In the evolving world of programmatic advertising, understanding viewability metrics is crucial for optimizing high-impact campaigns. If you’re utilizing Adnami’s technology suite, it’s essential to grasp the nuances between Adnami’s viewability metrics and those from other platforms like Google Ad Manager (GAM).

Real-time Viewability: Adnami measures viewability in real-time, ensuring that ads are genuinely seen by users.


Dynamic Ad Formats: Specialized in high-impact formats like skins and scrollers, Adnami's metrics are tailored to these dynamic ad types.


Standard Viewability: GAM provides a more general measure of viewability, which might not fully capture the impact of high-impact formats.

True Engagement: Adnami focuses on ensuring that ads are not just served but viewed in a meaningful way, accounting for user engagement and interaction.


Accuracy: Metrics provided by DSPs and platforms like GAM might not fully align with the specialized nature of high-impact formats. Adnami offers a more accurate picture of how these ads perform.


As a programmatic buyer, relying solely on DSP metrics can lead to an incomplete understanding of your campaign’s performance. To optimize your high-impact campaigns, it’s vital to integrate Adnami’s suite for a comprehensive viewability analysis. Here’s how you can achieve this:

Compare Metrics: Regularly compare DSP viewability metrics with those provided by Adnami to identify discrepancies and better understand ad performance.


Leverage Adnami Tools: Utilize Adnami’s reporting tools to gain deeper insights into engagement and viewability specific to high-impact formats.


Optimize Campaigns: Use the insights from Adnami’s metrics to make informed decisions about ad placements, formats, and strategies, ensuring that your campaigns achieve maximum impact.

In the competitive landscape of digital advertising, leveraging accurate and specialized metrics is key to driving success. Adnami’s viewability metrics provide the detailed insights necessary for optimizing high-impact programmatic campaigns. By integrating these metrics into your analysis, you can ensure that your ads are not only seen but truly engaged with, leading to better campaign outcomes.

Understanding Adnami Viewability: A Guide for Advertisers and Agencies

As we approach the final quarter of 2024, digital advertisers find themselves at the crossroads once again. Q4 remains the most anticipated - and often most challenging - period in the advertising calendar. Packed with shopping events like Halloween, Black Friday, and the festive run-up to Christmas, Q4 offers immense opportunities but also formidable obstacles. The difference between success and failure can be razor-thin, especially in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.

So, is Q4 still the goldmine we hoped for, or has it turned into a potential landmine for advertisers? Let’s dive into how 2024’s unique trends and tools are shaping this decisive season.

Marketing Consumers are more conscious of the brands they support, and sustainability is no longer a niche topic - it’s mainstream. This Q4, advertisers who ignore this trend risk being left behind. Brands that can authentically weave sustainability into their messaging will likely enjoy stronger engagement and loyalty. However, greenwashing - insincere environmental claims- could turn your Q4 campaign into a public relations disaster. Authenticity is everything in this space.


2024 is the year of hyper-personalization, thanks to advancements in AI and machine learning. Advertisers now have access to powerful tools that can create dynamic, real-time ad experiences tailored to individual user behaviors and preferences. This means you can serve precisely the right message at the right moment. But beware - misuse of data can make consumers feel like they’re being tracked too closely, resulting in ad fatigue or distrust.

The Battle for Attention in a Cookie-less World 

As privacy regulations tighten and the third-party cookie fades into history, the shift to first-party data strategies has intensified. For Q4, advertisers must leverage owned data and contextual advertising to create targeted, meaningful interactions with consumers. This shift presents an opportunity to create more relevant, privacy-respecting campaigns, but it requires preparation and the right tech stack to pull off.

How to Win in Q4: Strategies for Advertisers

Black Friday is no longer just about one chaotic day. Brands are stretching deals over “Black Week” or even the entire month of November. The key here is not to overload consumers with endless promotions but to create phased, compelling offers that build anticipation. Keep the messaging sharp and avoid blending into the sea of discounts. Offer something unique - whether it’s a personalized experience, an exclusive product, or a socially-conscious message - to stand out.


