    8:00 am                 Networking Breakfast

    8:45 am                 Welcome and Opening Remarks 
                                   
    Bob Liodice, President & CEO, ANA

    9:00 am                 "New, Newer, Newest:  Evolving Stages of IMC"
                                    Don Schultz, President, Agora, Inc. and Professor Emeritus of 
                                    Service at Northwestern University's Medill School
                                   
    Integrated Marketing Communications has evolved through a
                                    number of stages in the past 20 years.  In this presentation, 
                                    Don Schultz, Northwestern Professor will trace the development
                                    of IMC and focus on the latest iteration, Integrating in a Push and Pull
                                    Marketplace. Schultz's remarks will be based on the findings
                                    of the Simultaneous Media Usage (SIMM) studies which have
                                    been ongoing since 2002.  The studies identify consumer media
                                    consumption, including amount of time with each media form,
                                    combinations of media forms used simultaneously, and the influence
                                    of media form on purchase decisions.  Several new models
                                    and approaches will be demonstrated that confirm that all integration
                                    must start with the consumer, not the marketer.

    11:00 am               Long Road to Conversion
                                    Adam Cane, Senior Sales Engineer, Atlas Institute,
                                    Microsoft Advertising
     
                                    Most marketers are familiar with the concept of the “purchase
                                    funnel” and campaigns today are executed to take advantage
                                    of where various sites, networks, and channels sit in both the
                                    funnel and the user experience. And while the impact of overlap
                                    has been well-documented employed, the duration of a user’s
                                    interaction with a campaign has been largely ignored. The
                                    advertising metrics and models developed for online
                                    marketers largely ignore the question of when media exposure
                                    occurs. By measuring the last ad seen or clicked by a converter,
                                    they focus entirely on a brief time span at the bottom of the funnel.
                                    With this research we expose the oversimplification in our current
                                    data, highlight the variability across sites between exposure time
                                    and conversion time, and show the implications of these discoveries
                                    on the process of planning and optimizing media.

                Navistar set a course to be “bold” and to “challenge conventional 
                thinking” in remaking their brand. This presentation will describe 
                Navistar's game-changing and bold go-to-market thinking, including 
                finding a strong new voice, doing the unexpected, investing in the Web, 
                embracing truckers as social networks and using branded 
                entertainment and automotive techniques to launch new truck 
                brands. Navistar’s bold branding moves over the past several 
                years have helped boost its market share from 15% in 2007 to 22% 
                this year.
