2019, we’ll be diving deep into the intersection of digital, entertainment and tech to unpack how we as an industry can lean in to the digital evolution, and stay ahead with innovation that drives business success.
From creative to community, the future of content and the future of Facebook, Bolster’s own senior leaders and Facebook will be leading discussions and leaning into ideas that will arm you with the knowledge to stand out in the increasingly crowded and dynamic marketing landscape.

The digital landscape has evolved since our last Side B. Audiences, ad tech, discovery and engagement have transcended into a dynamic ecosystem that we’re going to explore. By taking a look at digital as a whole, and zooming in on music & entertainment, we’ll set up the day by taking a look where we were, where we are now, and where we are headed.

10:40am: Are you content with your content?
A guide to hot creative.
Your creative has 2 seconds to get its message across online. Oliver will spend 1,200 explaining why this is the case and how to combat it. This talk explores the spectrum of content and creative that ranges from short brand touchpoints to longer lean-back moments. He’ll speak to content strategies you can adopt to better capture the attention of your audience and move them along this scale.

1:30pm: Meaningful Measurement
How are we meant to move toward success, if we don’t even know what success looks like? And how are we meant to move forward if we don’t even know who we are moving forward with?
Don’t worry, this isn’t relationship counselling. This is a game-plan on how to set yourself up for success before your campaign even begins by adopting the ‘Meaningful Measurement’ methodology. Because you’re only as successful as how you measure your success.*