In a season packed with competition, standard ad placements won’t cut it. High-impact digital formats, such as skins, takeovers, and interactive display ads, offer more immersive and engaging experiences. These formats not only capture consumer attention but also deliver stronger brand recall. In Q4, standing out is essential, and high-impact ads provide that competitive edge.

Focus on First-Party Data & Contextual Ads 

With the phasing out of third-party cookies, successful Q4 campaigns will be those that utilize first-party data effectively. Contextual advertising is seeing a resurgence, and rightly so. Brands that align their ads with relevant content will see higher engagement and stronger consumer connections. The message needs to complement the content, delivering a seamless user experience that feels less like an ad and more like an enhancement to the viewer’s journey.

While Q4 offers a wealth of opportunities, it’s also littered with pitfalls for unprepared advertisers. Here’s how to navigate the potential landmines:

Avoiding Ad Fatigue: The temptation to push more ads during Q4 is strong, but consumers quickly tire of seeing the same messages. Focus on diversity in your creative and ensure you’re not flooding your audience across all channels. Quality over quantity is key.

Maintaining Brand Integrity: In the rush to capitalize on sales, brands can sometimes lose sight of their core values. Make sure your promotions align with your brand’s mission. In an era where authenticity reigns supreme, disingenuous tactics will backfire.

Leveraging Brand-Safe Media for Maximum Impact: While social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok constantly evolve, Q4 success requires stability and control over where your ads appear. That’s why leveraging Concept X’s portfolio of brand-safe premium publishers is the smart move this season. Our curated selection of media ensures your ads run in environments that align with your brand values, protecting both your message and your reputation.


By choosing high-quality, trusted media outlets, you not only avoid the unpredictability of social media algorithms but also gain a stronger foothold in spaces where your target audience engages with confidence. This level of assurance allows advertisers to focus on crafting compelling narratives without worrying about misplaced ads or harmful associations. In Q4, playing it safe isn’t just about protection—it’s about maximizing the impact of every interaction.

At Concept X, we understand that Q4 is a crucial period for advertisers. Our innovative suite of tools - like Hello Creative for stunning creative work and Contxt for precision in targeting - ensures that your campaigns are not only seen but truly resonate with your target audience. From dynamic creative optimization to contextual ad placement, we help you stay ahead of the trends while maximizing impact.

As Q4 2024 approaches, don’t leave your success to chance. The right strategy, combined with the right tools, can turn this quarter into the most lucrative part of your year.

Are you ready to navigate Q4 like a pro? Let’s discuss how we can collaborate to make this season your best yet.

Advertisers Beware: How to Thrive in the Q4 2024 Frenzy

Copenhagen, Denmark - October 3, 2024 - Concept X, a leading innovator in the digital advertising space, is proud to announce the sale of its former portfolio company, Podads, to European podcast giant Podimo. This strategic acquisition ensures Podads' continued growth while positioning Concept X to pursue new investment opportunities within the ad tech and digital media sectors.

Launched in 2020, Podads rapidly gained traction in Denmark’s podcast advertising market. Concept X immediately recognised the potential in Podads' vision to transform the space, offering more than just financial backing. With Concept X’s decade-long expertise, the company provided strategic guidance, operational support, and crucial industry connections to help scale Podads from an early-stage startup to a market leader.


“We’re incredibly grateful that we had the opportunity to join Podads from the very beginning of this exciting journey,” said Jens Holm, CEO of Concept X. “It’s been a fun and educational experience for both teams. Our role was clear - to support Podads through the early challenges and help them scale, and we’re thrilled to have seen them grow to this stage.”


With Podads firmly established, the next logical step was to join forces with Podimo, Europe’s premier podcast platform. This partnership provides the perfect environment for Podads to expand into new growth areas.


