ANA Effective Brand Marketing @ American Family Insurance (Members Only Conference)

This event is over.

Building Brand and Business in a Customer-Driven Digital Age

Today’s consumer is digitally-centered:  Their lifestyle, modes of communication, and media consumption are all dependent on devices that range from smartphones and smart TVs to vehicles to appliances. In this environment, consumers fluidly move between social media, scripted entertainment, direct response, and everything in between – oftentimes simultaneously – and expect a personalized and seamless experience that responds to their needs at the right place and right time. We have more tools to connect with our customers than ever before, yet paradoxically, it’s harder than ever to drive both brand health and business (conversion).  This complimentary ANA members-only conference will feature sessions from leading marketers who will share their experiences, innovations, and strategies for capturing both hearts and minds in today’s customer-driven digital world.

 

**Parking will be complimentary to all attendees that choose to park at the city garage at 415 N. Lake Street.  This garage is 2 blocks away from the venue. A voucher will be provided onsite at checkin for those who use this parking option.**

KRAFT MAC & CHEESE: “BLIND TASTE TEST” KEEPS CLASSIC BRAND RELEVANT

In April 2015, Kraft announced they would be removing all artificial flavors, preservatives and dyes from their macaroni & cheese. While some people were ecstatic, lots of Kraft loyalists were worried that taking out the artificial stuff would change the iconic Kraft Mac & Cheese taste that Americans have loved for almost 80 years. In December 2015, stores began selling the new recipe, unbeknownst to their employees or their customers.  The result was the World’s Largest Blind Taste Test and that America’s silence had proven the new recipe tasted the same.  The campaign generated over 1 billion earned media impressions and drove sales “through the roof.” It was covered by everyone from E! to the New York Times. Stephen Colbert even devoted his entire Late Show monologue to the campaign.  In this session, hear from the team who pulled this off and the insights, learnings, and results that were generated from this successful campaign and how this campaign fits into a larger strategy for Kraft Mac & Cheese.
