Over 550 digital marketers, tech executives, publishers and trendsetters spoke about this year’s theme: “Digital is everything — not every thing is digital.” [caption id="attachment_31028" align="alignright" width="300"] Christine Cook at dmexco 2016[/caption] One of of the speakers was our head of advertising partnerships, Christine Cook. She joined Dr. Stephanie Caspar from WeltN24, Haley Romer from The Atlantic, Arne Wolter from G+J and Tanja zu Waldeck from BurdaForward for a publisher panel called  “Next Media Accelerators: How to innovate and transform the publishing business.” One of the big themes in the conversation was the importance of authenticity and quality when it comes to building a loyal audience.
