I. THE REMEDY FOR BLAND HEALTHCARE MARKETING: REINTRODUCTING A PIONEERING BRAND (10:00 – 11:00AM)
People like "health" & they like "care" but not "healthcare". As an industry, healthcare is complicated, intimidating & bureaucratic. Sutter Health is empowering patients & caregivers by breaking down these industry barriers. We are re-launching our brand, dismissing tired conventions & re-framing ourselves as a $12B Northern California start-up. In this session, Mac Tillman, VP of Brand Marketing – Sutter Health, will share how Sutter Health has reintroduced itself as the custodians of remarkable promise, proudly caring for northern California, birthplace of pioneers.

Whether negotiating or implementing a media, creative agency, production, digital or public relations deal payment terms and cash flow from client to agency and even agency to third party can become difficult to manage. In this session, AAI Worldwide Group (AAI) will share important items to consider when negotiating and implementing these contracts, how to include staffing mix, how to keep the holding company accountable when there are changes in staffing or work offices, what to do when staffing savings are not passed back on to the brand, and more watchouts and items to consider.
