Session I. Designing a Multi-Dimensional Creator Strategy (11:10am - 11:45am)
The creator economy grew exponentially over the past few years and shows no signs of slowing down. Creators make ideas, trends, songs, or products go mainstream overnight, and they're a driving force behind the social commerce boom. In this session with Principal Analyst, Kelsey Chickering, discover how to develop a multi-dimensional creator strategy to compete for attention in an increasingly creator-led world. 

Speaker:
Kelsey Chickering
, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research Inc.

Session II. Engaging the Hard-to-Reach Generation: How Planet Fitness' High School Summer Pass® Connects with Today's Teens 
(11:45am - 12:20pm)
Summer is supposed to be an epic season for teens but too often it consists of 'bed rot,' binge-watching TV series, and endless scrolling that fuels insecurities. Planet Fitness understood the assignment—meet teens where they are, show up on the channels they spend their summers on, with enticing content that creates confidence to sign up for our one of a kind program: High School Summer Pass®, a free summer membership for teens. But how do you reach an audience that actively blocks out advertising? The resulting ad campaign was disguised as a teen drama that mimicked a series that teens would binge all summer long. It was a major slay, resulting in strong earned impressions, engagement, and +3M sign-ups.

Speakers:
Haley Brantingham, Brand Director, BarkleyOKRP
Kellen Millard, Director of Integrated Marketing, Planet Fitness
Molly Smith, VP of Strategy, BarkleyOKRP

Session III. REGGIE B2B AWARD WINNER – Eaton and Jack Morton: Tales From The Next Frontier (12:20pm - 12:55pm)
After acquiring a major competitor, Eaton’s portfolio of IT infrastructure products – and its audience – both grew dramatically. How did Eaton build brand familiarity, advocacy, and intent among new prospects and customers? By transforming its CRM B2B content into epic feats of technological and problem-solving mastery.

Eaton's Tales from The Next Frontier was a storytelling experience that transformed real-world case studies into fantastical, illustrated tales. The campaign cemented Eaton’s reputation as the solutions provider who “gets IT”, and smashed industry benchmarks. We’ll share tips on how to build brand familiarity after a large acquisition and use audience insights to generate excitement through CRM content.

Speakers:
Mike R. DeCamp,
Senior Marketing Communications Manager, Eaton
Marissa Canning,
Senior Strategist, Jack Morton