"Podimo is the perfect partner to take Podads to the next level, and we’re proud to have been a part of this incredible journey," Holm continued. "Working closely with Anne-Kathrine and the rest of the Podads team was a pleasure - thanks for the journey guys, it was a great ride. 

As Concept X exits its involvement with Podads, the company is eager to focus on fresh opportunities. Having proven its expertise in taking startups from the ground floor to market leadership, Concept X actively seeks new ventures, particularly companies looking to accelerate their journey towards Series A funding.


"At Concept X, we specialise in partnering with visionary startups and taking them through key growth phases - particularly toward Series A and B funding," Holm emphasised. "We’ve demonstrated with Podads how we can accelerate success, and we are ready to do it again with new companies that want to scale quickly and efficiently."

Podads sold to European podcast leader Podimo, as Concept X pursues new investment opportunities

At the annual Concept Xpo this August, we shared an observation that is reshaping the digital media landscape: Audiences are moving away from following brands and platforms, and are instead seeking out trusted personalities: the storytellers who bring content to life with a clear, authentic voice.

In today’s world, audiences aren’t simply looking for information; they’re looking for content that feels genuine and relatable, with a sense of connection to the person delivering it. We see this shift in the rise of SoMe personalities, who have built recognizable brands of their own. But it’s not limited to major public figures - this trend extends into niche topics and interests, signaling a deeper move towards authenticity as a key competitive edge.

Today’s media consumers are increasingly selective and savvy in choosing where they get their information. They want voices they can relate to, storytellers who aren’t constrained by brand guidelines or corporate tone. This shift in audience preference is transferring influence from traditional media structures to the people who bring those stories to life.

For publishers, this is a critical moment to recognize that producing quality content alone isn’t enough - it has to feel real. Audiences want to see and connect with the people behind the stories. In this new landscape, it’s up to publishers to step out from behind the scenes and engage directly with their audiences, building a community that’s personal, dynamic, and loyal.

Authentic Content: The Antidote to AI-Generated Clutter

With the rise of AI and automated content, the amount of available information has grown exponentially. But what stands out amid the sea of AI-generated content? It’s the content that feels truly human and unique. While AI can generate text at speed, it can’t replicate authenticity, emotion, or human connection.

This is where publishers have an incredible advantage. By producing content that is personal and relatable, publishers can create a meaningful contrast to the more polished, impersonal content that’s increasingly flooding digital spaces. Publishers have the opportunity to engage audiences in ways that feel real, compelling, and human - which is exactly what audiences want right now.

How to Make Your Content More Personal and Engaging

Step Into the Spotlight: Let editors, journalists, and hosts have a visible presence. Audiences want to see who’s behind the stories, and they respond to genuine personalities who openly share their values and insights.

Leverage Social Media: Look to creators on SoMe platforms, who engage audiences across multiple platforms by interacting directly with their followers. Social media isn’t just a distribution channel - it’s a space to build community, listen, and respond.

Be Transparent and Human: Show the behind-the-scenes moments of your work. Audiences love a glimpse into the process. Share both the wins and the challenges, creating a sense of trust and openness.

Create Niche Content with a Personal Twist: Niche content is valuable, especially when it’s presented with a personal angle. Think about how your content can reflect more specific interests and create a sense of depth for audiences who crave authenticity and insight.

Authenticity as the New Competitive Advantage

As audiences increasingly turn away from generic, AI-generated content and look for human, relatable stories, publishers have a unique opportunity to set themselves apart. By emphasizing the personal touch, publishers can not only retain their audience but also strengthen trust and loyalty in a digital space where authenticity is the ultimate advantage.

In a crowded content landscape, authenticity is what cuts through the noise. Ready to bring your content to life?

Engage Audiences by Bringing Authenticity to the Forefront

The landscape of digital content monetization is undergoing rapid evolution. From paywalls to gated content and ad-supported models, publishers are constantly experimenting with strategies to balance revenue generation with user satisfaction. In our previous post, we explored the importance of having a gated content strategy. Today, we’ll take that conversation further by examining the broader shifts in monetization driven by privacy regulations, ad blockers, and changing consumer behaviors.

