LUNCH / INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION ON ANA'S 2019 INFLUENCER PLAYBOOK (12:30PM – 1:30PM)
One of the benefits of ANA Committees is the ability to share and learn from fellow marketers in a "closed door" environment and to leverage and share knowledge and insights with marketing peers. In this roundtable, we will ask members to share 1-2 "hot topics" or key areas of focus/challenge as a way to facilitate more one-to-one networking between members with similar challenges during coffee breaks and lunch. Come prepared to pose questions, exchange ideas and get insights from the group to current challenges, future opportunities and best practices in this “off the record” peer-to-peer conversation.

IV. Session 4: Reimagining Influencer ROI with a Reimagined Hotel Brand (1:30PM - 2:15PM)
As a category disruptor, new brand Tru by Hilton didn’t want to launch its properties in typical fashion. But that didn’t mean they could overlook the basics like measuring the return on their campaign investments. Though influencer marketing continues to serve more dynamic objectives in marketers’ mix, the industry lags behind in measuring ROI. In this session we’ll review an evolved approach to calculating influencer ROI that better reflects the changing ways influencer marketing serves brands throughout their lifecycle.

Speakers:
Alexis Glemser, Manager, Brand Marketing, Tru by Hilton
Maritza Moreno Calderon, Manager, Data & Marketing Science, The Marketing Arm
Sara Hightower, VP Strategy, The Marketing Arm
