FIBEP Media Intelligence Business Ecosystem

About the Technical Advisory Commission

The Tech Advisory Commission (TAC) is a team of FIBEP members working together to monitor, explore and analyse the role of technology in the media intelligence business, now and in the future. TAC has eight members and it is chaired by Alessandro Cederle, Business Development for Europe, TVEyes.

There is no doubt that technology will become a core business function within organizations and according to the ICCO World PR Report for 2020-2021, investment in IT and technology is expected to grow over the next five years. This is an incredible opportunity.

We need to identify opportunities and threat in terms of new technologies and new content sources, establish a conversation with leading players in the digital environment, suggest the appropriate rules of engagement for all FIBEP members.

Objectives

  • Understand the role of technology in our industry, now and for the future. Organize this knowledge and make it accessible.
  • Establish a relationship and a conversation with technology experts and relevant players.
  • Map the offer. Identify different technologies, list the main vendors in each.
  • Enable technology dissemination through the definition and promotion of industry standards.

Key activities

  • Data Exchange: a content interchange standard built in a structured way to stream data in order to make interchange seamless.
  • Tech Members Directory: to enable FIBEP members to locate their tech partner for a particular solution they are offering. It will include a tech vocabulary to correct/fix misconceptions about certain tech terms used, specifically within the media intelligence industry.
  • Podcast: a new format aiming to promote FIBEP as the leading organization in the field of media intelligence and to keep FIBEP members and the general public informed with the latest of the media intelligence world, with focus on technology and new media.
