The Future of Communication
Friday, October 21, 12:15 p.m.
The shift to mobile has already happened and video is leading the way. This shift is radically changing the way businesses and people connect. In this keynote session led by Facebook’s Head of Marketing Michelle Klein, you’ll hear about the new kinds of tools and groundbreaking innovations (and let’s hope… measurement tools!) completely transforming the way we communicate.
CMO Roundtable: The Power of Women in Advertising
Friday, October 21, 2:00 p.m.
Despite the strides made in recent decades to accurately portray women and women’s issues in the media, an unconscious bias against women and girls persists in advertising, media, and programming. According to new research from the ANA’s Alliance for Family Entertainment (AFE), which studied the representation of women in the media and the impact it has on consumer behavior, if women were more accurately portrayed, consumers’ intent to purchase could increase by more than 30 percent. This session will provide a deep dive into the issues surrounding women in advertising and discuss ways that marketers can take a proactive role to ensure the visibility of women and girls in advertising is authentic and inspiring.
Moderated by the CEO and founder of The Female Quotient and The Girls’ Lounge Shelley Zalis, panelists will include executives from Best Buy, Starcom, Alliance for Family Entertainment and Unilever.
We’ll also be showcasing our interactive Future Video Lab which will show you how to make more engaging and authentic ads and how to target and distribute those ads to not only reach people, but move people.
