Your host for the day will give you a glimpse into the agenda for Future Ready Digital: North.
As AI reshapes search and consumer behaviour, the rules of paid media are changing. In this session, Corkboard Concepts will reveal how high-growth brands are using Google, Meta, TikTok and programmatic advertising to improve ROAS, reach customers more effectively and drive predictable revenue through smarter use of AI, creative and first-party data.
The shift in search behaviour is huge with AI platforms attracting 7 billion monthly web visits, up 76% YoY. We will help you understand the changing landscape, what an AI-ready content strategy looks like and some practical examples to ensure your content is optimised for AI search. Finally, we will discuss how 3rd party trust is becoming more valuable and some easy ways you can use Trustpilot to help improve your AI visibility.
We will now take a short interval before the next session begins.
For marketers and eCommerce leaders that want to move beyond "Hello {{firstname}}", master real-time personalisation, and create customer experiences that convert, delight, and keep shoppers coming back for more.
The seven structural signals predicting which brands appear in AI-generated answers across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity — and what to ship in the next 90 days to land on the cited side.
Shopping is reaching a pivotal turning point as AI shifts from creating content to taking real-world action on behalf of consumers and merchants. With over $3 trillion in revenue expected to flow through agentic commerce by 2030, retailers face a choice: build personalised end-to-end branded experiences or position themselves to capture transactions across open, agentic ecosystems. Join Reece Medway (Google Cloud) to discover how agentic capabilities are reshaping retail operations, marketing, and the end-to-end customer experience.
We’ll be sure to summarise the day and provide some key takeaways so that the learning does not stop here.
The day doesn't end with the final session. Continue the conversation after the event with drinks, networking and the opportunity to connect with speakers, partners and fellow attendees in a more relaxed setting.
