	VSP: IT'S NOT JUST THE MAJOR THINGS, IT'S A HUNDRED MINOR THINGS... Three years ago, the leadership at VSP chose to convert their in-house creative team from an on-demand job shop to a modern, highly functioning, in-house agency. A year into the process, we shared the struggles and the successes that we'd experienced to that point. Now it is two years later, and we're still fine tuning our daily processes, but we can say that we've made it to the other side, and are a more efficient, more responsive, and more skilled group than ever before. The significant benefits have made it worth the considerable effort. Robert Kalmbach Creative Director VSP View Event Recap
	GOPRO: USING PROGRAMMATIC TO MAKE MARKETING STRATEGIES MORE RELEVANT In this session, we’ll explore how GoPro built programmatic campaigns to tailor Hero5 launch messages to a wide array of audiences at scale, and increased advertising ROI as a result.

	SPRITE: INNOVATING ON A STRONG, GROWING BRAND A few years ago, Sprite took the bold and innovative step of rejuvenating one of the most iconic and successful brands of the past 30+ years. The goal was to strengthen the position of a strong, growing brand and double down on growth by capturing a new generation of youth. In this session, we’ll learn about the new branding campaign, what drove the decision, how it was implemented, and best practices.

	PERSONAS THAT MERELY PROFILE ARE INCOMPLETE: ALIGNING AROUND YOUR BUYER'S WHOLE STORY There’s a lot of nonsense floating around that buyer personas are fictional representations of your buyers, resulting in far too many personas and not nearly enough value. In this session, you’ll learn how to gain insight into your buyers’ actual questions and concerns throughout their journey, plus how this approach guides meaningful targeting and content.
