DIGITAL MARKETING REVOLUTION
Quote Mark Weiser: “In the future, there will be computers everywhere and we will not notice their
presence. They will just be there, seamlessly integrated into the world at large”
Mark weiser:
− He was one of the people who was important for the world of computer science. Head of the
Computer Science Laboratory at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center) (1952 –1999). Computers
are all around us, they are becoming part of our everyday life
− Concept of “calm computing” and “ubiquitous computing”
Example: Ubiquitous computing
Matress sensor: a sensor you can put on your child, under the matress of the baby. It monitors the heart,
the seep. You can link it with your smartphone
DIGITAL DISRUPTION
= major marketplace changes or sector transformation following the application of technology, a big
shift happens.
Examples:
− 1995: Amazon disrupted the traditional book-selling market
− 1997: Netflix disrupted the traditional video-hire market
− 2008: Airbnb disrupted the accommodation sector
− 2009: Uber disrupted taxi services
RESHAPING FINANCING MODELS/AD SYSTEM CONTENT PLATFORMS
Netflix tries to stem the loss of more than 1 million subscribers in 2022 by offering a cheaper, ad-
supported Netflix. You see ads but you will pay less in price than the people who don’t see ads.
Another example is the collaboration between Spotify and Adidas. The goal was to target night-time
listeners worldwide by looking at behavioral data where they discovered different persona in spotify
users at night based on their streaming habits.

− They are trying to use their AI knowledge to
forecast and predict certain models. They are
trying to use their AI to identify gaps in
sustainability problems
AI IN DIGITAL ADVERTISING

− Predictions of $1.3 growth trillion in the next ten years
− Examples
o Speech recognition
