ANA Effective Brand Marketing @ Visit Philly (Member's 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. Today’s American population is more diverse than ever and brands utilize rich consumer insights to maintain relevance with multiple audience segments including African American, Latino, LGBT, millennials, and gen Z. 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. Additionally, as marketers, we must automate processes to measure lifetime value and continue to stay relevant to consumers. 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) and to measure all of the consumer touchpoints. 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.

1:15pm	HOW MILLENNIAL MOMS ARE CHANGING BRAND MARKETING The most digital generation in history is stepping up to the plate of parenthood and rewriting the rule book. With moms controlling 85 percent of all household purchases, brands can’t afford to miss the mark with millennials. Compared to previous generations, millennials do almost everything differently when it comes to the way they plan and shop for their households, both online and in store. They are overscheduled, understaffed, and more time-starved than ever before. Based on thousands of pain points collected across 17 countries, Lauren Fitzgerald, Managing Director of The Mom Complex, will reveal the top pain points facing millennial moms today and how your brand can win with this powerful audience with creative and non-traditional strategies.
