Understanding the Current Consumer
In the wake of the Great Recession, both the U.S. economy and the U.S. consumer have been dramatically transformed. As business looks to jump-start growth, where the consumer mindset goes consumer behavior will follow. To best understand how consumers are shopping now, marketers need to understand three core drivers:

• Communities: understanding the many ways that communities are now being defined by consumers
• Attitudes: understanding the transformed mindset of the U.S. consumer and how responsibility is integrated into their value proposition
• Technology: understanding how technology has enabled consumers to successfully navigate and thrive in the new economic realities by making responsible consumption easy to find and simple to buy

We'll discuss how Walmart is taking learnings from these three drivers and applying it to its business.

Understanding the Power of Your Brand
In today's world, where categories become more cluttered and confused, customers' needs evolve, and people's lives in general get more complicated, brands play an ever more important role in anchoring the value of companies and their products/services.

point-of-view on the world.

Esther Lee will share how AT&T has mined the powerful truth about their brand and how this truth provides an important platform for the company to engage its stakeholders-with it's marketing and beyond.

Putting the Big M in Marketing... How to Put Marketing at the Center of the Plate
In today's challenging global economy, with the consumer landscape fundamentally changing overnight, now more than ever there is the need for companies to have a sustainable business model in place that enables the big "M" in marketing to function as a key driver in an organization's growth. However many companies today are choosing to focus on the small "m" of marketing, viewing this critical business function as simply an extra cost.

Tony Palmer's presentation will concentrate on the big four marketing challenges many consumer products companies are facing today and how now is not the time to cut back on investing in brands or strategic marketing spending. Leveraging consumer industry data, supported by Kimberly-Clark's own way of marketing and brand examples, he will challenge attendees to take action within their marketing teams and organizations and remind them that the future has always been in the hands of fearless, unreasonable people.

Outperforming The Economy: 7 Lessons from A Brand Transformed During A Recession
Weight Watchers' business performance has always been reflective of consumer confidence. When Americans feel confident in the economy, the business does well. But when consumer confidence drops, few consumers want to pay weekly or monthly fees to lose weight. So how did Weight Watchers stock consistently outperform the S&P in one year - a year when the consumer confidence index was at its third-lowest level since 1952?

Our strategy was built on a few key insights into consumer behavior, chief among these was that our brand was not a corporate transaction brand but a human network one. And our consumers were inspired by the simple promise of success. Our job was to be the inspiration. Our strategy to engage our customers was then built on seven core ideas:

1. The consumer comes first, and the category second.
2. You must find a simple human truth.
3. Innovation can happen within the existing brand paradigm-change for change's sake is not a strategy.
4. Bring social media principles to traditional channels.
5. Don't allow copy testing to replace creativity and innovation.
6. Learn how to experiment forward with your agency partner.
7. Never underestimate the power of a big, transformative, idea.

Audience YOU.0: Letting People Define Themselves
We've talked for years about redefining our definitions of audiences; so now when we have the technology and the perspective to bypass traditional ways of assessing audiences and see them as people, why don't we? And why do we constantly try to put consumers in marketer-defined boxes when their digital behaviors and self-identified passions are letting us redefine audiences on their own terms, at a scale that can be bought effectively against to achieve marketing objectives? That's the focus of "Audience YOU.0," a presentation through which Mark will discuss the power of human audience definition, drawing upon data and insights from Hunch's "Taste Graph." Mark will also highlight the efforts marketers can support to make change happen for their respective businesses - letting YOU the consumer lead the way to targeted interactions and marketing success, in a world where our wealth of data leads to more creativity which can in turn drive more human data, and so on.

Sheryl Sandberg will discuss how these dynamics are changing, in a world that is built around social principles and powered by Web technologies.
