KELLOGG WINS WITH A TOTAL MARKET STRATEGY
Despite a rich heritage in Latin America, Kellogg realized this alone was no guarantee it would win its fair share of the U.S. Hispanic market and therefore a more comprehensive marketing solution was required.  Brad Davidson, president, Kellogg North America, will share the ups and downs in their journey to rally the entire organization behind the Hispanic growth opportunity.   He will share how Kellogg has integrated Hispanic into every step of their business planning process to drive sales across their portfolio of brands.  Mr. Davidson will be interviewed by ANA president and chief executive officer, Bob Liodice.

DEBATE: CROSS-CULTURAL VS. MULTICULTURAL MARKETING
Cross-cultural marketing is aimed across demographic groups to appeal to consumer similarities rather than differences. By contrast, traditional multicultural marketing is directed at specific demographic groups like Hispanics, African-Americans, and Asian-Americans.  This session will debate the value of cross-cultural marketing compared with traditional multicultural marketing.

MULTICULTURAL AGENCY SEARCH
There are many unique considerations for conducting a search for a multicultural, rather than general market, agency.  Media/production spending allocation, agency compensation, general agency collaboration experience, and scope of work expectations all have nuances for multicultural agency relationships.  This session will address the particular sensitivities of multicultural agency search.

LEVERAGING THE POWER OF OUR DIFFERENCES
Diversity is a constant on the agenda for PricewaterhouseCoopers--better known as PwC--and the firm continues to accelerate its efforts in growing and sustaining an inclusive workplace. PwC has a number of initiatives designed to attract, retain, and advance talented, diverse professionals. Notably, the firm's chief diversity officer has a permanent home at the leadership table, and the position rotates every two to three years to foster new thinking and perspectives for the benefit of all PwC clients, staff, and stakeholders. In April, PwC was recognized as #1 on DiversityInc magazine's Top 50 Companies for Diversity.  PwC’s philosophy of rotating its chief diversity officer was called “a critical best practice that has propelled PwC to the top” by DiversityInc. This session will be an intimate one-on-one discussion between PwC’s former chief diversity officer and ANA president and chief executive officer.

DEBATE: UNBUNDLING VS. CENTRALIZING MULTICULTURAL CREATIVE AND MEDIA
Unbundling creative and media has been a reality in the general market for more than 20 years. Such unbundling is now happening in the multicultural world, with creative handled by multicultural agency specialists and media unbundled to larger general market media agencies. While there may be potential efficiencies with unbundling, is that also hurting the quality of the work?

WALMART’S MULTICULTURAL JOURNEY: ONE YEAR LATER
Walmart made a bold and innovative move when it announced plans to decentralize its multicultural marketing group and instead turn everyone in the marketing department into a multicultural marketer.  With estimates that 100 percent of growth in the retail business over the next five years will come from Hispanic, African-American, and Asian customers, Walmart believes that multicultural marketing is truly everyone’s responsibility.  In this session Walmart will discuss the challenges and successes they have encountered on the journey of making multicultural a priority across the entire company.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BEAUTY
L’Oreal has long recognized that there is no single standard of beauty. Back in 1973, they saluted the new sense of empowerment of women when they introduced the tagline “Because I’m Worth It.”

In this session, L’Oreal will talk about its mission of offering beauty for all to meet the infinite diversity of beauty needs and desires in the U.S. and all over the world. Agency partner McCann, the Truth Well Told agency for over 100 years, will share insights from a recent global study “The Truth About Beauty” with an emphasis on the Hispanic, African-American and Asian segments. Together they will discuss: What really matters to beauty consumers today and tomorrow? Who sets the standards for beauty? What must one do to truly look beautiful? What does feeling beautiful mean?

HOW AT&T EMPLOYS A 360-DEGREE APPROACH TO ITS MULTICULTURAL MARKETING
AT&T is a pioneer company that has embraced multicultural marketing for quite some time.  In fact, they were on the agenda at the first-ever ANA Multicultural Marketing Conference back in 1999.  Under the continued direction of Roberto Garcia, AT&T has sustained its leadership in the marketplace, but the platforms have changed as today’s 360-degree environment has the company employing traditional media, online, mobile, music, and more for its multicultural marketing programs. Relevant advertising, promotions, and three-screen content (for TV, internet, and mobile devices) have been developed with multicultural consumers in mind.  For example, AT&T has collaborated with various Latin music icons integrating the power of music in national ad campaigns, consumer engagement events, and offering exclusive content to establish a strong emotional connection with Hispanic consumers.

ALLSTATE INSURANCE AND JOHNSON & JOHNSON CREATE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS WITH THE LGBT COMMUNITY
This session will showcase two brands that are successfully marketing to the LGBT segment. Allstate Insurance Company will discuss the business opportunity and challenge of meaningfully engaging the LGBT community.  Allstate and Leo Burnett will share the consumer insight they leveraged to create the “Equality Is” campaign, a fully integrated social engagement platform executed across multiple media and sponsorships.  Johnson & Johnson will also share how they built a business case from within and got several brand managers to commit to the “Care with Pride™” campaign by educating them about the LGBT segment, and then creating an internal sponsorship tier system that gave the brands a way to get involved and maximize their budget dollars. The campaign also gave $1 for each coupon redeemed to support PFLAG and their anti-bullying initiatives.  You will hear what they’ve learned, what to avoid, and how to engage and make your products and services the “brand of choice” with this audience.

HEALTHCARE & MULTICULTURAL CONSUMERS
Multicultural segments – particularly Hispanics, African-Americans, and LGBT – have unique health care challenges.  Today’s consumers are hungry for accurate, helpful, relevant, and customized information to help them make good healthcare decisions for themselves and their families. Adding to the complexity are macro dynamics like healthcare reform, stricter FDA guidelines, healthcare professional shortages, and a rise in the number of patients entering the healthcare system.  This deep dive will uncover ways that the healthcare marketing industry can evolve to meet the needs of multicultural communities in a way that benefits both the consumer and the healthcare industry as a whole.  We expect this to be a highly interactive session, and will encourage attendees to contribute to the dialogue and learning.
