  • “Best way to meet other professionals in the industry and discuss real world examples and processes to improve everyone.”
  • “It’s a one-of-a-kind event that provides a great opportunity to meet peers, network, and benchmark."

AGENCY RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

The agency relationship management process is a central tool in building sustainable client/agency partnerships, yet relatively few companies do it well. Many either underestimate the importance or make the process overly complicated. But agency relationship management can be streamlined and easily implemented. It doesn’t necessarily need to be high-tech and sexy! It’s really about driving solid communication and problem-solving in a constructive environment. And a proper agency management process can save the time and costs of reviewing agencies too often. Please join this Sunday afternoon session to arm yourself with ideas to improve your client/agency relationship.

CMO KEYNOTE: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT FOR MARKETING AND PROCUREMENT TO WORK TOGETHER

At Nationwide Insurance, the procurement and marketing teams work hand in hand. But, it wasn't always like that.  With a new procurement partner came new processes, tools, experiences, and style, leading to increasing levels of influence, trust, and credibility. Through two-way communication, the two teams were able to better understand the brand teams' priorities, needs, and pain points, leading to increased efficiency and effectiveness. The teamwork of procurement and marketing was able to reduce agency fees by 7 percent year-over-year since 2011 while building the “Join the Nation” campaign that lifted total unaided awareness by 28 percent.

FINANCE AND MARKETING WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE VALUE

This session will feature a duo from a major marketer to demonstrate how finance and marketing can work together to use measurement to create value. Key to this is the partnering of finance and marketing in planning and execution. Specific examples relating to resource allocation and marketing effectiveness will be discussed. Principles endorsed by the Marketing Accountability Standards Board (MASB) will be shared. MASB is looking to bring predictability and accountability to marketing and was formed to set the standards for applying the science of measurement and process management to the art of marketing.

AGENCY SELECTION BRIEFING GUIDANCE

ANA and the 4A’s believe there is an opportunity to improve the productivity of the agency search/new business process, for both agencies and advertisers, and have developed specific best practices guidance around the subject of agency selection briefing. Every phase of a review requires a thoughtful briefing that provides specific direction to the agency. The review process should provide escalating information to the agencies as the review progresses from the initial phases (e.g., RFI, RFP, credentials) to the later phases (including any strategic and/or speculative work and finals presentations). Agency selection is an important strategic decision, and briefings matter. Best-practice agency selection briefings enhance the likelihood of selecting an appropriate and culturally compatible marketing partner. Members of the task force from the ANA and the 4A's who developed this guidance will lead this discussion.

The Evolution of Value Based Compensation

The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) is an industry leader in the area of agency compensation.  They introduced its approach to value based compensation (VBC) in 2008, to deliver "best work" for "best value." Today, The Coca-Cola Company implements value based compensation in 60+ markets around the world, with both creative and media agencies.  Built on the belief that the amount of labor should not define value, TCCC value based compensation approach is comprised of tools and guidance to enable teams to fairly define and reward the value of the work, not the time/hours to deliver it.  During this session, TCCC will share value based compensation 3.0, which showcases the evolution of value based compensation to support the company's “Liquid & Linked” strategy for delivering integrated marketing communications programs around the world.

THE LAW AND THE FINANCIAL BOTTOM LINE

There are several major legal and regulatory issues that could significantly affect the bottom line of the marketing community. Patent trolls, according to one estimate, cost American businesses $30 billion a year. Piracy websites often carry ads from national advertisers that run adjacent to content that violates copyright laws. Both privacy issues and ad taxes remain serious threats. In this session the head of ANA’s Washington, D.C. office will outline the critical issues facing the industry and suggest ideas to take back home to safeguard your company.

OPTIMIZING THE PROCUREMENT/MARKETING RELATIONSHIP

New research from the ANA Procurement Task Force examines the relationship between procurement and marketing and the factors that lead to the strongest internal partnerships and business results. We surveyed both procurement and marketing to identify:

  • Attributes which correlate with having a strong relationship between marketing and marketing procurement
  • The success metrics indicative of close working relationships
  • Tangible steps for both procurement and marketing to consider taking to enhance their working relationship
  • Key characteristics of an ideal marketing procurement professional

You’ll leave this session with actionable ideas on how to optimize collaboration between marketing and marketing procurement.

The Stage Is Set For Data-Driven Content Marketing

There are two distinct camps emerging among digital marketing futurists. One has a focus on content marketing, while the other emphasizes programmatic advertising. The future of customer-centric marketing and advertising resides squarely where content, advertising, and data analytics intersect. If brought together correctly, the amalgamation would provide laser-focused advertising with personalized and compelling experiences. In this session, the two sides of the story (Content represented by Robert Rose, Chief Strategist, Content Marketing Institute, and Data represented by Ryan DeShazer, Managing Director, inVentiv Media 360) will join Mr. Rooke in sharing their vision of Data-Driven Content Marketing and the hyper-relevance it has to the consumer, from advertising through the experience.

4A’s PERSPECTIVE ON CONFLICTS

According to the 4A’s, traditional conflict policies applied to agencies need to change. Industry dynamics are evolving — client/agency engagements are shorter, there are more agencies on a client roster (including more specialist/niche agencies), and there is a trend toward more project assignments. Meanwhile, emerging markets are becoming more important than ever, especially for Fortune 500 clients. Why are client conflict policies for agencies different than the policies for other client advisers, such as consultants, attorneys, or accountants? The operative question in an interconnected marketing ecosystem should be, “Is it a conflict, or is the marketer leveraging category expertise, proven servicing experience, and efficiencies of scale?”

ADVERTISING’S TRANSPARENCY CRISIS

There have been increasing concerns about the issue of media and media agency transparency (i.e., media sellers and agencies providing honesty and clarity to marketers on costs, placements, and data). In this “super session” the issue of transparency will be examined from multiple perspectives – industry trade associations, respected consultants, and client-side procurement.

A. The Global Industry Debate on Transparency
It’s something of an understatement to say that “transparency” is a cause of frustration between client and agency. It’s a multi-faceted problem with pressure points at every stage of the industry. It’s not just a money matter, nor is it something that clever contracts or a great client-agency relationship can fix alone. There are important considerations within the marketplace that clients need to be aware of, and those can vary market to market. Three advertiser associations from around the world will share new research and their members’ perspectives on how the transparency debate is evolving in major markets, what marketers should look out for, and what issues the industry should actually be debating to move this forward.

B. Media Transparency Issues and the Role of Media Procurement
It's a fact  ANA has heard more concerns about media transparency in the past year than at any other point in memory. The industry is facing a transparency crisis. This panel will feature:

  • Results from a new ANA survey on client-side marketer attitudes on the issues that have contributed most to concerns about transparency between clients and media agencies;
  • Insight from two industry consultants on the specific transparency red flags, and the actions that marketers can take to protect their interests;
  • Perspective from a client-side media procurement professional on the important role media procurement can play to help safeguard and enhance what is likely the biggest marketing expenditure for most clients.
