2012 ANA Digital & Social Media Conference presented by Meredith

This event is over.

The ANA Digital & Social Media Conference will be a must-attend event for anyone who is trying to navigate their brands through this changing media landscape. Digital media has become a part of consumer's daily lives and they have become accustomed to viewing content and connecting with people wherever and whenever they want. Social media and viral videos have especially exploded in the last few years. Despite this rapid growth, clients have many questions and their issues include measurement, agency selection, internal org structure, and relinquishing control to the consumer while trying to influence the dialogue.

8:30am	General Session WELCOME REMARKS Bob Liodice President and Chief Executive Officer ANA Opening Remarks/Presenting Sponsor Nancy Weber Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer Meredith National Media Group SOCIAL MEDIA CHANGES EVERYTHING: LONG LIVE THE FUNDAMENTALS Are the rules of social media really that different? We often talk or hype-up social media as though listening, relationship marketing, influencer management, earned media, and creating engaging brand experiences are fundamentally new concepts. And yet they are all deeply rooted in the history and tradition of great brand building. Using a series of case studies drawing from “Brand Building the Nestlé Way,” Pete Blackshaw, Global Head of Digital and Social Media at Nestlé, SA., will reach back to the “boring fundamentals” to fortify the business rationale for social media investment, embrace, and even organizational realignment. Pete is author of “Satisfied Customers Tell Three Friends, Angry Customers Tell 3000” (Doubleday) and founded one of the industry’s first social media monitoring firms, which he sold to Nielsen.

12:45pm	Lunch sponsored by Meredith HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO ELECTRIFY AN ICONIC BRAND Blogs. Social media. Content co-creation. If you listen to enough people in the industry you would think these words were sounding the death knell for print media. Not so fast, says Sally Lee, editor in chief of Ladies Home Journal. The Journal is a classic magazine brand that was suffering from lack of differentiation in a cluttered space – time for a deep dive into the drivers and, importantly, the reader’s needs and expectations. Her bold makeover of the brand and daring approach to collaborative content development may have stirred up some controversy, but it also stoked the passions of its audience.

2:10pm	General Session Cont. HOW BRAVO & THE REAL HOUSEWIVES LEVERAGE SOCIAL TV – THE NEW DIGITAL WATERCOOLER The social TV phenomenon has been fueled by the explosive use of other screens-notably phones and tablets. Consumers are no longer simply passively watching television. Rather, they are connecting with other fans and TV cast members to chat about their favorite shows in real time. Bravo is one of the TV networks ahead of the curve as they have also integrated social media within the live-viewing experience. John Jude Schultz, producer on Bravo’s popular late night interactive talk show, “Watch What Happens Live,” will moderate a panel with Ellen Stone, senior vice president of marketing for Bravo to discuss how the network uses social media to help drive engagement beyond the television screen to create a more immersive experience for viewers. In addition, Gretchen Christine Rossi from “The Real Housewives of Orange County” and Rosie Pope from “Pregnant in Heels” will weigh in on how leveraging their hit shows and social networking helps build their own personal brands.

7:30am	Breakfast sponsored by Wildfire What makes some social marketing campaigns successful while others fail? At Wildfire, we believe the answer lies in understanding your social customer. A "one size fits all" approach to social media may suffice to generate fans. But in the fast-moving world of social media, generating fans doesn't equate to generating social ROI. When you know your audience as real individuals — instead of interchangeable "fans" — the results of your brand's paid, owned, and earned media dramatically increase. Join Wildfire as we analyze what it takes to develop a differentiated understanding of your audience's social preferences and behavior, and learn how you can personalize interactions at scale. Chris Falcioni Director of Sales Wildfire
