The concept of a “brand” is no longer taboo at B2B companies. In fact, strong B2B brands outperform weaker ones by as much as 20%, according to recent research by McKinsey.

As a result, your brand is too often left either underfunded or on the back-burner altogether.
We’re going to help you solve this. In this presentation you’ll learn:
- How your brand can boost demand generation and other key performance indicators
- The elements of a B2B brand and how those are different from traditional consumer branding
- How to elevate your brand through B2B marketing channels and brand advocates
- Metrics to track the impact of your brand

More startup agencies are emerging that offer competitive prices and good quality creative work for clients. Online gamers are earning significant money through playing games. While metaverse and virtual characters remained hyped, the trend was not as significant as the prior year. Consumers expect real actions from brands rather than just motivational messages. Affiliate marketing is booming to build trust and sales. Doctors are increasingly providing consultations over social media. Some Indonesian brand campaigns went viral internationally.
Building an enduring, multi-billion dollar consumer technology company is hard. As an investor, knowing which startups have the potential to be massive and long-lasting is also hard. From both perspectives, identifying companies with this potential is a combination of “art” and “science” — the art is understanding how products work, and the science is knowing how to measure it. At the earliest stages of a company, it comes down to understanding how a product is built to maximize and leverage user engagement.
In this presentation, Sarah Tavel shares her "Hierarchy of Engagement" framework she uses to evaluate non-transactional consumer companies she is looking to invest in.

A content strategy is the path to meeting goals and priorities what content initiatives will and will not be pursued. The content strategy process involves assessment, analysis, architecture, implementation, and maintenance.

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!

This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.
A Planner's Playbook - Everything I learned about planning at Miami Ad School...Sytse Kooistra
After being in advertising for 4 years, I needed some new guidance and inspiration as a strategist. And that is exactly what I found: I spent the summer of 2013 with 17 other (soon to be) planners from all over the world attending the Account Planning Bootcamp at Miami Ad School New York.
Thanks to the 38 industry heroes and instructors that shared their knowledge and coached us in those 3 months, I learned more than I ever could imagine about planning.
'A Planner's Playbook' is my attempt to summarize all that wisdom in 30 short nuggets (or plays, to stick with the metaphor of a playbook) and share it with you. I left out all the difficult frameworks and models and kept in simple by just stating, in my opinion (and in that of my instructors), what a planner should be and do.

The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"

The document provides principles for presenting data in the clearest way possible: tell the truth and ensure credibility with data; get to the main point by drawing meaning from the data; pick the right tool like pie, bar, or line graphs depending on the data; highlight what's important by keeping slides focused on conclusions, not all data; and keep visuals simple to avoid distractions.
Rand Fishkin discusses why content marketing often fails and provides 5 key reasons: 1) Unrealistic expectations of how content marketing works, 2) Creating content without a community to amplify it, 3) Focusing on content creation but not amplification, 4) Ignoring search engine optimization, and 5) Giving up too soon and not allowing time for content to gain traction. He emphasizes that content marketing is a long-term process of building relationships and that most successful content took years of iteration before gaining significant reach.

How I stopped worrying about the future, and got busy inventing itBud Caddell
The document discusses trends in marketing and the future of the agency model. It notes that the pace of technological change has accelerated dramatically in recent decades, with new communication channels like mobile internet and social media disrupting traditional advertising models. This has led to an abundance of choices for consumers but also a scarcity of attention. The presentation argues that for marketing to be successful today, it must ignite networks of consumers connected by shared interests, purposes, social interactions and earned media, rather than relying solely on paid advertising or owned websites.
The Definitive Inspiration Engine for the Creative CommunityBud Caddell
The document outlines plans to build an "inspiration engine" website to serve the creative community. It will provide two main types of content:
1) "Flow content" in the form of a daily stream of novel articles on various topics aggregated from other sources. This will make up the bulk of daily content.
2) "Stock content" in the form of in-depth long-form articles worth bookmarking. Writers producing this type of content will be courted.
The document discusses challenges with each content type and strategies for addressing them, such as categorization, incentivizing writers, and designing pages to encourage deep engagement and sharing of content. The goal is to create an addictive and highly

Digital Media isn't Mass Media for CheapBud Caddell
The document criticizes digital and mass media companies for treating the web like traditional advertising platforms. It argues that the web was not built for commercials or banner ads, and that lasting success in the digital space requires a long-term commitment to building genuine fan relationships rather than just buying temporary audiences. The document advocates treating the web as a science lab and focusing on listening, rewarding participation, and collecting relationships instead of just distributing new commercials.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR,
@Bud_Caddell
I’m currently SVP, Director of Invention and Director of
Digital Strategy at Deutsch LA. I was listed by Business
Insider as the most creative person, under 30, in advertising.
Adweek listed me in their top 50 industry professionals of
2012. The Guardian placed me in their 10 digital strategists
to watch in 2013.
I’ve been earning a paycheck from the web, in one form or
another, for the last 17 years. I owe any professional success
to the web and to the generous people who have used it to
freely share what they know with others. With this
presentation, I’m trying to pay back some of that kindness
by giving away whatever I know about the relatively young
and constantly evolving field of digital strategy. I am by no
means an expert, but I have spent several years as an
amateur. I hope you find this useful and I hope someday you
too feel compelled to share all of your secrets.

