Brand Growth: From Promise to Performance

Companies have dedicated hours and resources to articulate their purpose, hammering out their values and their reasons for existing. This purpose can fuel implicit and explicit promises in the marketplace. But when it comes to real impact, these promises often don’t always translate into action. Delivering measurable results, or delivering on those promises, means aligning to performance. The real art lies not only in keeping promises, but also in deciding what promises to make. This talk will discuss new roles for design in calibrating promise to perform.

Ariadna Navarro, Partner, Executive Director of Strategy, VSA Partners

How the changing media funnel will impact the 2018 holiday shopping season

With traditional TV declining and eyeballs shifting to other media channels, the purchase funnel as we know it is changing. The way we discover, research, and eventually purchase products is fundamentally different than it was from even a few years ago, and as we approach the 2018 holiday shopping season, it’s critical that advertisers have a strategy in place to capitalize. In this talk, OpenX Chief Brand Officer Dallas Lawrence will present new research of over 2,000 consumers, highlighting the changing media landscape and what it means for advertisers.
