INTRODUCTIONS (9:30 – 9:45AM)


I. PLS FINANCIAL: LOCATION-BASED DIGITAL STRATEGY (9:45 – 10:30AM)
PLS Financial is one of America's most successful and fastest-growing consumer financial services retailers. Headquartered in Chicago, PLS Financial operates or manages more than 350 retail locations in markets that span the U.S. from California to New York. Think all location-based strategy is the same? Think again. In this session, Jeff Dillon, Director of Marketing & Digital Products at PLS Financial Services, will share what geotemporal and geospatial data is and how PLS Financial has been turning it into actionable insights about their customers' behavior and media performance metrics, across mobile and out-of-home media, ultimately attributable to retail store visitation.

III. PROGRAMMATIC – SEEING THROUGH THE FINANCIAL FOG (11:30 – 12:00PM)
With the rapid adoption of programmatic media, the supply chain has quickly become complicated — agencies, trading desks, demand-side platforms, supply-side platforms, data management platforms, exchanges, publishers — and to many, the result is a financial "fog." ANA, ACA (Association of Canadian Advertisers), AD/FIN Solutions, and Ebiquity PLC commissioned a study to investigate the costs and economics of the programmatic ecosystem and explore the lack of transactional transparency in many programmatic buys. This was reported by multiple advertisers and highlighted in last year's K2 Intelligence study on media transparency in the U.S. advertising industry. In this session, we will reveal key findings from this programmatic study and provide action steps for marketers.

Speaker:
Andrew Altersohn, Chief Executive Officer – AD/FIN Solutions (via phone)


LUNCH (12:00 – 12:30PM)

Attendees will learn how to plan for the constantly changing field and how to leverage cutting-edge information on the use of data, technology, and measurement to execute successful marketing campaigns.
