Media has become real-time. Decision-making hasn’t.
While platforms optimise performance in milliseconds, most media budgets are still set in advance creating a growing disconnect between how consumers behave and how investment decisions are made.
In this session, Accor joins the conversation to explore what it really takes to move beyond static media planning toward more adaptive, responsive decision-making, and why so many organisations still struggle to get there.
Media has never been more advanced, or more fragmented. Platforms now optimise performance in real time, yet most media strategies still rely on fixed budgets, siloed teams, and decisions made weeks in advance. This creates a clear mismatch between how media operates and how it is managed.
This session questions whether current approaches to planning and optimisation remain fit for purpose. Featuring Accor, it explores what happens when brands move beyond channel based optimisation toward more connected, real time decision making. We will unpack organisational barriers, operational complexity, and challenges around control, trust, and measurement.
The discussion will also look at the next phase of media execution, where decisions as well as delivery become dynamic, and what that means for planning, investment, and management. As the industry shifts from managing channels to orchestrating systems, the real question is whether organisations are ready to keep up.
