  2:00 pm - 2:45 pm Playing the Symphony of Screens or Creating Cacophony?
Designer and Researcher Bill Buxton believes we need to put a bullet in the words, "Digital Marketing" and advance our thinking to a new marketing mindset that plays around natural consumer experiences. Rather than beating the traditional drums like print, outdoor, broadcast, or the new-fangled trendy ones like mobile, slates, or the next hot gadget, marketers need to think about the ensemble of consumer experiences. We need to stop generating a cacophony of marketing messages, and start creating a concerto that follows consumer context.
