Digital Day
For Better Web
“For Better Web” tells the story of a new and improved internet, where users have control over their data, privacy is respected, and where digital experiences are designed to enhance our lives rather than exploit them. The story begins with the recognition that the internet, as it currently exists, is flawed. Social media platforms and tech giants have amassed huge amounts of user data, often without informed consent, and use it to shape our online experiences, often to the detriment of our mental health and well-being.

Keynote: Using data to put the audience at the heart of editorial decision making
I was struck by one line in the briefing for this session – digital experiences are designed to enhance our lives.
I have spent my entire career as a digital journalist focused on one thing – tailoring content to answering audience’s needs. In news if we are not serving our audience’s needs what are we doing?
Using data to tailor content to answer the questions our audiences have is for me the goal of digital journalism and also ensures our content performs well.
This is what we have been trying to introduce at Euronews in our digital first strategy.

Keynote: The Digital Tomorrow of Today’s Banking
The world and the times we live in confirm to us again and again that digitization – in any segment of reality, and therefore also in the world of finance and banking – clearly represents a long road that none of us even knows does it has the end and how this end could look like.
Because of this, the digitization of the time in which we live is a constant challenge and incentive for all of us, with our constant desire to be smarter, faster and better than others.
Although it is a fact that today banking is one of the most legally regulated sectors – in the world, as well as in Serbia – and that everyone pays the most attention to how the data managed by banks is stored and for what purpose it is used, the digitization of banking services is a process that is gradually taking place in front of our eyes.
What are the trends that are expected and that will further shape and reshape digital banking in Serbia – is one of the topics that we will talk about in the presentation “The Digital Tomorrow of Today’s Banking”, which will be held at this year’s Digital Day by the President of the Executive Board of Addiko Bank Vojislav Lazarević.

Keynote: Own your audience and take back control
In the world of digital advertising, first-party data is emerging as the dominant force, akin to a captivating soloist leading a symphony. This revolution empowers advertisers to unleash their creativity, forging connections across boundaries and creating unforgettable campaigns. By taking ownership of their data, advertisers become the maestros, creating campaigns that reverberate far beyond the walled gardens. Just as music transcends boundaries, programmatic advertising transcends limitations, empowering advertisers to create harmonies that resonate throughout the advertising landscape.
Matjaž Fajfar, Expansion Manager Adriatics and DACH at iPROM guides us on a journey through the similarities between the digitalization of music, streaming platforms, and the future of digital advertising. He explores the growing importance of privately-owned independent DMPs and the critical role first-party data plays in effectively targeting proprietary media audiences. This opportunity offers an exciting chance to revolutionize advertising strategies. Don’t miss out on this transformative experience!

Keynote: Sutrašnji svet
As we came home, my wife asked me about what was better. Because now with “these apps” that take photos and listen to you, she’s not sure anymore. “Should we keep everything on our personal server, or should we keep the data in the cloud?” I looked at her and I told her I didn’t really understand the question. “From all points of view – she continued, but I want both to utilize stuff like Office 365 or Instagram and have privacy”. I knew then that, as much as I wanted to keep my promise to not bring work home, I had to.

Keynote: Turning Collected Data into a Creative Drama
Data is only as powerful as the outcome it helps deliver, the benefit it helps empower and the story it helps inspire. Utilizing technology and digital platforms to attain data and to learn more about your TA is inclusive in marketing communications today. But… it’s just a first step in the path to effective innovative marketing communications.
The key questions which follow are:
– What data can be used in a way which will not irritate, and your TA will appreciate?
– What data can help deliver concrete value in innovative, unexpected ways people will find interesting?
– How can you transform the data into relevant, creative, impactful ideas and engaging storytelling, relevant to both brand and TA?
– How can you do all that on multiple platforms?
In a nutshell… how to detect meaningful data with substantial brand + consumer value? And how to utilize this data as the heart and center of a meaningful impactful marketing communications idea?
This session at IAB Digital Day will provide answers to such questions by decoding recurring thinking patterns embedded in award winning ideas which reached this illusive promised land: translated collected data into a creative ‘drama’, on a variety of platforms, addressing a variety of tasks and challenges, in a way which got people to pay attention and to appreciate the intention.
It will then show how to translate these thinking patterns into structured creative thinking tools, which can help guide thinkers to ideas with a possible similar outcome.
