The topic of the conference was ´The Engagement Economy´. We moved from ´Industrial Economy´ to ´Consumer Economy´, and now we are experiencing the ´Engagement Economy´ which should be applied as well in digital marketing. Companies need to adopt a more personal approach in their communication with consumers.

Amazon and the store of the future / Amazon y la tienda del futuro
Also curious about how Amazon got so big and successful? I was!! And wanted to see and hear firsthand about their story. On 8th of February 2018, ESIC Barcelona organized a seminar about Amazon called ´Amazon and the store of the future´.
One of the secrets learned why Amazon got so successful, is that they kept expanding business and product offer. In the beginning they just started selling books, then DVD and music and then offering more product categories.Through data they found out what customers want and how they wanted it and this is the reason why Amazon has a big range of products. Big data was already a big thing in Amazon´s business.
Time is changing and they quickly realized that today customers want convenience and fast service. The 80 / 20 rule was definitely applied here. Always have a niche market and keep investigating and getting to know your niche market.
Amazon also understands that being physically available will boost business. So how will the store of the future look like? Amazon Go is the store of the future! Another technology adopted by Amazon is their delivery drone designed by ´Starship´, which is a small car robot that delivers online purchases.
The four secrets to have a solid eCommerce business as learned from Amazon:
- Keep expanding business
- Apply the 80 / 20 rule
- Include review section on your website, good for SEO too
- Embrace technology into your business

Diversity at Mobile World Congress 2017:
As Diversity4Tech.Science stands for diversity inclusion, one of the main goals was to check diversity at MWC and the exhibiting companies. Surprisingly, actually not really a surprise it was more a confirmation that more men were involved and especially in the higher positions. In terms of ethnicity it was striking that the majority was White People. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with that, but in order to reach more people and understand your audience and their needs, diversity is crucial.
We all now live in the 21st century, the century of millenials, where technology knowledge is present everywhere.
