Creativity, collaboration & communications: the journey of Creative Futures

By combining the best of the physical and digital worlds, programmatic print has a unique role to play in driving the customer-centric communications of tomorrow. The clever combination of data, creativity, targeting capabilities and personalization can be seamlessly integrated into existing omnichannel marketing plans to deliver measurable impact.

But how does programmatic print really work? What are the mechanics involved? And how do you connect data, creative, technology and measurement to build seamless omnichannel marketing experiences that elevate the customer experience?

And what happens when you bring together the brains behind each stage of this process to push the boundaries of what’s possible with personalized print through true collaboration?

Join The Drum’s co-founder and editor-in-chief Gordon Young and assistant editor Jenni Baker, alongside Cathy Bittner, strategic business development manager, Canon Europe, as they re-tell the story of Creative Futures – an industry-wide initiative bringing together a specialist working group of experts, who all have an integral role to play in the process, with the emerging creative talent of tomorrow.
