Mobile technology has been an engine of change for media marketing and content distribution. Consumers are looking for more flexibility in how they access that content and media. With the continuous demand for faster load times, especially when it comes to video and augmented-reality executions, companies will be quick to compete for improved wireless opportunities presented by the coming introduction of 5G networks. With faster connections and download speeds, how will the landscape of social media marketing change? What do you need to do to prepare? How will location data improve and be utilized? Globe Content Studio's social media and influencer strategist, Melissa Mendes, will discuss why marketers need to start taking a closer look at how 5G will impact their work.
