II. UPDATE: MAKING MEASUREMENT MAKE SENSE (3MS) (11:15AM-12:15PM)
The Cross Platform Measurement initiative, Making Measurement Make Sense (3MS) was launched in 2011 by the ANA, IAB and the 4A's in order to develop digital metrics and advertising currency that facilitate the cross-platform measurement and evaluation of media. The lack of consistent approach to measuring and assessing the effects of digital media has resulted in a cacophony of competing and contradictory measurement systems, contributing to a complex and costly supply chain for the industry. In this session, George Ivie, Executive Director – Media Rating Council will update the Committee on the current status of the Making Measurement Make Sense (3MS) initiative.

Speaker:
George Ivie, Executive Director – Media Rating Council

III. SONY/COLUMBIA RECORDS: ENHANCING AND QUANTIFYING YOUR CONTENT WITH MUSIC (12:45-1:45PM)
"Every time a brand uses music — in marketing, sales or in a PR context, regardless of the music, genre, style, artist, or channel through which it is played, the music is influencing a customer's perception about the brand. It is effectively creating an asset or liability for its overall brand equity." — Ruth Simmons and Rachel Simmons, Sound Branding Consultants

From Madonna to Lady Gaga, leading brand marketers understand the power that music has on consumer behavior and the influence that artists have over their fans. For decades, savvy brand marketers have used music to build emotional connections with their consumers and align themselves with popular artists. Hear how today's brand marketers are using and measuring music to enhance their content, drive awareness and good will, and differentiate themselves in the digital world.
