HELLO HIGH FIVER,

When we set out to create a new conference in Raleigh, we wanted to do something different. Our mantra was to create a conference unlike any other.

The High Five Conference is more than an event to us—it’s a call to action for marketers and creatives to come together and harness their shared talents to achieve the extraordinary.

You might say this is a lofty goal. And you’d be 100% correct. But for our businesses and clients to succeed, we have to collaborate. The High Five is a universal symbol of collaboration, teamwork and success, which is exactly what our conference celebrates.

We’re so happy you’re here and can’t wait to see what unfolds next.

High Five!

The Silver Bullet: The One Skill Every Communicator Should UseALAN HOFFLER / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND PUBLIC SPEAKING COACH AT MILLSWYCK COMMUNICATIONS

Since no human is born speaking, we can conclude it is a skill, and not an inborn talent. But some speakers are definitely better than others. And most speakers have some sense of dread or anxiety as they approach the craft.

Whether you’re a hesitant speaker or one who wants to improve, please join us for an interactive and educational session designed to help you become a GREAT speaker through the use of a valuable and easy-to-learn technique – the Speakers’ Silver Bullet. In addition to learning about the skill, you will practice and apply it to your message, whether it’s a technical work presentation, a networking event or a sales/persuasion situation.

The Silver Bullet can apply to most any situation, takes relatively little preparation, and is used by the masters of the stage in just about every forum imaginable. You’ll find ways to immediately put this weapon in your toolbox and WOW your audiences and have them ready to listen to your pitch, platform or presentation.

Earn It. Don’t Buy It. Social Media Marketing in a Post Facebook WorldJIM TOBIN / FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT AT IGNITE SOCIAL MEDIA

In his first book, Social Media is a Cocktail Party: Why You Already Know the Rules of Social Media Marketing, social media marketing pioneer Jim Tobin showed how normal social behaviors are more important to online marketing than the dusty old rules of advertising. In his new book, Earn It. Don’t Buy It. The CMO’s Guide to Social Media Marketing in a Post Facebook World, Jim shows that now, you not only have to know the rules of organic engagement and honest, meaningful, and truthful conversations with customers, but where to find the audience. Facebook? Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded. The first arrivals are off to a better, more exclusive party. Tobin talks about where to find them and how to implement a social media strategy to engage them and their friends, and he offers a breakthrough system for measuring your social media marketing ROI. You can t buy your way into the online conversation anymore, not with ads — you’ve got to earn your way in. Remember, it’s their world, we just post in it.

Z.E.R.O. - Zero Paid Media as the New Marketing Model

JOSEPH JAFFE / FOUNDER OF EVOL8TION, AUTHOR OF LIFE AFTER THE 30-SECOND SPOT

A perfect storm is coming…in fact it may already be here. A combination of forces that could very well cause the bottom to fall out of the media model. To prepare for this scenario, consider a new marketing model in which the optimal paid media budget would be zero. In this bold and provocative keynote, four-time author and thought leader, Joseph Jaffe will outline the Z.E.R.O. Manifesto of how brands can move from being tenants to landlords and successfully adopt and activate the four-pronged approach of Zealots, Entrepreneurship, Retention and Owned Assets.

Make Your Own Luck: Planned Serendipity in Life and BusinessLANE BECKER / CO-FOUNDER OF GET SATISFACTION AND ADAPTIVE PATH / AUTHOR OF NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER GET LUCKY

Do you ever wonder why some people always seem to have luck on their side? Imagine if you could harness the power of luck to make good things happen in your life. Say you could identify and plan for the next major market shift that is going to impact your business, and adapt your strategies to control the outcome to your advantage. Instead of blindly reacting to unplanned events, what if you could actually architect good luck into your business, hone your skills to recognize the next big opportunity, and provide the space for things to go unexpectedly right?

According to Lane Becker, co-author of New York Times bestseller “Get Lucky,” polishing your skills to harness luck is not only learnable, it is the key ingredient some of the world’s most admired leaders cite for their success. Lane defines this type of luck as “planned serendipity“ — where individuals can influence the outcome of unplanned encounters simply by exercising certain behaviors.

In this presentation, Lane will share his insights on the mechanics of luck — how it works, and how to put it to work for you. He’ll explore how some of the world’s most successful business leaders have developed the capacity to put themselves in the path of chance opportunities, to identify the really great ones that come their way, and to take action on the ones that matter most.

Fraught with collaborative chemistry and determined artlessness, songs like “Last Love” and “Obey Your Guns” ring out with Matrimony’s astonishing communal spirit, their tight harmonies and intuitive musical telepathy born of true love and a shared lifetime.

