This is the question of the week. While many thought the widespread layoffs and employees quitting would run Twitter into the ground, Musk noted that the platform is actually seeing a surge in users as they flock to send what could potentially be their last tweet. Many users tweeted out personal stories for how Twitter has changed their lives for…[Read more]

Thanks, Regina! This is news to me. I totally agree with the points above that this is a great way to make your customers feel like they are being heard while drumming up a lot of attention online for both brands.
I must say that I am skeptical there isn’t already an agreement in place between Kraft Mac & Cheese and McDonald’s. Maybe I am a…[Read more]

Social media is an area that is being supplemented greatly by AI. There are settings on various platforms like HubSpot, Sprout Social and others that automatically create social posts that are generated from the url that is pasted into the scheduler. This saves our social media managers time in drafting the post because they can skip to the…[Read more]

This is an interesting read Andrea!
If anything that the past couple of years has taught us about the impact of climate change is that preventive measures need to be put in place. With the use of AI technology, we can not only initiate alerts but also help them act on stopping/fixing that incident. Before the pandemic hit my office building had some sort of gas leakage and we had to evacuate from the building. Turned out almost all the buildings on our street were being evacuated for the same reason. Our building is fairly new and it’s all tech-savvy so we did in fact have a system in place where the gas leak was identified and stopped at the right time. Speaking of renewable energy, I think the technological firms need to understand that this is a more current issue now than it ever was. Once they find solutions that work the marketers will have an opportunity to actually “market” the optimized energy.

For many event planners, the first day of attendee check in for their conference is hell on earth. Most attendees arrive at the same time to check in as they create a long line and often ask the same questions as […]

Hey Andrea,
I remember going to a big conference and checking in took hours. I got up to the table and saw they had a stack of papers with everyone’s name on it and they were just highlighting us off as we came, so annoying! I like this AI solution, it’s simplistic but very effective and honestly important to the experience of everyone attending the event. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Andrea, I absolutely love this idea! I worked in Admissions at Montclair State (where I did undergrad) and we actually used a variation of what you outlined above for our Open Houses and Accepted Student Days. We used it on a more basic level of checking in and providing an agenda for the day but I think your points about actually collecting data from it is brilliant. Most of the time people collect feedback from post event surveys but something like this would allow you to track certain things in real time which, to your point, could help those running the event figure out what’s working and what needs a little more focus/attention to draw in a crowd. Great post!!

Andrea, what a great read!
This is such a great idea! My best friend is an event planner, and I am currently planning a conference for my job, so this hit home for me!
In terms of COVID, having this technology to contact everyone quickly and in such an easy way will make it a lot easier to handle. Guests can also feel confident when attending these events that if something happens and a guest gets sick, they will be the first to know rather than finding out way later or even getting sick before they find out.
To answer your second question, the information gathered from one event could determine interest levels of guests, what they did and didn’t like, and overall who attended in terms of companies/industries. All this information could focus on future events so more guests can have an enjoyable experience and ultimately recommend the event/company to other potential guests.
