The first day of the ANA Media Conference will address “media for good.” Media and the advertising associated with it informs, entertains, fuels the economy, and even catalyzes social movements. The stakes were recently raised and the media stepped up to the challenge. Support of gender equality, investment with diverse media suppliers, the reduction of online hate speech, keeping digital media platforms safe for brands, and reducing the carbon impact of advertising are all now major areas of focus for the media industry.  Join us for an afternoon of content and conversation focused on supplier diversity, sustainability, eliminating gender bias, and socially conscious media investment.

MAKING MEDIA MORE SUSTAINABLE

The climate crisis demands urgent, innovative and transformational changes to improve the way businesses deliver more sustainable solutions in the marketplace. Like the clients it serves, the advertising industry plays a vital role in reducing its carbon footprint. Ad Net Zero has the mission of unifying the advertising industry around a common measurement framework, tools, practices and actions to reduce the carbon impact of producing and distributing advertising to real net zero. Media carries a disproportionate amount of the carbon load. This session will review the importance of taking steps to mitigate the carbon crisis across the media ecosystem.

OPENING REMARKS

The continued confluence of content, culture, commerce, and corporate responsibility present new opportunities and challenges for marketers. Connected TV, Retail Media Networks, Social Shopping, Gaming, and Influencer and Affiliate Marketing are collapsing the marketing funnel, blending entertainment, connection, brand experience and purchasing. The technologies and platforms that underpin the new ecosystem however are outpacing advertisers’ ability to adequately measure and monitor where brands show up. Walled-gardens, opacity, unclear supply chains, consumer privacy issues, and brand safety are detracting from the audience and advertiser experience. In this session, Bob will walk you through what the ANA is doing to create greater measurability, transparency, accountability, and safety for marketers in this evolving media landscape.

WHY SCALED HUMAN ATTENTION METRICS MATTER

For many years, when the pipes that delivered advertising exposure where cleaner and clearer, an impression delivered was considered an impression made. Today’s focus on measurement of non-human metadata, while much more precise, still only makes assumptions about actual human viewing. The last few feet, from screen to eyes to brain, is the difference between ad spend versus ad impact. There is a vast gap between opportunity to see and what a human actually does and this measurement gap is not consistent across platforms and formats and can’t be solved by simplistic proxies. In this session, Dr. Karen Nelson-Field demonstrates how scaled human attention data works, better predicts and drives business outcomes, and equalizes the delivery and impact of an impression.

THE WIN/WIN/WIN OF MEDIA PROCUREMENT

The craft of media procurement is growing and is more important than ever given that media is the largest marketing investment for many companies. In the “old days” procurement was about cutting costs, and particularly agency fees. Now, the role of media procurement is to optimize the media investment to the benefit of the client marketing team, the agency, and procurement – a true triple win.

MEDIA IS THE FLYWHEEL OF MARKETING INTEGRATION

CMOs are changing the nature of their agency relationships to be more connected and to improve marketing impact. This leap toward greater integration alters the role of media as a capability. A marketing capability that used to be just planning and buying paid advertising now also comprises technology partnerships, content development, data enrichment, identity, customer privacy, innovation, company reputation, sales, and commerce. Media has become the flywheel for marketing regarding audiences, data, activation, message, and attribution: Data is the oil, content is the vessel, and media is the engine that propels them all. In this session Jay will share how dramatic shifts in consumer behavior over the past two years, and the collision of media and commerce in nearly every industry, requires a media-first reset for brands and agencies to optimize holistic marketing management.
