Fully embracing the brands-as-publisher model, Digitas Cache II comes on the heels of the premier brand content event of the year, Digitas' The NewFront. Live streamed to over 250,000 viewers, the event attracted an audience comprised 50 percent of brand marketers.  

Digitas clients joined leading content creators, distributors and talent in a dialog on unique digital programming and publishing opportunities.  Clients were given a first look and unique access to the latest digital projects and insights, resulting in more than 60 meetings between leading brands and content creators to forge deals and original publishing opportunities. The program, "Pipe Dreams/Pipe Reality," showcased the fortunate challenges for marketers resulting from the proliferation of media opportunity.

In addition, the agency also recently released the Digitas Trends app for the iPad, a compilation of 45 trends across six categories: culture, data, devices, media, mobile, social.
