Miel Van Opstal
Consultant, Public Speaker, and Small Business Owner in Belgium
As a marketing facilitator, I've inspired, coached, consulted and transformed a few dozens of companies, advertising agencies and governmental institutions.
I believe that the future of marketing isn't intrinsically marketing. It's a discovery journey of contextual, highly-personalized, immersive, additive and meaningful information, delivered by intelligent and smart technology.
It's an experience - an intimate connection - regardless the device, medium, time or location.
I've created and implemented successful and future-ready strategies.
Merging the technological background from my years as a Consumer Technology Evangelist for Microsoft EMEA with the insights gathered over a decade as brand strategist and corporate consultant, I can build the bridge between technology, marketing and production.
I'm an enthusiastic and entertaining lecturer at colleges, business schools and universities where I talk and ponder about android contextual digital marketing, behavioral audience targeting and psychographic profiling.
I'm a passionate storyteller on how future technologies and artificial intelligent interfaces are already changing our lives and cultures, and the impact they have on our psyche, behavior and social connections.
