NETWORKING BREAKFAST (9:00 – 9:30)

INTRODUCTIONS (9:30 – 9:45)

I. HOW WE GET AN ECONOMIC "WIN-WIN" BY PARTICIPATING IN THE AGENCY TRANSFORMATION (9:45-10:45AM)
There are few who will disagree that there's a lot of room to improve the client-agency dynamic. One such focus area for improvement is the cost of agency services relative to the value the agency creates. During this session, David Kohl, Advertising Sector Leader – Ernst & Youngwill lead us through an open dialog to identify ways in which agencies can improve this cost-to-value ratio, with a focus on plotting what your agency does for you against an index of "commodity" to "rocket science" services. This session will be highly interactive and will focus on how clients can enable the operating-model changes necessary so that both agency and advertiser engage in a healthier economic relationship.

Speaker:
David Kohl, Advertising Sector Leader – Ernst & Young

LUNCH (11:45AM-12:30PM)


III. UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGENCY-OWNED & INDEPENDENT CORPORATE TRADE (BARTER) COMPANIES (12:30-1:30PM)
Corporate trade (barter) has evolved from being a "last resort for excess inventory" into a tool that's being integrated into business operations at a strategic level. This shift is based on a business environment that demands more efficiency and a marketplace which has seen agency-owned barter companies join the space. However, independently owned trade companies operate in a much different manner than those of holding companies. These differences greatly impact the value a company receives, the amount of trade credits that can realistically be used and ultimately, the value realized from a corporate trade/barter program.

In this discussion, Kevin Farkas, Executive Vice President, Sales and Business Development – Active International and Robert Pankuck, SVP Managing Director– Active International will outline the differences between the two models and what to consider when selecting a partner including case studies of how media providers and corporate clients have benefited.
