In a dynamic and ever-evolving marketing landscape, the distinction between ‘media’ and ‘creative’ is becoming harder to make and ideas are expected to inspire thoughtful dialogue about the ever-changing industry. Brands must take advantage of all channels of communication in order to establish unique connections with their consumers.

Whether mainstream or unconventional, digital or print, what does today’s most effective work look like?

On September 19th, in Los Angeles, AEG Worldwide will partner with ANA and Effie to host an ANA Members Only Conference at the GRAMMY Museum. The program will showcase recent winners of the Effie Awards North America program through case studies that will focus on best practices for bringing ideas to life, key insights and industry trends. The Effie Awards recognize the most effective advertising – advertising that drives results – and their mission is, “to recognize, educate and encourage effectiveness among the marketing communications industry.” Join us as we celebrate this year's elite in the marketing community.

BALL PARK: REINVENTING A BRAND BY INVENTING A NEW CATEGORY
Discover the story of how one of America’s most beloved brands regained its swagger by setting its sights on something far bigger than reclaiming its spot atop a category. For Ball Park, it was about breaking the conventions of the overly commoditized hot dog category by moving the brand into its own category of “guy food”.   Learn how Ball Park’s brand platform, “Men. Easier Fed Than Understood”,   inspired the women who buy the food and the guys who eat it by celebrating the hard to understand behaviors of men and their everlasting love for meaty, juicy and handheld food they eat during “guy time.”
