Hello and ...
Welcome to our inaugural edition of Brand Innovators Content Marketing in Seattle!
Content marketing is as old as the hills, however, the Internet and innovative new advertising technologies are enabling brands to use content to communicate and engage with their consumers in more exciting ways than ever. By delivering unique and compelling content and consumer experiences online and educating consumers about the things that they are passionate about, brand marketers are creating millions of “earned” media impressions and building loyalty and trust with their consumers.
Brand Innovators Content Marketing will provide brand marketers from Fortune 500 and other leading brands with an important forum to share success stories about how they are leveraging original content and digital media to reach their consumers more efficiently, emotionally, and authentically than they ever could by using traditional media. We will hear from some of the best and brightest brand marketers in America about what’s working in content marketing and the major trends on the horizon. Thank you to all of our speakers, attendees, and partners who contributed to today’s program. We invite you to participate in the discussion, and to share ideas with your fellow brand marketers in the Brand Innovators community, both during and after today’s event.
Enjoy the show and we look forward to seeing you at our next event in Seattle, again, soon!

9:15 am CONTENT MARKETING 2.0: FROM BOARDROOM TO NEWSROOMThere’s no doubt about it. Content marketing has gone mainstream. Over the past few years, content marketing has evolved from a novelty or step-child within the marketing department to a core competency or crucial strategy for Fortune 500 brands. In addition to investing more marketing dollars than ever in content marketing, leading brands are now viewing content marketing as a dedicated “top of funnel” marketing function, supporting all marketing initiatives. Content marketing has become an integral piece of the marketing process, prominently reflected in the org charts of forward thinking brands.

9:55 am KEYNOTE — THE NEW DEFAULT
Kodi Foster, Head of Brand Initiatives, OutbrainContent is no longer a “nice-to-have” and mobile is no longer the “new kid on the block” in digital marketing: they are the primary means of communication between brands and consumers. In this discussion, Kodi will discuss why fluency in content and mobile engagement isn’t just a marketing imperative – it’s a business imperative.
10:15 am BRANDS AS EDITORSLet’s face it; there’ s a lot of content out there on the world wide web — maybe too much. Especially, now that every brand is a “publisher.” Breaking through the clutter has become more essential than ever, which is why brands need to think more like editors, creating compelling, interesting, and engaging content

12:05 pm KEYNOTE — ORGANIC REACH DECLINES, INFLUENCER NETWORKS CRUMBLE: WHAT’S A BRAND TO DO?
John Andrews, CMO, Ignite Social MediaWhat worked in social media marketing just a few short years ago is unlikely to work today. Generating organic impressions on owned social channels has gotten much more difficult. At the same time, early influencer networks such as Federated Media and Say Media have struggled to stay afloat. But social is, if anything, more important than ever for discovering new products to buy. Given those challenges, what approaches can a brand take in 2015? Jim Tobin, President of Ignite Social Media, will share one approach that’s driving impressions and sales for leading brands and retailers.

1:30 pm KEYNOTE — STAYING TRUE TO YOUR BRAND’S PROMISE IN A WORLD OF COMMODITY AND PROMOTION
Rob Goldberg, Executive Vice President, Marketing, Tommy BahamaIn the increasingly cluttered marketplace a new value is being placed on authenticity and differentiation. It’s a given that today’s consumer expects great service and value but to build long term relationships with its audience a brand needs context, point of view and differentiation from it’s competitive set. Rob Goldberg, Tommy Bahama Group’s Executive Vice President of Creative and Marketing, will share how brand content has become a centerpiece of Tommy Bahama’s communications strategy. Their original content has allowed them to evolve from a niche men’s apparel brand to a billion dollar global lifestyle powerhouse who’s mission is to inspire the world to relax.

2:15 pm KEYNOTE — Peter DeLuca, SVP-Brand & Advertising, T-Mobile
2:40 pm PEOPLE, PARTNERSHIPS, AND PRODUCTION: THREE ROUTES TO CREATING COMPELLING CONTENTCreating content and creating good content that people actually want are two very different matters, and seasoned brand marketers know that the secret to success is in finding the right strategy dictated by broader objectives, market opportunity, and most importantly, customer needs. Indeed, depending on those variables, three major approaches have emerged through which brand marketers can identify and develop compelling content. Whether it’s through partnerships with existing creative organizations, working with individual people – celebrities and customers alike – or by taking on the challenge head on and producing content in-house, the key is to create something that doesn’t feel like advertising, but is informative, entertaining, or otherwise relevant to people’s lives and interests.

3:35 pm SUCCESS STORY — THE URBAN LEGEND OF FREE SOCIAL MARKETINGIn a time where our attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish, many marketers think they must share more and more content to a highly distractible audience. But with organic reach plummeting, chances are your audience still won’t see your content unless you throw more money at social networks. By investing in your owned and operated properties and shifting the focus from the quantity of real-time content to the quality of real-time content, you can earn organic followers that persist beyond a campaign.

Having said that, hopefully all of your content marketing efforts lead to new customers or conversions. Like other forms of digital media, brand marketers are constantly looking for metrics to help justify their investment in content marketing.
