Panel Discussion: Mass Media vs Personalization: Striking The Right Balance

From traditional linear TV to individual influencers, to niche social networks, there is no shortage of viable media outlets to serve as your brand’s platform in the constant battle to connect with consumers, some with vast audiences and wide reach, others with small, highly curated users. What it often comes down is Awareness vs Relevance, understanding which platform will achieve which objective, and striking the right balance between the two. This session will dive into the oft-conflicting goals of generating wide scale Brand Awareness with personalization and building one-on-one consumer relationships. What are the media and digital tool sets needed to make the most out of your budget? What are the data strategies that will ensure you’re taking the right approach and messaging to the appropriate platforms with the customers you actually want to target? And how close are we to achieving the ever-elusive holy grail of “personalization at scale?”

Panel Discussion: Sensory Stimulation & The Future of Brand Experience

While many marketers are embracing new digital tools and emerging media to reach their consumers, there’s simply no replacement for the “IRL” experience, that is, contextually connecting with real people in the real world and allowing your customers to touch, smell, see, hear, and taste your brand. Hear from some of today’s top experiential marketers and learn how they’ve translated their brands and products into unique, memorable experiences that stimulate the senses, and how they leverage new technologies to take those experiences to the next level.
