I. PLAYING WELL IN EACH OTHER'S SANDBOXES: GENERATING BLOGGERS' ADVOCACY THROUGH COLLABORATION (9:45-10:45)
Jory Des Jardins, Co-Founder and President of Strategic Alliances of BlogHer, the women's blogging community, will present on how bloggers perceive and respond to brand messaging and advertising and how a coordinated, unified effort by cross-functional groups (PR, Agencies, and Advertisers) can provide the best results. Using previous case studies and data from their most recent third-party research on bloggers' habits and influence, she'll discuss best practices in measurement, outreach and such new practices as sponsored user-generated content and advisory boards.
Speaker: Jory Des Jardins, President, BlogHer
II. LEE JEANS/ARNOLD CASE STUDY (11:05am - 12pm)
Liz Cahill, of Lee Jeans teams with Arnold to provide an inside look into a client/agency relationship. They will share insights on "dating", the engagement" and "the marriage". From lessons learned to adapting as needs change, this discussion will give an honest look at how to make the relationship work for both sides. They will also cover managing the agency relationship efficiently, dealing with issues and setting up clear goals for success.
Speakers: Liz Cahill, VP, Marketing, Lee Jeans
Lynn Power, EVP, Client Services, Arnold
II. WHAT MAKES A GREAT CLIENT? (1-1:45)
While good work can be done for great clients and bad clients alike, the great clients tend get better work, more consistently. That can be a significant advantage for those brands over time. Whether they are starting with better insights and better strategies, evaluating better concepts, or getting better executions, great clients seem get more work that delivers for them and their brands. And while there is no formula for what makes a great client, there are a number of practices that have been observed over the years that have made both the process and the work better.
Speaker: Ryan Hose, VP, Creative Director, Y&R New York
III. OPEN DISCUSSION (until 2:30)

• How must your agency change in order to maximize effectiveness of your integrated communications programs?
• Does an agency holding company model make developing integrated communications easier?
