Brand Innovators Mobile and Millennials tales place Tuesday, November 11, at the Nomad Hotel in New York City. This invitation-only event offers continuing digital education for best of breed brand marketers.TRANSCRIPT

Hello and ...
Welcome to the second annual Brand Innovators Mobile and Millennials Summit!
“Know your customer” may be the most important mantra in business today. Perhaps the only thing more important, however, than knowing your customer is knowing your next generation of customers. For Fortune 500 and other leading brands that means knowing and understanding millennials —the future of your business is in their hands.
Millennials — generally defined as consumers born after 1982 — are the fastest growing generation on earth, and they will soon be the most influential. Retail industry analysts predict that over the next five years millennials will have more purchasing power than any other generation. At the same time, they are still forming their own opinions and preferences about different brands, making it even more important for brand marketers to build relationships and engage with these young consumers while the window is still open. Finally, millennials are the first generation of “digital natives,” consuming virtually all of their media on digital devices.
Brand Innovators Mobile and Millennials will provide brand marketers from Fortune 500 and other leading brands with an important forum to share success stories and discuss the challenges and opportunities inherent in marketing to millennials.
Thank you to all of our attendees and speakers who contributed to our program. We invite you to participate in the discussion, and to share your ideas with your fellow marketers in the Brand Innovators community, both during and after our event. Enjoy the show and we look forward to seeing you at our next event in New York, again, soon!

9:00 am MARKETING TO MILLENNIALS: THE X FACTORCourting and marketing to Millennials – consumers born after 1982 – is crucial to your brand’s long-term success. Millennials are the fastest growing generation on the planet and they will soon be the most influential. Over the next five years, retail industry analysts predict that these young consumers will have more purchasing power than any other generation. At the same time, they are still forming their opinions about different brands and determining brand loyalty and preferences. Finally, Millennials represent the first generation of digital “natives” or individuals who have grown up on the Internet and mobile devices. Understanding how and when and on what platform to reach these consumers has become a science in and of itself. Take a deep dive into all of the challenges and opportunities inherent in marketing to your next generation of consumers.

Agenda10:00 am KEYNOTE — THE MOBILE MEDIUM IS THE MILLENNIAL MESSAGE
Liane Pritikin, Director, Strategic Insights and Research, MTV
Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase “The medium is the message.” meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. For Millennials, mobile is their medium of choice – and speaks volumes about their values, attitudes, and ways of interacting with the world.
10:25 am SUCCESS STORY — HOW ‘ALWAYS ON’ INSIGHT DRIVES ‘ALWAYS ON’ CONTENT FOR FRANK’S RED HOTSWith the content explosion, brands can no longer afford to ‘plan’ the times of year where they will go out and ‘collect’ the data that will tell them exactly what they need to produce to be relevant with their consumers. Instead, they need to constantly sense and listen; adapt to trends, cultural events and new innovation in order to really drive engagement and grow their brand. This case study will showcase how the French’s and Franks brands are re-shaping their content and brand experience by building a culture and operating model that is anchored in the brand strategy but driven by an ‘always-on’ insight mentality.

And that measuring ROI and integrating data are the two biggest challenges marketers face in amping-up programmatic activity?

2:10 pm MOBILE ECLIPSEThere are more than 6.5 billion mobile phones in use worldwide and in 2014 shipments are expected to exceed one billion for the first time. While growth is being fueled by developing markets like China and India (there are more mobile phones than tooth brushes in the world), U.S. penetration is at close to 100%, with mobile ad spending expected to grow by over 50% in 2014, to over $4 billion, according to PWC. The laptop fueled the first twenty years of online advertising, but the future belongs to mobile. What’s your strategy?

2:45 pm POV — SCALING PROGRAMMATIC VIDEO ACROSS MOBILE DEVICESNow that consumer time spent on smartphones and tablets has exceeded desktops and with multiple key developments across the programmatic video ecosystem, marketers have likely started thinking about introducing mobile video for their cross-screen advertising strategies.

3:00 pm FROM THE FRONT LINES: A LOOK AT HOW SNAPCHAT IS CHANGING THE CRM GAMEIn a recent study, more than 70 percent of college students reported that they would open a Snapchat from a brand. When you compare this number to the average open rate for branded e-mails – less than two percent – there’s no comparison. In a little over three years since Snapchat burst onto the market, little is known about how marketers can best harness and manage this tool to reach the coveted “iGen” or young millennial category. A seasoned creative strategist on the front lines at Code and Theory will share her war stories, predictions and insights about how this platform might change the way you look at your brand. From tapping into “FOMO” and understanding the nuanced rules and etiquette of this evolving platform, attendees will also leave a few tips to integrate into their real-time marketing playbook.
