LEVERAGING ADVOCACY TO DRIVE SOCIAL BUZZ AND TRIAL*^
For new products, driving awareness, trial and repeat purchase are critical to success. Leveraging advocacy campaigns as a way to educate consumers about a new product through their trusted influencers’ endorsements is becoming an increasingly important strategy. It helps make your product more relevant to them, shows them its benefits, can tell them where to find it and, most importantly, inspires them to use it often. Michelle Flood and Maria Kafkis of Reynolds Consumer Products share how they incorporated a strategic social influencer campaign into the marketing plan of one of Reynolds® branded cooking products to create social buzz, drive awareness and trial by connecting it to unique, inspirational influencer content. They will also share how inspiring consumers through advocacy can have a lasting impact.

CREATING RETAIL & CONSUMER ENGAGEMENT BY BAKING PASSION INTO YOUR BRAND^
Developing a shopper marketing program on a shoestring budget that inspires and excites consumers is one thing. But creating a program that also excites and ignites retailers on that same tight budget is an even bigger challenge. Hear from Stacey Rubin and Sarah Davis how they helped KitchenAid® re-energize its 14 year partnership with Susan G. Komen® through their REGGIE award winning “10,000 Cupcakes, One Great Cause” campaign. By leveraging a combination of brand, shopper and retailer insights…the power of social media and influencers…and creating a completely turnkey retailer toolkit, they actively engaged thousands of passionate consumers, generated millions of impressions, and drove unprecedented retailer participation to help raise awareness and dollars for a heartfelt cause, all while building the KitchenAid brand and generating double-digit YOY sales increases.

THE FUTURE OF SHOPPER MARKETING: INTEGRATING CONSUMER, SHOPPER & TRADE PLANS*^
Today, companies are a collection of functional silos that rarely come together in the form of true integration to support prioritized growth initiatives. Sitting in a conference room and having two hours of conversation between brand and Shopper Marketing does not equate to integration. While Shopper Marketing the function has had some success within this isolated approach to planning, Shopper Marketing the discipline will never be optimized until fully integrated with the other marketing disciplines. Come hear how Abbott Nutrition and other Syntegrate clients are shifting their focus from siloed planning, to a process that integrates consumer, shopper, and trade plans through insights and strategy.
In this session, you will learn:
- The three key elements needed for full marketing integration.
- The integrated planning process.
- Case study example of integrated communications that out-tested the current industry standard.