With ad-blocking usage on the rise and GDPR reshaping how user data can be collected, publishers are increasingly adopting a “Pay or Engage” approach, where users are given a choice: pay for access or engage with ads. However, "pay" doesn’t always mean monetary payment. In many cases, the transaction involves creating a login, where users give both consent and first-party data. This allows publishers to establish more meaningful, long-term connections with their audience.


Ultimately, the choice for the user comes down to either providing engagement through consent (the "Engage" with ads) or logging in (the "Pay" with data), giving users control over how they interact with your content while ensuring publishers collect the valuable data they need.

Takeaway for Publishers: At Concept X, we help publishers integrate dynamic, high-impact ads that respect user privacy while delivering premium content experiences. With solutions like those from Adnami and Hello Creative, ad-supported models feel seamless, adding value to the overall user journey rather than being intrusive.


Evolving User Engagement: From Passive Ads to Interactive Experiences

The shift in digital advertising is clear: today’s users expect interactive, tailored ad experiences rather than the traditional passive ad impressions. Ads are no longer just a method for brand visibility - they must provide relevance and interaction to captivate users.

At Concept X, we empower publishers and advertisers to move beyond traditional ads and explore native content, storytelling, and dynamic creative optimization (DCO). Interactive, contextually relevant ads foster deeper engagement and longer-lasting impressions.

Our Approach: Concept X’s platforms, such as Storybook and Contxt, allows us to craft narratives and tailor ads to the user’s context, ensuring higher engagement and greater ROI for advertisers.


Gated Content’s Role in a Cookieless World

As third-party cookies phase out, collecting first-party data through gated content becomes more important than ever. Gated content offers publishers a way to establish trust with their audience, provide value upfront, and collect valuable user data in exchange for premium access. This not only complies with privacy regulations but also builds user loyalty and enables better personalization in the future.

Our Solution: At Concept X, we support publishers’ efforts to create seamless, value-driven content gateways. By enabling users to access premium articles, exclusive content, or research reports in exchange for first-party data, publishers can maintain user trust while gaining valuable insights. Concept X is keen to leverage this first-party data to help publishers craft more targeted and effective advertising strategies.


Blending Content Gating and Ad Strategies for Sustainable Growth

Rather than viewing content gating and ad-supported models as opposing strategies, publishers should see them as complementary approaches. Successful publishers often provide users with a mix of options: premium gated content for loyal subscribers and high-quality, targeted ads for casual visitors. This balance enables publishers to diversify their revenue streams and ensure user engagement across different segments of their audience.

Future Outlook: Concept X’s streamlined solutions allow publishers to seamlessly blend these strategies, combining gated content with impactful ad formats. Whether users choose to pay (with data) or engage with ads, Concept X ensures the user experience remains cohesive, driving sustained growth for publishers.


Conclusion: Navigating the Future of Digital Content

The digital content space is more competitive and challenging than ever. Whether through a gated content strategy, dynamic ads, or a combination of both, the path to success lies in creating genuine value for users. As publishers navigate privacy regulations, ad blockers, and shifting consumer preferences, Concept X is here to help turn these challenges into opportunities.

By leveraging Concept X’s outlets - like Hello Creative, Storybook, and Contxt - you can build an ad-content strategy that not only enhances revenue but also fosters deeper connections with your audience. Ready to future-proof your monetization strategy? Let’s create advertising that resonates, engages, and grows.

From Gated Content to Sustainable Monetization

How STIMOROL reached new audiences by stepping out of the marketing comfort zone and entered into a conversation with their target audience.

For more than 60 years, STIMOROL has been the Danes’ chewing gum of choice.

But how do a brand with a strong heritage ensure to refresh the brand and at the same time increase brand consideration amongst GenZ - a target group notoriously allergic to classic advertising, and on top of that convince them to chew a little bit more than they do today?
That exact question led Storybook and STIMOROL on a quest together to work outside the box of old school marketing.


