Trapeze’s Presentation was interesting as well. The presenter stressed on 10 factors in how to be a successful media employee who will make customers care for brands:

1. Cultural Latency: speed, response, resistance draped because you have to respond quickly, not only push strategy.

2. Social media is everywhere

3. Chips are cheaper than ever, therefore, more advanced and powerful technology we can use to get our job done

4. Ubiquity of bandwidth: wireless

5. Clouds: clusters of servers/computers connected to data

6.Context is king: experiences within genre, nothing unrelated to a specific topic

7. Be relevant/useful

8. Everybody is a producer of content

9. NUI: hand interaction, eye tracking

10. We will all have jobs if we are engaged users

All in all, I believe you can not separate marking from art/media/design if you want to be a successful media individual. They both intertwine together now.

Furthermore, media is becoming more of a developing field than before, due to many codes and scripts, creating technical masterpieces.
