In a piece that first appeared in Encore, Alice Manners, CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, talks about her alternate career as a yoga teacher.
What one medium could you not live without?
You can’t ask me that question without getting the obvious answer. I have a portable wireless hotspot backup to keep me connected wherever I go and I look forward to frictionless commerce becoming a reality.

Wearable technology. Wearable tech isn’t new but it hasn’t fully taken off yet. It will open the doors to a much more granular understanding of people’s behaviours for marketers. Health will continue to be a strong niche category for wearable tech but I’m most interested in watches and glasses. The Pebble Watch was a great start and the fact that it was fully crowd funded is very cool. Watch out for the new batch of watches from the big brands as they will have significant functionality improvements. I also want those glasses from Google.
