CORPORATE TRADE: TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE MODEL
Corporate trade remains an often misunderstood business model. Even for those who have successfully integrated it into their organization, there's often some mystery about how it works and why it can deliver value. In the past, most explanations focused solely on benefits to the CFO. This luncheon keynote will touch upon those considerations but will also show how marketers and procurement executives can implement and benefit from corporate trade. The session will explain the key mechanics, when it works best, share some case studies and show why corporate trade is more relevant than ever.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS & THE FINANCIAL INTERESTS OF ADVERTISERS
There are a number of potential government legislative and regulatory initiatives that could seriously impact the financial interests of advertisers. In the political arena, the stakes for the bottom line of the advertising community continue to escalate, including a substantially increased threat of federal and state ad taxes in this time of record deficits. On the privacy front, in response to requests from the FTC, the advertising industry recently launched the Self Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. This program is designed to provide protection for consumers' legitimate privacy concerns, while allowing efficient and effective advertising on the Internet. These and other government relation issues that could impact advertisers will be discussed.

3M's WIN / WIN / WIN!
Can "value" in creative execution be quantified? Can supplier management and brand management teams not only co-exist, but innovate through one another?

Yes. Yes. Yes. And, YES! Learn how 3M supplier management and brand management teams partnered with their external creative partners to turn the tide overnight, revamping its brand identity system, resulting not only in a lightning fast global roll-out and execution, but in solid business growth for all involved.

• 1B. PRINCIPLES OF FAIR AGENCY COMPENSATION (1:45 - 2:45pm)

  Almost a decade ago, the 4A'S and ANA partnered on development of agency compensation best practice guidance. The principles that were developed have withstood the test of time and are still very relevant today. However, given the changes in the industry over the past decade it may be time to supplement the earlier compensation guidance. Members of the 4A's Finance Committee will review proven principles of fair compensation and suggest new supplemental guidance.

EMBRACING COST CONTROLS AND THRIVING
While many in the marketing industry argue that cost-consciousness and efficiency cannot coexist with creativity, Kodak and its lead creative agency, Partners + Napier, worked together to streamline costs - actually improving creative output while increasing ROI. The process began when Kodak requested that Partners + Napier participate in the Kodak supplier certification process. To become certified, a supplier must consistently exceed Kodak's expectations in the areas of quality, on-time delivery, lead time and productivity. The certification requires documenting, assessing and improving every step of the creative process. This presentation will discuss:

• Some surprising inefficiencies the agency discovered during the certification process
• How improved process has created more time for strategy and idea generation
• How agencies and clients can work together to produce great work and still increase productivity and eliminate costs
• The importance of process improvement by the entire team - both agency and client

A creative agency embracing cost-cutting may be unusual, but it might also be the new model for how marketers and their agencies can improve their working relationships while adhering to the strict demands of CFOs and procurement.

DDS last year processed more than $80 billion of media spend and is therefore in a unique position to comment on this opportunity for today's global, multichannel media ecosystem.
