Transformation and Innovation in Digital Marketing

Dramatic shifts in the media and advertising world have complicated message delivery to, and emotional connection with, consumers. These consumers now demand rich digital experiences everywhere—on every screen—harnessing new technologies which heighten engagement through voice, touch and gesture. The challenge for marketers is to bring this innovation together into a cohesive experience, and not simply a randomized set of buys. Microsoft illustrates how to navigate this new landscape, revealing exciting innovations, including the multi-screen campaign that is launching Chevrolet’s new Volt.

You Say You’ve Got A Revolution?
(Yes, We Do!)

Digital media have long been at the mercy of the sins of the fathers—considered a singular experience for consumers and purely a direct response vehicle for brands. That means a true creative revolution requires nothing short of a total reinvention of the online experience as we know it. AOL’s Jeff Levick hosts a panel of industry leaders addressing the shifting intersection of content, creativity, advertising and technology; the increasing importance of context; and, ultimately outlining what this brave (and brand!) new digital world can, should and will look like.

A Look Inside the Black Box – Tracking the Flow of Impressions and Data from Publisher to Brand

With so many inventory management, optimization and monetization vendors flooding the marketplace, there’s no shortage of hands vying for a chance to touch your inventory. Amidst the chaotic and sometimes mystical dynamics of the online ad ecosystem, have you ever wondered what happens to your inventory once you’ve passed it to a third party? Should you even care?

Join Casale Media’s Alex Gardner for an examination of the flow of inventory through this complex market, the brand and monetary implications involved, and the questions publishers should consider asking up front before granting any third party access to their inventory.

Workshop 3
Room 510, 5th floor

Strategy Is the New Creative

It is often argued that the interactive space, with its focus on measurement and metrics, has tilted the advertising scales toward "science" and away from "art." There is, however, another way to see the current evolution of the landscape. Rather than destroying the creative opportunity, the ability to define and target micro-audiences has opened up huge new opportunities in campaign strategy development. In fact, hyper-targeting has given birth to a new marriage of art and science where campaign strategy has become the new creative opportunity in advertising.

Audience Innovation: What Lies Ahead
Through the Eyes of a Well-Traveled Engineer

The relationship between consumers and technology is by design and necessity a two-way street. As consumer demands shape technological innovation, new technologies shape the way consumers live their daily lives. We are all consumers…and all-consumed. As this dynamic evolves, the power of audiences becomes the immovable force the industry must harness to drive digital media success. Increasing fragmentation in a constantly connected world means that marketers must use all available avenues to reach consumers, leveraging technologies to gain true insights and capitalize on the space’s true currency: audiences. Find out not just what these individuals are buying, but who they are, what they are passionate about, what they will have an emotional connection to, and how best to communicate with them.

Technology and Travel: Pack Your Bags We’re Going on an Audience Trip

What Advertisers Should Demand of the Web

Online advertising has not yet proven its full effectiveness for advertisers—and the proof is that ad dollars haven’t followed eyes. Advertisers can and should demand more from Web technology companies. Digital needs to be easier for advertisers by delivering true standardization—not through some new algorithm, but by delivering deep science at global scale. At the same time there must be a reinvention of the ad canvas to finally set creative free—across pc, mobile and new interactive TV services. And we must do it all in the context of an ever more social and increasingly local web. With this backdrop, Yahoo! Chief Product Officer Blake Irving will share an industry-scoped vision for the future of technology and online advertising.

Part of an overall program and partnership between HP and Beats Audio, Summer Beats is a prime example of a truly integrated campaign. In conjunction with HP’s creative and media agencies, McCann SF and OMG, HP partnered with DBG to create a premiere platform to communicate the HP Beats experience. The live and webisodic series leveraged paid, earned and social media to promote the live event. Additionally, Summer Beats executed a multi-channel distribution plan consisting of online, digital ooh and mobile media to reach the HP audience.

No longer merely an “add on”, digital now plays a central role in building brands and helping foster emotional connections between marketers and consumers. For Oreo that emotional connection is all about special moments shared over Oreos and milk and the “twist, lick & dunk” ritual. To bring the brand essence to life online, Oreo partnered with digital strategy and creative AOR 360i to create and execute an integrated campaign encompassing social marketing strategy, online creative, community management and Facebook tab development. The strategy is already paying dividends—Oreo has doubled its fan base on Facebook to over 9MM since the spring and is the #3 brand page on the platform, with consistently high levels of engagement and fan interaction.

This case study will reveal some of the key learnings and insights about how Oreo has used digital and social to inspire more engagement and advocacy and to stay connected to their millions of fans.

Are eCommerce targets the same as carefully-constructed offline targets? Proctor & Gamble wanted to find out with one of their flagship products: Crest WhiteStrips. By using predictive modeling, conversion by placement and testing different creative, the targeting, messaging, placements were updated based on results. P&G will share how they’ve learned and optimized based on their observations. Learn how these results can integrated into an offline marketing modeling mix.

Branded Entertainment –
Making the Case

Two leaders in branded entertainment share case studies which offer proof that 360° branded content is the future of digital marketing.

