For the second year in a row, integrated marketing ranks as the top concern among client-side marketers, according to an ANA poll.
The development of new communications and the evolution of traditional communications have shifted power from the marketer to the consumer. This shift has created enormous opportunities, including marketers' ability to better target their customers. However, the explosion of choice has also complicated the lives and practices of marketers, creating massive challenges for effective integration. Key issues include:
optimizing the marketing mix;
integrating messages across the marketing spectrum;
managing multiple communications partners; and
measurement of the effectiveness of each medium individually and the mix as a whole.
In 1950, during a speech at an ANA conference (where else?), communications legend Leo Burnett may have introduced the concept of integrated marketing when he said, "When you are planning an advertising campaign, the people involved in the planning must be able to mentally integrate, in the thought and structure of the advertising itself, the things that should take place in the store, at the service station, in the showroom, at the ticket window, or when the salesman calls." We've been talking about integrated marketing for more than 50 years-why is it so difficult?
The ANA Integrated Marketing Conference will help provide insight and best practices for the effective management of integrated marketing.

MOTOROLA'S APPROACH TO INTEGRATED MARKETING
Eduardo Conrado is responsible for projecting a single voice through the worldwide team that has been the force behind Motorola's successful b-to-b marketing strategy - from overall branding to product and regional/channel marketing, to internal and external communications, to interactive and direct marketing. In the process, Motorola's marketing teams have been realigned around customer segments rather than business units. Mr. Conrado's role encompasses three of Motorola's four primary businesses, with revenues of more than $18 billion, home and networks mobility, government and public safety, and enterprise mobility.

BEST PRACTICES FOR MANAGING INTEGRATED MARKETING
Integrated marketing presents unique challenges for marketers, including managing multiple communication agencies, dealing with internal and external functional silos, disparate agency profit centers, and clients' desire for media neutrality. An exclusive ANA survey will provide insights regarding integrated marketing management challenges and best practices. The 2008 survey is a follow-up to work done in 2003 and 2006 and reveals the latest developments-the continued decline in the perceived value of advertising and the increased value of other disciplines, including public relations.
JOIN THE CONVERSATION There are literally millions of lively, flawed, human, passionate, influential, and authentic conversations going on around you right now. Isn't it time that you joined in? The fact remains, all the marketing communication, media, messaging, and advertising in the world can only get you so far-at worst, breaking down the door (there will be repercussions!); at best, getting a foot in the door-after which conversation takes over.
Through the power of community, dialogue, and partnership, marketing can be a conversation; a welcome guest in the homes, experiences, and lives of consumers if, and only if, certain principles, pathways, and philosophies are put into practice. Some of the questions to be addressed include:
Where does conversation fit into the integrated marketing mix?
How should it be "deployed"?
Which department should be responsible for conversation?

THE "HOW" OF DIGITAL MEDIA INTEGRATION
Successful integrated campaigns maximize and exploit the full potential of each media. Since digital technologies have revolutionized the way marketers reach consumers, integration of digital media offers great opportunity along with some peril.
This panel will address many questions of how digital media is integrated into communication plans: How is the digital function organized at client-side companies? How do they respond to the "next hot technology"? Should everyone be versed in digital? Which agencies deliver the best ideas for digital tactics? Which agency does what? What keeps digital marketers up at night?
We'll listen to a conversation of marketing experts who have provided their companies with answers.
