5. The Death of Who: The Birth of Me
Dan Monteith, Global Provocation Director – Brand
& Tim Leonard, Brand Provocator at Elmwood
We are living in a period of unparalleled change, in a world of
where barriers are being torn down, traditional roles are being
challenged and people are no longer defined by age, gender or
location – welcome to the post demographic era.
Elmwood will take a look at the changing face of demographics and
how smart brands are responding and rethinking the very meaning
of targeting.
Trust me – I’m a brand
Carol Smith, Director of Brand Engagement at WRG
In this session we will be sharing why trust today should continue to
be at the top of the brand engagement agenda and how it – or
perceptions of it – has evolved. We’ll look at trends on who
consumers trust first, how organisations can respond and the power
of ‘Inside out’ branding.
The Dating Game: The importance of brand
seduction in the age of information
Nicola Carey, Head of Strategy & Planning at Jaywing
This session will take a closer look at why we have to stop seeing
‘head and heart’ and ‘maths and mad’ as conflicting forces. Nicola
will examine why data optimisation and technology needs to work
together with brand myths and storytelling to ultimately drive
customer value and profitability, and how as marketers, we can’t
forget the things we learned about people’s relationships with
brands in the ‘age of broadcast’ – as we move into the ‘age of
information’.
Brand Protection Online: What every brand needs
to know & how to react quickly to negative
information
Caroline Skipsey, Managing Partner at Igniyte
Over the past five years, all brands have been finding and
engaging with their audiences on social media and wherever
they’re gathered online to grow their presence. At the same time,
Google and other search engines have developed their algorithms
so that third-party websites, forums and press articles rank highly
for brand names. Brands now face issues with these articles and
sites ranking highly when they’re not always positive. In this
session, Caroline will be discussing how to react quickly to
negative content online and how to portray your brand positively.
The art of brand engagement and social listening
Tim Sinclair, Managing Director at Wolfstar
& Sam Oakley, Co-Founder at Stashmetrics
This session will examine and challenge the perceptions around
‘what is truly effective in brand engagement’ from a strategic and
tactical position. If we assume that brand engagement is the
process of providing branded communications and experiences
that add value to consumers’ lives and that nourish relationships
between them and the brand in all its guises – then we will be on
our way.
In the second part of the session, Sam takes a look at how the way
you listen to social media can affect the kind of engagement that
happens around branded content. He will also examine the
importance of context in social listening and how brands can
apply some of these techniques to deliver more actionable
measurement.