MODERATED BY HEATHER HESKETH / CEO AT HESKETH.COM

Entrepreneurship as an idea has won the hearts of creative and marketing professionals, but we’re lacking a stable foundation upon which to practice it. In this session, Matt Woolman, Director of Creative Entrepreneurship at Virginia Commonwealth University, and Chris Butler, COO at Newfangled, will explore what entrepreneurship means, beginning with the educational systems that introduce it and working their way through the working culture we find ourselves in. Beyond the critique they will bring, they hope to spark a conversation around how to practice entrepreneurship in the marketplace and even rethink your own business models.

At a time when meaningless predictions such as “2014 will be the year of mobile” are often shared by so called gurus — Rohit’s “Non-Obvious Trend Report” uses real life examples to spotlight unexpected trends in media, technology, advertising, culture and entrepreneurship.

Making An Impact: It’s Not What, But WhenJAKE FINKELSTEIN / FOUNDER & CEO AT METHOD SAVVY

There are no lack of ways to invest in marketing and advertising. We’ve all heard smart speakers talk about how to design the perfect email, craft just the right print advertisement or optimize your website for search. But what they don’t tell you is that timing the deployment of marketing executions is equally important as doing them in the first place. This lightning session won’t focus on the HOW, but on the WHEN. Join Jake as he explores how to time your communications and advertising activities to maximize marketplace impact.

The "New" Rule of SEO: Common SenseJENNY HALSAZ / PRESIDENT AT JLH MARKETING

If you've been watching the changes in Google lately, it's tempting to worry about what's next. Is link building dead? Is content marketing the future? What about authorship? Is Schema the next frontier, or the next penalty?

Join SEO expert, Jenny Halasz, as she explains why great SEO is mostly just the application of common sense, and teaches you the single question you should ask yourself when deciding whether an SEO tactic is the right move.

The “Big Idea” Needs “Big Data” — Using Data as the Foundation for Your Marketing CampaignsMEGAN JONES / DIRECTOR OF ANALYTICS AT CAPSTRAT

Delivering one standard message to your customers is no longer an effective marketing strategy. Today, it’s all about determining the right message for the right audience, and the right channel for delivery — and using data as the foundation for it all. Join Megan in this lightning session to learn how data can help you make smarter and more cost-efficient marketing decisions, by segmenting your audience and developing hyper-targeted campaigns that deliver results.

Neuromarketing: The Art and Science of InfluenceSHERIDAN ORR / HEAD OF GLOBAL PRODUCT MARKETING AT CHANNELADVISOR

Emotion is the Holy Grail of effective, creative marketing. To win with customers, we have to appeal to their emotions. We’ve known that for years. But short of guessing, how can we be sure our messages are conveying the right emotions?

Until recently, we’ve relied upon focus groups to measure emotion, but they’re flawed. Focus group feedback is always filtered by our audience’s rational brains and too often, they tell us what they think we want to hear. With advances in neuroscience, we can now understand more about what really connects with our audiences. While not every brand can afford to use fMRI’s to test responses, research has uncovered patterns that everyday marketers can use to ensure their message is creating the desired response. In this session, we’ll cover what marketers need to know about the brain and human emotions as well as some best practices for incorporating neuromarketing into your branding and campaigns.

Traditional tell and sell marketing is dead. Marketer’s can no longer afford to spray and pray. Today’s unsung hero is the empowered customer. The challenge is to leverage their advocacy by selling less and giving more. The little things that give existing customers a reason to buy more, to come back more often, and to tell more of their friends. Retention pays. According to Gartner, a 5% increase in retention can boost profits by 25% to 125%.

In his talk, Stan will make the business case for retention and referral based marketing strategies. Attendees will hear about customer-centric marketing lessons from leading brands such as Apple, Disney, Southwest and Zappos.

The Lies Consumers Tell UsDAN CARLTON / FOUNDER AT THE PARAGRAPH PROJECT

The consumer is finally king. But are we prepared to tell him he’s wearing no clothes?

Today’s most successful brands are finally listening to consumers and bringing them into the marketing process. However, before abdicating your brand to consumer opinion it’s important to realize that the consumer is often lying to us. They are lying to us in regards to what they really want or what they need. This is not intentional deception, rather it’s a result of consumers’ inability to understand their true motivations or articulate their desires.

This session will call attention to the various ways consumers mislead marketers, as well as provide research approaches and techniques that can identify what really drives consumer behavior and how that can lead to more powerful connections with consumers.

Breaking Down Barriers and Bringing Ideas to LifeJENI HERBERGER / FOUNDER OF THE FULCRUM AGENCY

There is no denying that great brands require strategic design AND marketing. Brands must be made visible to the masses and authentically transform them into customers. Defined as “the action of working with someone to produce or create something,” collaboration is at the heart of creating a unified vision. When brand communicators across the greater organization approach the brand promise from a common space, the ultimate result is consumer loyalty, expanded customer base and increased sales.
