INTRODUCTIONS (9:00 – 9:15)


I. BLUE BUNNY: BUILDING INTEGRATION ON A CHALLENGER BRAND BUDGET (9:15-10:15AM)
How does a brand create integration on a challenger brand budget?  Combined, Nestle and Unilever outspend Blue Bunny by more than a $100 million each year.  Yet Blue Bunny has continued to outperform the category and mega brands year and after year.  Blue Bunny has developed a process, which truly revolutionizes how partner agencies work together to build break-through communication plans.  Learn their secrets, which we promise, will deliver better-integrated plans developed through agencies truly working together in collaboration in strategy, ideas, and execution.

II. CAN'T BUY ME LIKE: HOW AUTHENTIC CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS DRIVE SUPERIOR RESULTS (10:30-11:30AM)
Today's brands face an apparent choice between two evils: continuing to slash their increasingly ineffective advertising, or putting blind faith in the supposedly mystical power of social media, where "likes" stand in for transactions and a mass audience is maddeningly elusive. There has to be a better way... As Lennon and McCartney wrote a half century ago, money can't buy you love. But in today's world where people have become desensitized – even disillusioned – by ad campaigns and marketing slogans, that maxim is even truer: Money can't even buy you like. That's because we've entered the "Relationship Era" where the only path for businesses seeking long-term success is to create authentic customer relationships. Discover powerful new research, fascinating examples, and practical advice to illustrate how any company can thrive in the "Relationship Era".

Speaker:
Doug Levy, Chief Executive Officer– MEplusYOU and Co-Author of Can't Buy Me Like
