- How to measure success of a cultural marketing program
Corporate culture has become a pop culture buzzword, but many executives don’t clearly understand the business purpose. This is one of the most untapped areas for marketers. Why? Consider this chain effect: Driving the right company narrative affects employee’s behaviors > collective behavior change affects company’s culture > and healthy organizational culture affects the entire company’s productivity. The stakes are high, with 70% of American employees are “disengaged” costing companies $450-to-$550 billion in lost productivity per year (Gallup). In his talk, Jason will address the genesis of the organizational culture movement, why it has become essential to growing a robust business and why it might possibly be the future of marketing.

Rapid Mobile Development using React Native and WordPress
Abstract:
With the promise of Learn Once, Write Anywhere: React Native opens up the mobile app development scene to JavaScript and WordPress developers like never before, providing unprecedented mobility for teams to develop, ship and deploy cross-platform applications and experiences to their users.
To showcase how React Native and WordPress can play together, let’s walk through a sample mobile app over the course of the lecture. Starting with an overview of why in the world anyone would want to do this, we’ll follow up with a breakdown all of the moving parts from zero to one hundred (I mean, real quick). Next, we’ll learn a little bit more about React Native with a recap on React itself. Finally, we’ll connect those ideas with the WordPress JSON API and ponder on ideas about the future to be written.