The Strategy? A deep dive into the target audience, their interests and passion points. Instead of talking “to” them, we decided to engage and interact with them, within one of their main interests; Music.

With this as our main driver, the podcast “Lidt at Tygge på” came to life. A podcast where the biggest Danish music artists were invited into the STIMOROL studio to talk about themselves, their music, and the obstacles in life that made them who they are today. All with the singular goal to give our audiences something to chew on. Pun intended.


The campaign supporting the podcast was built on three main pillars:

Popular artists: The artists were all big within our target audience, while all being truly authentic and having stories to share. 

Broad distribution: The podcast was available across a wide range of podcast platforms, and smaller cut-downs/teasers from the episodes filmed in the studio were shared across social media. On top of this both banners, digitorials and earned media provided a continuous foundation in relevant media outlets.

Selection and testing: To ensure engagement and relevance, without compromising reach during the go-live period, a continuous process of testing and adjusting on selected content were optimized across media.



·   Top 7 most popular podcast on Spotify

·   92+ hours spent with the brand - within the target audience

·   +18% Ad recall within the target audience (2,7x above benchmark)

·   19M impressions across the campaign

The results speak for themselves – by approaching the audience through their own topic of interest, STIMOROL managed, not only to get the attention of GenZ, but also engage and intrigue them.

The success of the podcast continues to live as a testament that pushing boundaries, daring to be original, testing, learning and optimizing, can really ensure relevancy. And maybe - just maybe - give your target audience something to chew on.

Something to chew on (Chew on This) is live with season 3 on Spotify right now. Tune in and listen. 

Chew on this!, by STIMOROL

As we kicked off Concept Xpo 2024 in August, one theme took center stage: "Don't Rock the Boat" - a reflection of today's risk-averse environment in digital advertising. With an emphasis on resource optimization and precision, both publishers and advertisers are adapting to this new cautious landscape, where every ad spend must prove its worth.


The CFO’s Growing Role: A Trend for 2024 and Beyond

Our prediction last year that the CFO would take on a CMO-like role has not only come to pass but has strengthened as we head toward 2025. Advertisers face growing scrutiny over their budgets, while publishers feel the pressure to justify ad spend and results. Long decision cycles and a general sense of caution have redefined deal-making, requiring us to be more patient, strategic, and prepared with robust pipelines. This trend isn’t just for this year; we see it intensifying into 2025.


From Trend to Reality: The Impact on Publishers and Advertisers Alike

This cautious approach affects everyone in the digital ad ecosystem. Publishers, often seeking insights into future trends, are now navigating an environment where forecasting has become unusually challenging. Concept X understands these shifts, and we remain agile in meeting evolving demands, enabling advertisers and publishers to weather unpredictable times with adaptable solutions and streamlined processes. Empowering advertisers with almost direct control - allowing them to start and stop campaigns independently to optimise spend and time-to-market.


While a conservative outlook and lengthy decision-making processes shape the industry, Concept X is dedicated to breaking down barriers, championing transparency, and delivering time-to-market-friendly solutions that meet the needs of this new era. This climate of caution underscores the importance of agile, innovative, and responsive tools that can keep up with the shifting demands of both advertisers and publishers.


As we navigate this extended trend of caution and conservative investment through 2025, Concept X is here to help our clients make confident, data-backed decisions. Our commitment to adaptability means we’ll continue to refine our offerings to ensure your success - no matter what the future holds. Because in 2024 and beyond, it’s not just about rocking the boat, it’s about steering it safely through uncharted waters.

As we kicked off Concept Xpo 2024 in August, one theme took center stage: "Don't Rock the Boat" - a reflection of today's risk-averse environment in digital advertising. With an emphasis on resource optimization and precision, both publishers and advertisers are adapting to this new cautious landscape, where every ad spend must prove its worth.