But what is digital and what are the benefits, exactly?
12. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 12
Once upon a time, digital
was a room. Then, much
later, with the birth of the
web, digital became a
marketing channel just like
TV, radio, and print.
13. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 13
Today, thanks to mobile
and other connected
devices, digital is a
persistent layer of our daily
lives. All media are now
digital and all experiences
can be digital now, too.
14. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 14
Which means that as long as
we don’t design dead ends
(e.g. watch our TV spot that
drives to our website where
you can get a link to our
mobile app that interacts with
our print ads), brand
experiences never have to end.
15. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 15
Mass media was designed so that every
time we have something to say, we have
to pay to assemble an audience (like
buying thirty seconds during your
favorite TV show). In digital, we have
the ability to collect relationships with
our customers (in full view of their
friends) with every single thing that we
do. Which means, in theory, that the
more we do, the cheaper it becomes to
connect with our customers over time.
16. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 16
Perhaps best of all, in digital
communication can flow both ways,
which has empowered a new breed of
more active (and sometimes more
demanding) consumers. Brands that
have courted these consumers are
already reaping the rewards. For
example, in five years Starbucks has
elicited over 150,000 ideas which have
generated millions of dollars in new
product sales.
17. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 17
But while digital has unleashed
a new renaissance of creativity
and opportunity, it has also
lead to an explosion of
channels and messages all
seeking our attention.
18. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 18

Moreover, with DVRs and ad-
blocking software, we no longer
have the luxury of a captive
audience. Everything we do has
to be remarkable, attention-
earning, and sharable.
20. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 20
Fear not though, what can be
digital is almost as limitless as
what digital can do to capture
the imagination, grow
business, and build brands.
How about a digital toaster that
prints today’s weather forecast?
21. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 21
And anything we create in digital is
open to measurement, learning, and
ultimately iteration. Nothing is finished
and nothing is final. If Twitter can launch
like this and become the world’s water
cooler, the success of our efforts are
only limited to the scale of our ambition
and persistence.
22. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 22
Today, digital is a participatory layer of
all media that allows users to self-select
their own experiences, and affords
marketers the ability to bridge media,
gain feedback, iterate their message, and
collect relationships.
23. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 23
So, well then, let’s try defining
digital strategy one more time.
24. DIGITAL STRATEGY 101, FIRST EDITION BY @BUD_CADDELL 24
A digital strategy is the who, what,
when, and where of listening and
responding to consumers, bridging
brand experiences, iterating offerings,

The factors which most influence a
desired outcome
Sometimes you have the ability to
influence sales directly with digital (like
when a client sells their product online),
but in other cases you have to influence
sales more indirectly. In those instances,
the work should be focused to impact
the leverage points of the purchase.
For example, when buying a new car,
consumers can be influenced by the
sticker price, the reviews of experts,
suggestions by friends, and the cultural
signal that the car denotes. All of which
can be acted upon to further the
likelihood of a final sale.

the tub via the faucet, the rate of water leaving the tub via the drain, and the size of
the tub itself. Each of these factors could be called a leverage point in how fast a tub
fills with water.
Sometimes you have the ability to
influence sales directly with digital (like
when a client sells their product online),
but in other cases you have to influence
sales more indirectly. In those instances,
the work should be focused to impact
the leverage points of the purchase.
For example, when buying a new car,
consumers can be influenced by the
sticker price, the reviews of experts,
suggestions by friends, and the cultural
signal that the car denotes. All of which
can be acted upon to further the
likelihood of a final sale.

One way to measure a brand’s impact in
culture
Anything we do in digital should have
hard measures (downloads, views,
shares) etc. but overall brand health is a
fuzzier thing. By keeping a finger on the
social pulse of the web, we can better
understand how consumers perceive the
brand and how culturally relevant the
brand is at any moment.

DEFINITION USE
A fresh and true observation that unlocks
creativity
Insights are the oily rags and lit matches
of the advertising creative process.
Without them, there’d be no creative fire
power. But often, non-insights
masquerade in briefs as insights.
Takeaways, key messages, tag lines,
strategy statements, and outright
falsehoods are NOT insights. Insights
have to be fresh (so not occupied
territory), true (so not bullshit), and
must unlock your team’s creativity
(different for every group). Insights
come from three places: category
conventions, cultural tensions, and
consumer motivations.

so they’ll smell good. With that truth, it makes perfect sense that a hot half-dressed

As you’re developing a brief for

know and represent which interests are
most prevalent among groups of
consumers and how those interests
connect individuals in those groups to
others. For example, research could
show that for 25 year old men, content
that features handlebar mustaches is
frequently shared in an ironic manner
while content featuring custom
motorcycles is shared most often in an
aspirational way. Additionally, brands
should have a fully formed interest

share a yearning for connection. Third, communities (especially the strong ones) are
exclusive in some way. Fourth, communities typically have an engaged and active
leader. Lastly, communities share common activities.

DEFINITION USE
The likelihood that a piece of content will
be shared across digital platforms by
specific groups of people
You shouldn’t create any content
without a target in mind and without
exploring why that target would feel
compelled to share that content with
their friends. People share content for
three reasons: 1) Because it strengthens
their bonds with others (e.g. if I share a
piece of content with you I’m not just
telling you I like it, I’m telling you that I
like you, too), 2) Because it defines a
collective identity (e.g. Star Wars fans),
and 3) Because it gives them status (e.g.
for finding it first, or being the person
that finds funny videos).

EXAMPLE
The internet wasn’t built with
commercial breaks, which means our job
as marketers is to find people in the flow
of their day and be relevant to the
context we find them. We also have to
be mindful to not build experiences
outside where users want to spend their
time.
I started my day by reading my Facebook newsfeed. From there I clicked a link my
friend posted and visited ‘The 10 Cutest Animals in the World’ on Buzzfeed. After
reading about a new movie release and catching a post on 80’s fashion (which I had
to send to my friend Denise), I checked out CNN.com for the latest news.

exciting, remarkable, and inspiring. There’s no
such thing as a perfect brief, only a brief that
unleashes directed creativity and those that
