ANA Integrated Marketing Members-Only Conference @ Joe Gibbs Racing

This event is over.

Integrated Marketing is a seemingly simple term for what has become a complex and absolutely critical component of a brand’s marketing strategy. The development of new communications tactics, tools, and channels, and the inevitable evolution of traditional media, have shifted power from the marketer to the consumer. Today’s consumer demands omnichannel solutions, seamless experiences, and engagement on their own terms. Marketers who can effectively navigate this evolving landscape to create a cohesive customer experience - when they want it, where they want it – have a distinct competitive advantage.

Hosted by Joe Gibbs Racing in Huntersville, NC, join us for a fun and informative day that will showcase leading client-side marketers who have elevated their integrated efforts and created seamless experiences for their consumers in marketing communications, creative campaigns, content development, integrated partnerships, and more. You’ll also enjoy ample time to network, connect, share, and learn from your marketing peers. 

Parking is available on Lindley Drive (behind the shop) or Julian Clark (to the side of the shop). Please park in the direction of travel.

Immediately following the event, please join us for a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the Joe Gibbs Racing facility, where the cars raced by Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones are hand-built and housed.

BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS: HOW MAILCHIMP DOES BRAND MARKETING

For most companies, building a successful brand requires listening to what made you successful in the first place: your instincts. In 2017, MailChimp set out to do just that with its "Did You Mean MailChimp?" campaign. As a company that has built itself on enabling small businesses to grow without compromise, MailChimp set out to show that it practices what it preaches: being creative and true to yourself is good for business. Instead of the expected brand campaign, “Did You Mean MailChimp?” created an entire ecosystem of artful and playful experiences for people to engage with. The campaign brought the MailChimp brand to new audiences around the world and was the recipient of a 2017 Cannes Lions Cyber Grand Prix. In this session, learn how experiential marketing can be used to surprise and delight customers and help grow your brand; how a well-defined brand purpose can strengthen your marketing content; and some practices for measuring the success of brand content.

HOW EXTENDED STAY AMERICA USED THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY TRAVELER TO DRIVE OCCUPANCY

For most brands in the extended stay hotel segment, the holiday season traditionally brings a decrease in occupancy—resulting in lower revenue at a time when every dollar counts for 4th quarter reporting. Many companies respond by slashing room rates and cutting back on their marketing efforts, saving their budget and big campaigns for “high season”. In this session, you will learn how Extended Stay America joined forces with Cherry Hill Programs in a barter agreement to house hundreds of Santas across the country in exchange for marketing rights as “Santa’s Favorite Hotel”. Through creative messaging, nostalgic imagery, engaging social media content, and a $100,000 budget, see how ESA reaches millions of consumers for outstanding results in incremental revenue at year end.
