1. The document discusses strategies for segmenting and targeting different audience types for conferences and events. It identifies common audience segments such as "lifers", "professors", "content marketers", "ambushers", "rookies", and "window shoppers".
2. The document recommends identifying the most important audience segments to target and the channels of influence for each segment. It also discusses how experience design can improve relevance and loyalty by tailoring the content and environment to different audience mindsets and learning styles.
3. Overall, the key message is that conferences should take a segmented approach to attracting and retaining the right types of audiences through targeted messaging, programming, and experience design.
How much of a carrot are subventions when it comes to enticing international associations to choose a specific destination? Is there another side to subventions besides monetary gain for associations? Could subventions be considered part of a legacy programme of a destination with obligations to the association to give back to the local community? Let’s flip the coin and carefully examine all aspects. How can we change the perception of something with a negative connotation and turn it into added value for both the association and destination? Be inspired to find new ways of financial support and unique giving back to the community.
This week we attended the CharityComms Communications on a Shoestring conference, giving some practical advice on how charities can best tackle their communications challenges on a tight budget.
Our workshop centred on the branding process – guiding people from the development of a strong brand proposition to the creation of a ‘big idea’ that brings it all to life. And we also explored brand personality, taking a look at some key brand role models to uncover the importance of a distinct identity that engages with the world in an interesting way.
The CharityComms event resonated really well with our core values at Neo – to help some of the world’s smallest, but best voices become some of its most powerful ones. As Nick, our Managing Director explains, “Neo is all about amplifying the voices of those organisations who are doing something good and interesting in the world. That’s why we believe workshops like these are so important – helping charities who might not have the budget to clearly articulate their offer, and breathe some life into their brand.”
We really enjoyed the running the workshop, and would like to thank all those who joined us.

This “brand 101″ session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand
Many companies today strive to be “thought leaders,” but only a select few truly live up to that aspiration. Thought leadership requires a unique point of view, the ability to provide valuable information, and a layered approach to disseminating that information. For the few companies who achieve it, thought leadership is proven to drive long-term and higher-value customer relationships and increase brand affinity and loyalty.
Stacey King Gordon of Suite Seven led a workshop during LoyaltyExpo 2014 in Orlando, Florida. The workshop explored what makes a thought leader, best practices for thought leadership, and how to develop a publishing and content strategy to help companies grow into true thought leaders — helping with everything from navigating internal politics to prioritizing resources.
This “brand 101″ session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand:
- What it means to brand an organization
- How to identify what’s at the core of your organization’s brand
- How to build simple messaging frameworks that allow consistent communications of that brand
- How to help your organization “walk the walk” and deliver on the promise of your brand
Learning Objective: Assess successful mentoring techniques
Mentoring is a mutually beneficial practice that provides opportunities both for the mentor and mentee as well as paying dividends for employers. Corporations have discovered that the act of implementing strategic mentoring results in great short- and long-term value. Mentoring creates collaborations, bonds, and buy-in like no other relationship process. This seminar will help you engage in, find, and benefit from mentoring programs.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Identify strategic mentoring solutions.
b. Examine the benefit of reverse mentoring.
c. Explore successful networking strategies that connect people.
d. Examine mentoring activities and suggestions that enrich the experience.
e. Explore ways to identify and pair successful mentoring matches.
“Thought leadership is the recognition from the outside world that the company deeply understands its business, the needs of its customers and the broader marketplace in which it operates.”
Colleges That Thrive: Essential Qualities and CharacteristicsStamats
Essential qualities and characteristics of colleges and universities who will thrive amid the tumultuous times in higher education. Contact Sara.Henton@stamats.com for additional information.
For young professionals, having a mentor is often encouraged and touted; however, knowing how to find and effectively engage in such relationships is not necessarily easy or intuitive. This panel draws on primary and secondary research funded by the Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations, the expertise of an employee engagement expert, and a public relations professional with experience in both corporate and agency settings to help attendees better understand and navigate mentoring relationships. Panelists will share both personal experiences and research insights derived from a survey of more than 400 millennial PR professionals; interviews with 50+ PR professionals and students across five countries; and a review of nearly 200 mentoring studies and articles. Specific topics include best organizational and interpersonal mentoring practices, mentoring’s role in growing diverse organizations and mentoring’s connection to leadership development.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define what research tells us about mentorship’s value to PR practitioners in both the U.S. and abroad, and its link to PR leadership.
• Reflect on the different kinds of mentors (personal, academic, professional) and will learn about the importance of mentorship in growing diverse, inclusive workplaces.
• Analyze the 10 best organizational and interpersonal mentoring practices and will receive practical tips and advice for building and fostering them.
Features public relations professionals:
- Keith Burton, principle, Grayson Emmett Partners
- Dr. Diana Martinelli, professor and administrator, West Virginia University
- Alicia Thompson, managing director, Porter Novelli
Topics include: Everybody isn't your audience, target market vs. audience persona, creating an audience persona, and top tips for doing audience personas
Events Management Services Identifying Conference Objectives.
Having a very clear set of aims and objectives for your event in terms of what it is to achieve is critical for a host. It is essential that the aims and objectives of your event are defined and agreed upon at the outset.
Creating S.M.A.R.T. objectives that relate back to your organization’s purpose and goals will keep you on track throughout your entire event planning process, from venue selection to post-event survey questions.
When you have well-defined goals and objectives for your event, it becomes easier to plan events, promote them, and stick to your budget. And when you’re aligned on your goals, it comes through in our messaging, which means you’ll communicate more clearly with attendees.
This "brand 101" session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand.
Chapter 8 Messaging and Media Strategies 8-1 shpopkinkz
Chapter 8
Messaging and Media
Strategies
8-1
1. Describe characteristics of great creative
minds.
2. Contrast the roles of an agency’s
creative department and its business
managers/account executives.
3. Discuss how teams manage tensions
and promote creativity in integrated
marketing communication.
4. Evaluate your own passion for creativity.
8-2
Why Promotion Needs Creativity
• How we recognize and define creativity in marketing rests on our
understanding of the achievements of acknowledged creative geniuses
from the worlds of art, literature, music, science, and politics.
• A look at great creative minds—such as Picasso, Gandhi, Freud, Eliot,
Stravinsky, Graham, and Einstein—reveals shared sensibilities including
a strikingly exuberant self-confidence, (childlike) alertness,
unconventionality, and an obsessive commitment to their work.
• However, self-confidence at some point becomes crass self-promotion,
and an unconstrained childlike ability to see the world as forever new
eventually devolves into childish self-indulgence.
• In spite of creativity’s downside, it is essential. In today’s world, without
creativity there couldn’t be successful brand promotion.

