If it feels like the giants of the web — Facebook, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, et al — are conspiring against you to make it vastly more difficult to spread your message or amplify your content… You’re right! They are. In this presentation Rand will boil down exactly why that’s happening and what smart marketers can do to build creative advantages and avoid these emerging pitfalls.
| 6 Seconds or Bust: Mastering Short-Form Storytelling and Micro-Content |
Megan Toth, Senior Social Media Lead, NBCUniversal
In today’s world, we only have between 3-6 seconds to capture someone’s attention and tell a story. What message are you trying to convey? Are you promoting the premiere date of a new TV series or cast of a movie? Are you a brand offering a new product? It’s not enough to simply post a 60- or 30-second movie trailer or other pieces of content directly to social media. It needs to be optimized for the social platform – think format and audience. When you have six seconds to convey your message, every second counts. Creating “snackable content”, is no longer optional in our mobile-driven world and doing it successfully is an art.
| The Five Blessings from Customer Privacy |
Tim Hayden, President & Co-Managing Partner, Brain+Trust Partners
In January of 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act will go into effect and change marketing forever.

The struggle is real in dealing with media and data volatility, but there’s no challenge that can’t be leveraged for greater marketing success. Let’s discuss five ways how you can be a compliant, lean and productive content marketer by the end of 2019.

Laura-Ann Mitchell, Director of Digital, Cisco
What does the road from bridging the gap to building the bridge look like for B2B brands today?

With the deluge of marketing tools, data insights and customer data platforms we as marketers are now more equipped than ever to proactively anticipate and respond to customer needs. Yet we continue to miss the mark and customers are less enthused. Cisco will share its strategy (people, process, tools) & two case studies that show why getting back to basics is still effectively landing new prospects and nurturing existing relationships for demand and lead generation. The output will be a winning recipe for leveraging data from SEO, Social, and Customer Data Platforms to drive engagement & conversion.

| How to Inject Creativity into Your Digital Marketing Strategy |
Beverley D’Cruz , Chief Marketing Officer – UK, Pizza Hut
Brands today have a matter of seconds to capture the attention of customers – who are more cynical than ever before. With time-frames getting shorter and screens getting smaller, brands are looking for creative strategies which engage audiences. However, creativity is often separated from digital strategy. Digital can be overlooked as a world of metrics and short-term thinking. Even though digital is highly measurable, this does not mean it should lack creative. In this session, Beverley D’Cruz, CMO at Pizza Hut UK, explains how to inject creativity into your digital marketing strategy.

| Do You Even Lift? Incrementality & Lift Testing Explained |
Teresa Lewis, Sr. Consultant, Advanced Measurement Services, Adobe
Are my ads causing incremental actions to be taken? This is the key question we’d like our media measurement to address. However, a lion’s share of solutions are still based off correlation and cannot prove that your ad caused the action or if you took credit for an action that would have occurred regardless of advertising. Lift testing is the solution to help you escape the biases of correlated based methods, allowing you to fully understand if your ads are causing incremental actions to be taken. Learn more about lift testing, common pitfalls to avoid and how you can get started.
