Edward Walker Director, Operations and Strategic Planning, Baby Box Canada Baby Box Canada is about more than a box of baby products or an ecommerce platform - it’s about a journey and an understanding of new things that will become really important for every new parent. It’s about how the right audience interacting with the right products at the right time can benefit an organization. Born as a goodwill experiment, “a new hope” to help new parents, Baby Box Canada quickly took on a life of its own. Almost instantly it began to shape itself. The real innovation came when scaling took hold and box demand exceeded any of our expectations. We quickly realized that the way customer packaged goods companies market their brands could change forever. This presentation is about Baby Box Canada’s start-up journey and the actions they took to create and sustain a new direct marketing and advertising business. Baby Box Canada has become a unique marketing experience that cradles both digital and physical media co-operatively to enable memorable moments, the kind of moments and experiences that easily translate into revenue. |

NFC Technology: Connecting physical and digital media
Mark Heise Applications Engineer – North America, Arjowiggins Creative Papers Along with the increasing popularity of mobile
devices enabled with near-field communication (NFC) technology, marketers and other
decision-makers are also pursuing media strategies that unite print with digital
channels including online, mobile, social and video. This in turn allows companies
to connect interactively with customers via multi-channel communications. By combining print and mobile, print providers can increase the value of print by enhancing its ability to engage and interact with customers. Mark will use real-world examples to showcase how NFC technology can provide opportunities to connect with customers, and will explain how this new technology can be integrated into new and existing materials.
