Here’s everything you need to know about OMD and its new event.

OMD’s Event Series
OMD will launch a new events series, Sense, with a conference in Dubai.
The event is set to be launched on the 25th of May under the name of (De)Code H and it will take place in the Museum of the Future. As we previously mentioned the event will provide and explore new ways to build a strong bond with consumers and stakeholders, it will also bring international thought-leadership and practice to discuss relevance, importance, and management of trust, empathy, psychology, and ethics in business and corporate relationships.
OMD partnered with W Group, a company owned by W Ventures Holdings to offer cutting-edge out-of-home media and digital and experimental solutions.
Right now we realize that a disconnect with people falling out of love with advertising is growing and the business and marketing have turned cold as it is all driven by data, algorithms, and AI and it sometimes looks at people as machines or robots instead of humans. To be able to create a deeper bond with the consumers and business partners, it is essential to change focus and consider the warmer side of data organizations.
