KEYNOTE: Rohan Silva - Co-Founder, Second Home (UK)

CROSS-POLLINATION IN CREATIVE SPACES & ENGINEERING A CITY-WIDE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
When Second Home's co-working space first launched, the London Evening Standard asked "Are you cool enough for this?". An expert in building creative cities and supporting entrepreneurs, Rohan's spaces are located in the heart of cultural hotspots including Brick Lane and Lisbon. They encourage a network of cross-pollination, with creatives, artists and social entrepeneurs collaborating with brands and technologists on new innovations. The space was designed by Spanish studio SelgasCano, designer of the 2015 Serpentine Pavillion. Rohan was also previously senior technology adviser to the Prime Minister and is largely credited with growing the Tech City phenomenon that has seen London become the world’s biggest startup hub after Silicon Valley and New York.

HARD TO REACH? MARKETING TO THE NEW CREATIVE CONSUMERS

How can we package the content assets of cultural and creative organisations in new, lateral ways to reach new audiences and those who do not traditionally engage with cultural content? In this session, we explore innovative approaches to tailoring the messaging and medium to create engagement.

12:10-12:50: Targeting Millennials & Gen Z

Starting as an ‘on-the-tools’ digital marketer, Steph is now a Digital Strategist. In a nutshell, she runs research on Australian youth, the VICE Youth Survey, and uses the data to tell stories, predict trends, and deliver one-of-a-kind marketing insights to commercial partners.

12:50-13:00: What if everything you know about brand is wrong?
Let’s begin with a mind-shift where a brand is a result of the promises you keep. Promises kept through the unheroic work of everyone in the organization. Using the identity held in the organisation’s purpose and values. Across what they do and how they do it. And delivered through people’s experience. Your brand is a result.

CULTURAL TOURISM & THE CHANGING NEEDS OF TRAVELLERS

In this session, we explore opportunities to put the cultural and creative industries front and centre stage for visitors and residents alike. Travel is changing. Tourists increasingly tire of overcrowded hotspots and yearn for the authentic local experience and road untravelled, whilst popular destinations struggle to balance the often conflicting demands of locals and travellers. Here we consider some of the latest developments in cultural tourism, identifying examples of best practice as well as the opportunities and challenges facing Western Australia.

BRAND WORKSHOP

Ditch the brand “ing” and get a result people will stick with.
Brand is stuck in a time warp of “ing”. But ‘branding” doesn’t help your organisation sustainably navigate the complex relationship between what you do, how you do it and why you do it. This session will introduce you to new ways to think about what promises are you making and how are you keeping them. So you can use to better bridge internal reality and external expectations. And your organization achieves a brand result people will stick with.
