ANA Effective Brand Marketing Members Only Conference @ InterContinental Hotels Group

This event is over.

Building Brand and Business with Today’s Digital Customer

Today’s consumer is digitally-centered:  Lifestyle, Communication, and Media Consumption are all digitally-dependent across devices that range from smartphone to auto to appliances.  Customers fluidly move between direct response, social, scripted entertainment, and everything in between – seemingly simultaneously.  Data is ubiquitous, facilitating ubiquitous personalization across paid, owned, and earned media.  Measurement and optimization have never been more sophisticated.  This ANA members-only conference will feature sessions from leading marketers who will share their experiences, innovations, lessons learned, and strategies for building both brand and business in the digital age through content, data, influencers, marketing technology, and more.
