How can agencies respond? This session isn't designed to 'bash' Google but highlight how agencies need to step up to the challenges in hand.

19:00 -- 19:30: "What words are worth -- semantics meets online advertising" (sponsored by ad pepper)
Professor David Crystal's specialist subjects are language and the internet. His pioneering linguistics work on the Sense Engine™, which resulted in the first ever patents for the semantic analysis of online content by computers, now powers the world’s first semantic ad network, the iSense Network. Professor Crystal delivers insights into the way language and meaning are constructed, reveals how this knowledge allows the 'semantic targeting' of advertisements with improved brand safety for online advertisers and also uncovers some of the deficiencies of contextual targeting.
