What’s a “brainsnack”?

A “brainsnack” is a quick-to-the-point presentation on a subject. It is based on the unconference concept of Pecha Kucha, developed in Japan seven years ago and designed to impart a broad range of knowledge in a short period of time. Adapted to INMA, we will ask three best-practice leaders in our one-hour seminars to give seven-minute presentations with no more than 15 PowerPoint slides each, after which they will be cut off. We will spend 20+ minutes on presentations and 20+ minutes on questions before breaking and attacking a new subject.

9:05 a.m.
The Myth of Integration: Why Channel Focus Still Matters
As the newspaper industry reportedly is dying, everyone suddenly talks about the “integrated news room.” But some patients still want to be treated by specialists rather than generalists. In fact, the cure for good journalism is channel focus, and Bruce Springsteen will be used to prove it.
>> Thomas Mattsson, Editor-in-Chief, Expressen, Stockholm, Sweden

Know Your Reader?!?!
Content? Check. Eyeballs? Check. Salespeople? Check. So, what's wrong? It's Google. It's freeloader readers on the web. It's too much inventory. Maybe. But could it be that most publishers haven't a clue who their readers are, what they think, what they do, and what they want? What if we knew readers better than anyone else? What if we used that information to create better content? What if we used that deep insight to help advetisers? Don't be intimidated by words like “CRM,” “databases,” and “social media.” Focus on putting a strategy together that gets you insight and makes clear how you will use it.

The challenge of how to monetize content in a digitally networked and always-on world is growing more severe by the minute, driven by constant advances in technology, smarter devices and faster connectivity, as well as by drastic changes in consumer behavior, worldwide. Can those analog dollars be converted to a much larger number of digital quarters and dimes? Where will those next-generation revenue streams come from, and how can you fast-track them? Can and should copies be controlled, online, and if not, how do you “compete with free”? How can “selling access to copies” be turned into real money, not just page-views and social media buzz? What is the role of advertising, mobile device makers, the ISPs, telecoms and mobile network operators, and how will publishers position themselves in this new “telemedia” ecosystem?

Publishers can create a vehicle for advertisers to reach their audiences; advertisers will be able to match their messages to specific audiences based on this valuable information.
