How Did We Get Here? Living, Innovating and Governing in a Post-Pandemic World

 

How will the economy in the U.S. recover? The pandemic has changed how businesses operate and how citizens consume. In this new normal, resilience to shocks will be a much more prominent concern. We will all need to be prepared to adapt and respond to shocks without freezing or overreacting. This keynote session will weave together Paul Romer’s research on technological innovation, which earned him his Nobel Prize, and his recent deep-dive into the specifics of how the nation can contain the pandemic without destroying our economy. The overarching lesson is that the basic methods of science -- resolving disagreements about facts and using logic to make sense of them -- are the key both to making progress in the long-run and to responding optimally to short-run disruptions. This method requires an honest inquiry into the mistakes the United States made in responding to the pandemic and a serious attempt at making sure we never repeat them. But we must be sure that these tasks undermine neither our confidence that the citizens of the United States can keep making progress nor our commitment to sustain the effort that it requires.

User Privacy & Attribution in the Age of iOS 14

On the heels of Apple’s announcement around IDFA at WWDC, the entire industry is pondering if it's possible to give users control over their data and still provide developers with the transparency they need to build and market viable businesses. The diverse app ecosystem has been built upon trust – from the users who engage with content and who expect that their privacy is being respected to the publishers and advertisers who create and ultimately pay for the free app content. Brian Quinn, US President and GM at AppsFlyer, breaks down how Apple’s privacy innovations attached to the roll out of iOS 14 could change attribution, the essential data infrastructure that powers the entire app economy.

Establishing True Sustainability in the Face of Continual Change

It's an exciting yet challenging time to be a marketer right now. The third party cookie and other unstable identifiers are on their last leg. The pandemic is continuously disrupting behavior and consumption. Privacy is now an expectation rather than an option. With all this continual change, marketing enterprises will need to make drastic changes to the way they collect, store, connect, and utilize data, both inside their own walls as well as across the supply chain.  Join this facilitated discussion to discuss and explore what the future of measurement, the future of media, and future of identity will need to become in order to sustain the future of marketing. A new foundation of data-driven strategies and technology needs to be established now to responsibly and effectively connect brands, publishers, platforms, and the people they serve.

Power of Dynamic Creative During Uncertain Times

While top advertisers revise creative on average once every 10.4 days, nothing could prepare them for the creative revisions demanded by the first half of 2020. How did brands course correct in the face of macro global, civil and economic events? How was digital helpful in pivoting quickly? What marketers were successful in leveraging CTV and digital platforms to test and adapt? What trends are here to stay, and which will go away? Join Channel Factory for a lively discussion on ways brands are able to affect major pivots from a media, creative, and messaging perspective.

Untangling the Mobile Landscape: How the In-App Ad Channel is Poised to Grow Audiences & Profitability

This roundtable will kick off the discussion with how brands like Western Union, Dunkin’ and Mars Petcare are cracking the code on mobile fraud and viewability, uncovering the right audiences with first party in-app mobile data, and more quickly activating consumers. As experts compel even CFOs & Procurement to help marketers 'stop buying bad ads’ and predictions that digital ad fraud will hit $23B in 2020, we’ll discuss as a group in-app concerns/questions and the primary reasons why a growing number of brand leaders have shifted to in-app: simple, less fragmented system, global reach, scale, cookie-less data capture and stronger consumer engagement.

Influence Means Nothing Without Trust

The recent events have shown us that voices matter – and at times, even more so than our own message. As brands, we’ve not only had to rethink how we market to our consumers - ensuring responsive and tone appropriate messages, we’ve had to seek out those voices whose values reflect our own and partner with them to help drive positive change. Unfortunately, capitalizing on social and aligning with trusted talent is risky given the millions of followers to choose from and fake followers that run rampant. Join Bob Lord, SVP, Cognitive Applications, Blockchain and Ecosystems, Ryan Detert, CEO of Influential, and Josephine Chew, Vice President of Brand and Reputation at Wells Fargo as they discuss the power artificial intelligence can have in bringing some much-needed trust and responsibility to this enormous market opportunity.

Time for Action

In a constantly evolving world, it’s hard to foresee what will happen next. Things are changing all the time which makes it almost impossible to predict where everything is heading to. That’s why sometimes it’s best to focus on the things which will probably not change. With economic turmoil and social tensions on the rise, companies and brands have the responsibility to take real, concrete actions and play a positive role for people and the planet. In this presentation Fernando Machado, Global CMO for Restaurant Brands International, will present a framework on how to create a positive impact for your brands while avoiding some common pitfalls we all face.

Fixing the Consumer Identity Problem in Digital Advertising

The last few years have seen unprecedented challenges to the status quo of how consumers are discovered & identified by brands, targeted for advertisements & offers, measured & segmented, and engaged. In the new privacy-first economy, a unified identity solution is needed to bridge the worlds of demand and supply to best serve the consumer who is at the heart of digital advertising.
