III. BEHIND COOPER TIRE'S HYBRID IN-HOUSE STRATEGY (11:30am – 12:10pm ET)
For years, Cooper Tire relied on its agency to own and manage media, from owning tech contracts to executing the buys. In 2019, a series of events inspired Cooper to re-evaluate their strategy. In this session, Cooper's Head of Media & Content Distribution will share what happened to make them start thinking differently, and the steps they took to bring a portion of media in house. You'll also learn the impact of this hybrid strategy and what's next.