"Don't Rock the Boat": The Age of Caution in Digital Advertising

In a world where digital advertising has become increasingly complex, Trusted Web is here to change the game for advertisers. Launched by Berlingske Media and Concept X, Trusted Web introduces a self-service ad platform that empowers advertisers to regain control, offering unprecedented transparency, brand safety, and direct access to premium ad inventory.

For years, advertisers have been navigating a convoluted landscape dominated by tech giants, where transparency is lacking, and a significant portion of advertising spend is lost along the way. But with Trusted Web, the focus shifts back to the essentials: ensuring that your ad spend works harder for you.

Christine Liv Nielsen, the newly appointed CEO of Trusted Web, is determined to address the very issues that have plagued advertisers for years: "We want to bring transparency and brand safety to the market. When advertisers invest in a campaign, they should see those results reflected in a clear and understandable way."

A key advantage of Trusted Web lies in its transparent value chain, ensuring that advertisers know exactly where their money goes and what value they receive. This marks a significant departure from traditional models, where up to 49% of ad spend can be lost to intermediaries and third parties.

With Trusted Web, you can be confident that your advertising budget is being utilized efficiently, with full visibility across the entire process. Additionally, the platform offers brand safety, ensuring your ads are placed in reputable environments and that every campaign is as effective as possible.

Advanced Targeting with Contextual Precision

The platform also brings contextual targeting to the forefront, enabling advertisers to match their messages with the most relevant content. This is further enhanced by Concept X’s extensive network of 120-200 niche sites such as Maduniverset, which complements the reach of Berlingske’s leading news media properties.

Contextual targeting eliminates the need for relying solely on third-party data. Instead, ads are delivered in the right context, ensuring a deeper connection with your audience. By aligning with the content users are consuming, brands can achieve higher engagement, better results, and a more personalized advertising experience—all without compromising privacy.

Trusted Web plans to leverage Berlingske Media’s extensive first-party data to enhance targeting capabilities even further. Christine Liv Nielsen has indicated that by 2025, first-party data will be integrated into the platform, offering advertisers exclusive access to premium insights, making campaigns even more effective. This shift will provide advertisers with a unique edge, especially as the industry moves away from third-party cookies.

Trusted Web is built on the successful foundations laid by DPG Media’s Ad Manager in Belgium and the Netherlands, where it has revolutionized the way advertisers engage with media properties. Christine Liv Nielsen views this launch in Denmark as a critical first step, with plans to expand into other Nordic and Northern European markets after gaining traction locally.

“We’re starting strong in Denmark, but the goal is to expand further into the Nordics and eventually into Northern Europe,” says Christine Liv Nielsen. “This is about much more than launching a platform - it’s about reshaping the digital advertising landscape.”

Trusted Web offers advertisers a unique opportunity to regain control of their digital ad spend with full transparency and access to a robust network of trusted media sites. As the platform continues to grow, it’s clear that it represents a new era of advertiser-driven results - free from the constraints of traditional big-tech advertising ecosystems.

Navigating the Post-Cookie Era with Concept X

As the summer sun graces us with its warmth, it's not just a time for sunbathing and vacations but also a perfect opportunity for publishers to recharge and reflect. Summer offers a unique blend of relaxation and strategic contemplation, making it an ideal period to pause, plan, and prepare for the upcoming months. Here's a feel-good guide on what to consider during this vibrant season.


1. Embrace the Need for Rest and Rejuvenation

Summer is synonymous with relaxation. Taking time off to rest is not only beneficial for personal well-being but also for professional rejuvenation. A well-rested mind is more creative and efficient. Encourage your team to take breaks, enjoy the sunshine, and come back refreshed and ready to innovate.

Travel is more than just a break from routine; it’s a source of inspiration. Exploring new places can offer fresh perspectives and ideas that can be integrated into your publishing strategies. Whether it's a local getaway or an international adventure, travel can fuel creativity and provide a broader view of the world, which is invaluable for content creation.

