May 25, 2019 - Under the motto "Blaze the Trail," the seventh Spark.me, one of the largest marketing conferences in Southeast Europe, began today at the Porto Montenegro Auditorium in Tivat. The organizer of Spark.me is the company doMEn, the registration agency of the Montenegrin national internet domain.me, and the general sponsor is the company M-tel.
The Spark.me Conference is being organized since 2013, providing participation of prominent world experts in one of the most critical industries of today. Peter Shankman opened the seventh Spark.me gathering, and his inspirational stories from life and business had proper lessons and intrigued the auditorium, raising numerous questions.
The theme of his presentation was "Customer Economy" - which he said was incredibly simple. What is most famous for service providers is to listen to customers, and the first rule is transparency. "To have the audience is a privilege, not a right," said Shankman, which should especially be taken into account by media outlets. Demonstrating that his preoccupation is profoundly universal, encouraged by the fact that two friends committed suicide in the past year, he ended his exposure by turning his attention to the fact that we all need to keep mental health and that we need someone to listen to us. He offered his help - "contact someone, if you do not know who, contact me."
Shankman is a professor at the University of New York, the author of five business bestsellers, an expert in customer experience, and a serial entrepreneur. "The New York Times" described him as a "rock star who knows absolutely everything about social media." Shankman is also the single father of a six-year-old girl.
Jason Miller, Director of Brand Marketing for the EMEA region at Microsoft, a rocker photographer, and professor of digital marketing at Berkeley gave a lecture on creativity and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to developing the company's brand, Miller develops programs based on the latest technological advances, such as artificial intelligence.
The conference allows participants to learn about current trends in the field of marketing, technology, and business from world-famous experts, and to get in touch with over 580 conference participants from 28 countries in the world.
Followed the exposure of Cate Murden, founder of the PUSH consulting firm, basing his practice on human behavior research, and the lecture by Julius Dein, one of the most famous magicians of the world, who managed to build an online audience of over 20 million followers in just three years.
