Affiliate Summit looks to the ‘Futura’ with new, contemporary identity

Affiliate Summit has undergone a sympathetic update of its corporate identity which, according to VP Hannah Wharrier, will help it to build on its sector leading credentials and engage with an even bigger audience of professional stakeholder groups active in every corner of the world. The new identity, which will be launched at Affiliate Summit APAC is the first time the brand has benefitted from such a strategic design review since it was launched by Shawn Collins and Missy Ward, some 15 years ago.

“There’s no doubt that Affiliate Summit is the performance marketing industry’s number one event brand” stated Hannah Wharrier. “However it’s also true, that no brand can afford to stand still, particularly in such a fast moving, technology-driven sector. As custodians of the brand our overarching objective is to build on the fantastic foundations and to grow its influence in new geographical sectors. Having consulted with the market courtesy of a programme of attitudinal research as well as formal and informal focus groups, we believe the new identity will help us to engage with new audiences and cement Affiliate Summit’s position in the market for the next 15-years and beyond.”

Lisa Hammond, Group Marketing Director from Awin, who participated in the Brand Renewal Focus Group, said: “Clearly the original look and feel of the Affiliate Summit identity has served the industry well. But as modern marketers it’s important that we keep an open mind which means accepting that there are no sacred cows. Brand Identity is visual language and I believe this more contemporary design sits comfortably with the culture of the industry and the use of colour will enable the brand to present a joined-up and coherent international portfolio of Affiliate Summit events wherever they are located in the world.”

The new logo features a contemporary extended Futura Book typeface with stylised A’s to reflect a summit or peak. The visual strap line is a reference to the latitude and longitude coordinates of Baruch College in New York, the venue which hosted the first edition of Affiliate Summit in 2003

Rumors About the Future of Google Glass

October 15, 2013 by Casey Kurlander Leave a Comment

I’m not sure of the likelihood of the ideas I discuss in this post actually happening, hence the word RUMORS in the title. These ideas are based on facts and technology that’s already been patented, but in the end we never really know what Google is going to do. Since releasing the Glass earlier this year to a select group of Explorers, Google has been working to improve it and make it part of everyday life for the masses in the future.

Let’s start with the latest news regarding the Glass. As of right now, Google Glass has no way of cataloging physical objects, aside from a user telling it to take a picture of something that catches their interest. Today Google was granted its latest patent, described as “hand gestures to signify what is important.” This technique uses a wearable computing device’s camera to recognize certain hand gestures made in front of objects. If Google implements this patent on the Glass, users would be able to make a heart shape with their hands to “like” what’s in front of them, or frame something with their fingers to select it.

Back in August, Google was awarded a patent for “pay per gaze advertising,” which, through an eye-tracking device, could charge advertisers any time a Glass user physically looked at their ad. It’ll likely take years before Glass has enough of a user base for pay-per-gaze to be profitable, but rumor has it that Google has already been creating add-ons to this technology. What if they could charge advertisers based not only on gazes, but also reactions or emotions?

Last month I read a rumor that I dubbed “pay-per-reaction marketing.” In addition to gazes, Google could measure the level of a user’s pupil dilation and thus gauge his/her emotional response. Let’s say you gaze at an ad through the Glass– the advertiser would be charged. But if the ad brings out some sort of emotion and your pupils dilate- the advertiser would be charged even more.

I’m not at all sure how likely or how soon we’ll be “hearting” real-world objects on the Glass or if advertisers will someday be charged more for serving up ads with emotional pull. But they’re interesting thoughts, and I’d love to be able to say “I told you so” if Google implements its patents and they come to fruition down the road.
