What we do
Global consultancy service providing companies with guidance on the ever complex and increasingly digital commercial world. With over 20 years working inside and with media companies across the world, CEO Mark Challinor knows what’s needed for tackling today’s fast paced environment.
For media companies this typically means steering through the maze of moving from a traditional print environment into a “print plus digital” world and for other brands, guidance into how they can build then drive digital interactions with their audiences.
In all cases, this process involves how new revenues can be achieved while protecting and developing current revenue streams. All given in a no-nonsense, practical style which helps companies be able to begin new or further existing journeys.
In 2014/15 and now in 2016,, Media Futures Ltd has helped companies in the media, e-commerce and entertainment industries in the following areas…
Context / environment examination: e.g. studying the market factors behind an industries development.
Cultural Change: the process of constructing a digital strategy, how to provide the right staff and skill sets, investment scenarios, cross discipline adopting (in media terms normally editorial and commercial area synergies), the importance of continuous product development, attitude, agility.
Connected everything ("The Internet of Things"): the future vision. What will our world look like? From the assessment of wearables such as smart watchers and Google Glass to tools such as augmented reality and mobile ad targeting.
Customer experience management: the appliance of (neuro) science, what is the future of advertising & marketing, the role of creativity and creating a new customer experience.
The rise of “mobile”: what is mobile (e.g. a connection, a device, a behaviour?). The need for user centricity and how mobile provides a unique interaction, targeting and revenue generating opportunity.
Marketing guidance and support; Writing marketing plans which cover essentials such as customer loyalty programmes, promotional marketing and thought leadership.
Social media: the importance of, which to use, how to use, when to use and correctly targeting new customers via social media apps.

Data: the new oil? How do we extract it, manipulate it and commercialise it? e-commerce, m-commerce, what should be our future digital offerings (how can data be used to help us shape new product/services and brand extensions).
