Media Forum

WFA Media Forum

WFA Media Forum brings together global media leads to share insight and drive actions on their priority issues.

Join the Forum

The global media market  has never been so complex. Planning, strategy and channel selection; routes-to-market; internal and external capability; media measurement, verification and evaluation; media auditing and consulting are all changing rapidly.

WFA Media Forum connects professionals from increasingly diverse roles to exchange, learn from each other and find practical solutions to their most pressing challenges. In addition to global media leads, it’s not uncommon to find programmatic and data specialists within this network, as well as those from the procurement side of the business. The connecting tissue is a common interest in paid media – offline and online. Value is delivered through critical research and reports, physical and remote forums and online tools and benchmarking services.

    Media Transformation - Case Study 2: Royal Philips

    The adoption of programmatic and ‘precision at scale’ principles, the changing nature of technology and data ownership and the shifting partner relationships. Clients in the media space find themselves in radically different roles to the recent past.

    We’re seeing a growing focus on education and company-wide transformation of the client-side media function. The agents of change leading this are typically in global media roles, as is the case in this inspiring media transformation case study written by Sital Banerjee, Global Head of Media & Marketing Performance at Philips.

    This is the second part of a serial of Media Transformation case studies that WFA is publishing, to provide inspiration and education to clients in media and marketing roles.