Building Buzz through Branded Entertainment
Subway & MTV Networks Digital

Case Study 2:
How Bertolli Broke Into the Heart of Italy

David Lang,
President,
Mindshare Entertainment

Gaston Vaneri,
Marketing Director, Frozen Foods,
Unilever

Content should be conversation—an opportunity to engage fans and ignite brands. To achieve this result, Subway partnered with MTV to create original branded entertainment designed to drive deeper, more meaningful connections with shared fans. The result was “Subway Fresh Buzz,” an original digital experience featuring 20 emerging artists in music, comedy and pop culture, which lived across multiple MTV properties and platforms including distribution on the social Web. With 70% of traffic resulting from social sharing (that’s five times the industry average!), the Subway Fresh Buzz experience is an example of branded entertainment at its best.

This case study share learnings about how, when and why to leverage branded entertainment to amplify reach, reputation and engagement.

For the Bertolli line of frozen foods, Unilever paired with its branded entertainment partner, Mindshare Entertainment, to create “Into the Heart of Italy,” a branded web series featuring various Bertolli products. The series, which has been described as “Top Chef”-meets-”The Amazing Race,” brought celebrities Marisa Tomei, Rocco DiSpirito, and Dan Cortese to Italy to unlock the secrets of Italian passion and the artisanal culinary techniques that have inspired Bertolli's line of frozen meals.

This integrated program drove consumer interest, delivered million of impressions and created new news for the brand. It is a testament to how strategic branded communications can help a premium brand grow in a stagnant economy.

Standards & Scale V. Creativity & Innovation
Have we reached an impasse?

Consumer mindshare online is growing at an exponential pace with new platforms and technologies allowing for unprecedented, immersive digital experiences. Yet the web remains an immature vehicle for brand advertising highlighting an inherent tension the industry has faced from its inception.

While adopting effective standards and ad formats is ostensibly what allows for scale, it has been argued that many such standards stifle creativity and innovation. Does “standard” stand in the way of engaging creative? Does a focus on always being “outside the box” leave us in a world of custom one-off executions that will never drive TV-like budgets?

This debate addresses both sides of the coin and explores how interactive advertising can strike the delicate balance allowing for both big business and big ideas.

Engagement Is the New ROI

It is time to start thinking of your customers not as impressions, but as active engagers with your brand—with opinions and the power to influence. Peer-to-peer is the single most powerful form of advertising, with 90 percent of purchase decisions being based on recommendations from peers. Finding the balance between your Paid, Owned and Earned media is vital leveraging your brand advocates and their peers. During this presentation you will find out how respected marketing leaders like Dove, Coach, Microsoft, Estée Lauder and Neiman Marcus have used social distribution and peer-to-peer influence to drive tens of millions of consumer engagements. Are they on Facebook? Twitter? Hi5? With millions of niche social sites and blogs, your consumers could be anywhere. Be sure you and your brand are there, too.

Insights & Technology Make a Perfect Marriage for Mobile Media

Agencies and brands today tend to view mobile as just another fracture in the media mix. The reality is much different. Mobile ad networks and the technology they provide offer planners the opportunity to make an integrated buy with the creative impact of TV (almost), the performance of search (almost), and massive reach—all in one place. Never before in the history of media has this been possible. Yet many planners make mistakes that undermine the value of mobile technology. This session provides a simple explanation of mobile technology with practical advice to planners for unlocking its full potential.

The New Rules for Reaching Audiences Online

It's clear that everything about the way we buy advertising is changing—and these changes show no sign of stopping. This is why “data portability” is emerging as a dominant topic. Hear from the people who know audiences best on what portability means to media buyers, and why buying a consistent audience has become so important. You can buy the audience you define across multiple publishers or what a particular publisher says the audience looks like. Which world do you want to live in?

Leading Cross-Platform Media Campaigns with Mobile

Cross-platform campaigns are a hot topic. But what role can and does mobile play within a cross-platform media mix? As far as consumers are concerned, the year of Mobile is already upon us: 68 million unique users for the Mobile Web, and 75 million consumers using Apps according to comScore 2010 data. And yet, many advertisers have not followed suit. Certainly, mobile advertising still makes up a small percentage of the overall media mix.

So how important is it for companies to expand their cross-platform media mix to include mobile? This workshop brings together well-known media agency executives and advertisers to discuss what mobile areas they have decided to pursue, and how mobile works within a larger media mix. The discussion will include the growth of mobile, whether it’s a challenge or an opportunity, and the right mobile marketing decisions to make for your brand.

Display 2015: Sexy and Smart

The first decade of display advertising saw relatively little change, leading some observers to doubt its future. Today Google believes that display advertising is at a critical inflection point, poised to create opportunities for advertisers and publishers never before possible. We're witnessing a dramatic evolution in the way ads are bought, sold, created, optimized and measured. Focus should not be on how the industry might eke out 5 percent or 10 percent growth in the next few years, but rather how it will double or even triple in size. Neal Mohan and Barry Salzman uncover the secrets behind this display advertising revolution and look to the future, sharing why display is becoming both sexy and smart.
