CREATIVE THAT WORKS

Today’s consumers have choices. Today it’s all about experiences, ease and convenience. Traditional retailers need to evolve and deliver best-in-class solutions, with personalized and relevant experiences. It can also be about perceptions. Customers can pigeon-hole you based on what they know versus what they don’t. In this session Thom Lucarelli, Senior Director, National Creative and Brand at The Home Depot, will share what it takes to deliver creative that is insight-driven, connects with consumers, and drives positive perception change.

UNITING BRAND AND PERFORMANCE TO SCALE A STARTUP AND DISRUPT THE LENDING INDUSTRY

Established brands are scrambling to address their siloed approach to brand marketing vs. performance marketing. DTC startups, on the other hand, suffer no such legacy issues, which is why the entire marketing industry is undergoing such disruption. This session will detail the approach taken by consumer lending brand Lendly, which turned an innovative new loan product into a nearly $100,000,000 book of business in just one year by simultaneously building brand awareness, efficiently acquiring new customers and activating brand advocates. Todd Silverstein, CMO at DRUM, will also share how to weaponize data—be it consumer, customer, platform, third-party or other, find the proper balance between CAC and LTV and generate content with the optimal amount of personalization.