Exhibit 8. 1 Seven Creative Geniuses
Agencies, Clients, and the Creative
Process
• The significant effort required to get the right idea, coupled with the
client’s apparent ease in dismissing that idea, underlies the
contentiousness between an agency’s creative staff and its account
executives and clients.
• Creatives provoke. Managers restrain. Ads that win awards for creative
excellence often make clients uncomfortable and it is one of the
manager’s jobs to help keep the client at ease.
• All organizations deal with the competing agendas of one department
versus another, but in advertising agencies, this competition plays out at
an amplified level.
• The difficulty of assessing the effectiveness of brand promotion only
adds to the problem. Advertising researchers are in the unenviable
position of judging the creatives, pitting “science” against art.
• In spite of these tensions, creativity is essential to the vitality of brands.
Creativity makes a brand, and creativity reinvents established brands in
new and desired ways.
8-5
Coordination, Collaboration,
and Creativity
• There are many sources of conflict and tension in the creation of
a promotional mix. Many organizations attempt to address this
challenging issue through systematic utilization of teams.
• Teams, when effectively managed, will produce outputs that are
greater than the sum of their individual parts. Individuals,
however, can still perform to their best abilities and cognitive
style while benefiting from others’ input and guidance.
• Teams need to be managed to promote creative abrasion but
limit interpersonal abrasion. They need guidance from a
maestro (like a Lee Clow) ...

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
For too many years marketing and sales have operated in silos...while in some forward thinking companies, the two organizations work together to drive new opportunity development and revenue. This session will explore the lessons learned in that beautiful dance that can occur when marketing and sales work together...to drive new opportunity development, account expansion and customer satisfaction.
No, this is not a conversation about MQLs and SQLs. Instead we will focus on a framework that allows the two organizations to drive company success together.

Financial curveballs sent many American families reeling in 2023. Household budgets were squeezed by rising interest rates, surging prices on everyday goods, and a stagnating housing market. Consumers were feeling strapped. That sentiment, however, appears to be waning. The question is, to what extent?
To take the pulse of consumers’ feelings about their financial well-being ahead of a highly anticipated election, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey. The survey highlights consumers’ hopes and anxieties as we move into 2024. Let's unpack the key findings to gain insights about where we stand.
