? Digital Comm: Fast, fun, interactive, viral (everyone can share and see and something cool can go viral)

? Importance of reaching out to customers: Ads! If you reach millions of people, you will manage to make more money thanks to ads

?Special ad campaigns created for the Olympic Games and can be transmitted through all social media

? Digital techs are interactive. And public that used to be only spectators can now feel part of the games. Tons of apps and special devices, such as the Nike?s devices (faut que tu check le nom, j ai oubli?) and you can compare your results to the athletes? etc?.

? you should also speak about the new museum in Lausanne, the HQ of the IOC!! It?s incredible! Full of technology, games, videos, super interactive etc. donc you can tell them that the campaigns of the IOC should be as modern as the new museum.

? Plus, all countries having the Games, will make sure that they expose their latest technologies, especially during the opening ceremony, during which the eyes of the world as well as the world leaders are set on it! Perfect opportunity to show the world what the country has to offer (donc attracts investors? And tourism? Brains to work in the country and develop it further?)
