Headless CMS is getting a lot a buzz these days. What is it? Why does it matter? And what does it mean in the world of WordPress?

Instead of thinking of WordPress as just for the web, what if you could use it with other emerging technologies  – virtual or augmented reality, for instance – to get really creative?

Hear from Ogilvy’s creative technologist, Pete Nellius, as he explores use cases in “bleeding edge” technologies using WordPress. This session is sure to get you thinking beyond the web into future possibilities!

Duration: 41 minutes

  • What is “creative technology?”
  • Advantages of WordPress over other Content Management Systems (CMS’)

  • How WordPress can be used to decouple content from the application
  • Creative ways of using the REST API
  • Bonus: How Ogilvy approaches marketing challenges
