SOUTH SEAS ISLAND, Fla., April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shipyard, one of the nation's fastest growing independent marketing firms, will deliver a keynote address today at Mediapost's "Data and Programmatic Insider's Summit." Entitled "Nature's Testing Engine," the session will be streamed via live webcast and presented by The Shipyard's Co-Chairman & Chief Tomorroist Jon Bond; and The Shipyard's President Ben Clarke.
Bond notes: "Marketers must evolve and take a page from Nature's Playbook. Natural processes that created the universe, life itself, and, of course us, are the state of the art when it comes to test and learn. Don't just adapt. Become adaptable – the alpha predator is actually the most vulnerable."
Designed to address this unique moment in advertising history, The Shipyard takes a different approach of surfacing natural processes and principles to find the way forward and navigate today's complex media environment.
"Evolutionary theories provide an extraordinarily useful roadmap," adds Ben Clarke, President at The Shipyard. "In looking at mutations in nature, we see that small incremental changes built up over time have made evolution mathematically feasible. It's not one big bang change – it's hundreds of millions of tiny changes that ultimately drive change. In that vein, marketers need to do a lot more experiments. We must innovate in small steps – with each providing value in its own right."
Clarke leads the "Engine Room" at The Shipyard, which melds data analytics with the firm's programmatic media offering. The firm has had exponential growth by leading integration of data management platforms at top marketers and using its data attribution model to fuel more efficient acquisition retention and cross selling.
"Just like nature's testing engine, The Shipyard uses data and testing to drive our convictions and build powerful acquisition programs on behalf of our clients," said Clarke.
