physicist & author of Einstein's Dreams & other books, illuminates the
new cosmos we have wrought: infinite data.

Luxe brands seek the "Rich," but who are they? New Digitas research
shines light on the affluent in America today.
-- Local: The New Global Imperative -- Hannah Kreiswirth, Producer, Digitas

local culture. Brands find it in local phenom like The Brooklyn Flea.

Tag along on a virtual shopper's journey and explore the seemingly
endless choices in mobile technology.

the world of TV 3.0.

Geo-targeted marketing fueled by mobile technology presents infinite
opportunities for brands. Check in now.
-- A Day in the Never-ending Day -- Pam Knox, Senior Copywriter. Always on:

where does that leave appreciation, and value?

Fully embracing the brands-as-publisher model, Digitas Cache II comes on the heels of the premier brand content event of the year, Digitas' The NewFront. Live streamed to over 250,000 viewers, the event attracted an audience comprised 50 percent of brand marketers.
Digitas clients joined leading content creators, distributors and talent in a dialog on unique digital programming and publishing opportunities. Clients were given a first look and unique access to the latest digital projects and insights, resulting in more than 60 meetings between leading brands and content creators to forge deals and original publishing opportunities. The program, "Pipe Dreams/Pipe Reality," showcased the fortunate challenges for marketers resulting from the proliferation of media opportunity.
In addition, the agency also recently released the Digitas Trends app for the iPad, a compilation of 45 trends across six categories: culture, data, devices, media, mobile, social.