Summer is a great time to look back on the first half of the year. Analyze what worked well and what didn’t. Reflecting on your achievements and challenges helps in understanding trends and reader preferences. Use insights from Concept X Adpay to gather data on your performance. This will provide a clear picture of audience engagement and help fine-tune your strategies.

With a clearer mind, use the summer to strategize for the second half of the year. Identify key goals and milestones. Consider market trends, emerging technologies, and reader demands. Crafting a well-thought-out plan now can set a strong foundation for success in the latter part of the year. Partnering with Concept X can offer you valuable insights and innovative tools to enhance your planning process.

5. Strengthen Relationships with Your Audience

Summer is also a good time to engage with your audience on a more personal level. Light-hearted, summer-themed content can resonate well with readers. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your team’s summer activities, offer engaging and fun content, and create interactive experiences that strengthen the bond with your audience.

While the usual rush is slowed down, experiment with new content formats. Podcasts, videos, and interactive articles can offer a fresh way to engage your audience. Summer gives you the breathing space to innovate without the pressure of immediate deadlines. Explore innovative formats and ideas from Concept X’s recent blog posts and LinkedIn activities for fresh inspiration.

Use the relaxed summer atmosphere to strengthen your team. Organize team-building activities, retreats, or casual gatherings. A strong, cohesive team is the backbone of a successful publishing strategy. Summer is perfect for fostering collaboration and unity within your team.

8. Reevaluate Your Tools and Technologies

Take this time to review the tools and technologies you use. Are there new platforms or software that can streamline your processes? Summer provides an opportunity to explore and implement new tools that can enhance productivity and efficiency in the latter part of the year.

What to Consider During Summer: A Feel-Good Guide for Publishers

The new Concept X is a platform for growth, and our ambitions extend beyond just the commercial and technical aspects. It's also meant to be a platform where knowledge is shared, networks are built, and the future trends within the media industry are explored. Our goal is to bring together the best minds in the industry and create a dialogue that can shape the future of digital marketing and media innovation. Together, we aim to strengthen the local advertising industry. To support this, we have created Concept Xpo.

Concept Xpo is an event for our publishers, serving as an extension of this vision. It's not just an event; it's meant to be an experience. A day where we gather experts, enthusiasts, and curious minds to share knowledge, discuss trends, and look at what the future holds for us. With Xpo, we aim to create a platform where everyone can learn, grow, and be inspired.

The day featured inspiring presentations primarily from our internal team but also from external speakers. Since it was the first Concept Xpo, we felt it was okay to talk a bit about ourselves, but we also gave the stage to others with deep expertise and passion for their field. We intentionally planned a tight schedule, but the setting was intimate, and we were pleased that so many stayed for the subsequent mingling, where we also saw many contacts being made across our network. We look forward to seeing this unfold in the coming time.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are so grateful for the praise about our external speakers. From "He had his stuff together" to "Gitte's energy is magical", we were thrilled to hear that our speakers managed to engage and inspire you. We received some fantastic suggestions for improvements, which we will definitely take into account. We appreciate your feedback and will work hard to make the next Concept Xpo even better.

We've developed a taste for more, and we're already planning the next Concept Xpo, set to take place in the Spring of 2024. The stage will be bigger, the participant list longer, and the agenda will be deeper. Although the exact date is not yet set, we can already reveal that we're slowly building the content and have listened to your suggestions regarding the topics you find interesting. So, keep an eye out for updates!

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the event. Without you, the day wouldn't have been the same. We're thrilled with the positive feedback we've received and look forward to seeing all of you again at the next Concept Xpo.

For those who couldn't attend this time, we hope this summary gives you an insight into the thoughts behind the event - and that we'll see you next time! 

Until then, follow us on the blog and LinkedIn for more updates and insights into the media industry.

A day where we gather experts, enthusiasts, and curious minds to share knowledge, discuss trends, and look at what the future holds for us.
