Businesses don't have to have a perfect five-star rating to have a five-star state of mind. In fact, it's a mentality that any business can adopt regardless of your current rating today. It's all about setting goals for customer service excellence, developing a strategy for dealing with customer feedback, and getting reviews organically.

Presenter: Richard Irving, Hulu, Vice President, Product Management TV used to be a medium of one-to-the-masses as defined by the limitations of technology. Today, technology has afforded us the ability to watch the content we want, when we want on the device of our choice. Despite the changes in viewer consumer behavior thanks to the proliferation of over-the-top devices, the TV viewing experience has remained largely unchanged for years. In a hyper-personal, one-to-one world the TV for the masses no longer applies. Join Richard Irving, Hulu’s VP of Product, as he takes you on the journey of the evolution of the television experience. In this session Richard will provide a glimpse into what it took to develop an entirely new viewing experience from ideation to design to product execution.

Presenters: Ron Gross, The Distillery, Creative Director/Director When you’re engrossed in a movie or TV show, it’s not stunning camera work, an original score, or flawless acting that glues you to the screen. While those things are all important, it’s the plot — the storytelling — that makes you want to watch till the end. Knowing this, why does the world continue to churn out talking heads, bullet points, trite b-roll shots and the other dreary habits of most corporate web videos? Changing all that for the better is the story behind this session led by film and commercials director (and SVC instructor) Ron Gross of The Distillery.

Presenter: Rahmin Eslami, Hornall Anderson Executive Creative Director We spend countless hours toiling over our work. But then we do something strange, even stupid. We take all that hard work, passion and our shiny creative alchemy, and march it into its debut with little-to-no preparation. We say, “The work should stand on its own…”, as though Darwin is suddenly in the conference room. Then it happens — you have a terrible presentation, the work dies, and you have to start over. This outcome is avoidable, and Rahmin Eslami, executive creative director at Hornall Anderson and SVC instructor, will advise you on how steer clear of creative presentation misfires with a bit of preparation and practice.

The “Creative Thinking for the 21st Century” presentation, given at the AFACCT Conference in January 2015, examined how educators can embed 21st century skills into their teaching curriculum. The goal was to show that by using innovative teaching and learning processes students gain skills in collaboration and team building, enhanced communication through presentation, and applied analysis of information. Teaching and learning strategies to engage students to think differently about their own learning and to move beyond critical thinking to creative thinking was emphasized.

Culture is everywhere we look, and (perhaps more importantly) everywhere we don’t look. It informs our work, our purchases, our usage, our expectations, our comfort, and our communications (indeed, if you aren’t familiar with a specific geographic and historical set of experiences, the presumably clever title for this talk will instead be perhaps bland). In this presentation, Steve will explore the ways we can experience, observe, and understand diverse cultures to foster successful collaborations, usable products, and desirable experiences.

The cobbler’s children and their lack of shoes is an overused reference but so handy as a quaint way to say, ‘we’re too busy doing work for other people to focus on ourselves.’ When Tether was founded more than fourteen years ago, a temporary logo and website was hastily created in order to have something to make Tether look legitimate. And, you guessed it, that temporary logo and website became permanent for way too long.

There is a massive shift happening in the social and media space as GenZ and Younger Millennials are shifting their time and attention away from traditional social platforms and leaning into healthier, community-based options. The trust in news and influencers is on the decline, and this is changing the landscape quickly. From a brand perspective, all of the iOS and Android changes are forcing marketers to rethink targeting, audiences and shift toward interests, passions and other signals. These two forces (consumer and marketer shifts), along with the economy, are creating the most important inflection point for businesses and people in over a decade.

History is not simply a chronology of events that happened in a particular order. History is a meticulously curated phenomenon of power. How history is created -and who gets to tell that story- has one of the most significant impacts on our society. But we never talk about it. In this talk, we’re going to! We will explore how history is constructed and how we can use that knowledge to create the legacy for which we want to be remembered. We will learn about the roles of presence and absence in history-making and how those who leverage those roles often control power. We will also discuss practical ways in which we can all reclaim our personal agency and drive the narrative that will become our lives, our families, and our society. Learning Objectives: + Discover the secrets to history-making that have remained unchanged for centuries. + Learn how to actively write your own story in the way you’d wish to be remembered. + Take-away four techniques to help harness the power of your own story."

The constant pressure on marketers to prove return on ad spend (ROAS) is receiving particular emphasis heading into 2023. Economic headwinds are signaling uncertainty, retail is transforming rapidly as shoppers return to stores after over two years of quarantine and a mainstay of digital advertising — third-party cookies — are continuing to collapse.

Are you still manually managing granular campaigns, but your ROAS are dropping? With the progress of Artificial Intelligence over the past few years, machines can now predict trends and make automated decisions in real-time. With this, it is crucial for advertisers to explore this new modern approach. By making the shift from overly segmented targeting and using too many keywords, to a simplified and more efficient account structure, you’re allowing machine learning to work to its best ability. In this session, Ashley Royalty, Director of Add3SHOP, will discuss modern practices and full-funnel activations that helped transform brands like IT Cosmetics, Nuun, and Elemis into million-dollar assets.

As the market has become saturated with advertisements for consumers, leaning into pop culture has proved to be the key to standing apart, especially since 38% of people consider brand involvement in pop culture either important or very important. Still, many brands opt to stay on the conservative side and avoid taking big (albeit culturally relevant) risks. When The Narrative Group took a seemingly “boring” product like yogurt and made it bold by championing the sometimes controversial “cannabis holiday” with Harmless Harvest’s “Harmless Hits Different” Pack a Bowl campaign for 4/20, they were met with 168M earned media impressions, 11M influencer impressions, and record-breaking sales. The success continued with their “thirstiest summer” campaign promoting their coconut water, tapping into “thirst traps” and recognizing “the thirst is real” with their consumers, and logging over 3M impressions in the first 3 months alone. Rebecca can share why bold, culturally relevant, and sometimes “risky” ideas can lead to the most successful campaigns. At the end of this session, the audience will be able to: + Understand what “brand swagger” is and how you can use that confidence and boldness to boost your brand and campaigns + Navigate and find the right threshold for trying new ideas that still align with the brand + Develop a strategy to connect to an audience who “gets it” - building trust with your current audience but also expanding to new ones

The Metaverse will require more content than we can realistically build manually, and it will need to be dynamically generated, personalised and completely interactive. This talk focuses on two groundbreaking projects: Creating an entirely AI-generated and interactive TV show and our inevitable future of 3D streamed media, specifically interactive streamed volumetric sports broadcasts. Adam will show how both projects work under the hood with live demos of the technology and breakdowns of the key points. Components include procedural cinematography, shot evaluation, ML pose estimation, dialogue and narrative synthesis, touch interactivity, intuitive UX and the challenges of streaming huge amounts of content to mobile devices. You’ll see what will hopefully be the very first, fully AI-generated TV show running 24 hours a day and never before presented versions of the latest Metacast technology, transforming how media is broadcast.

As the amount of personal data we produce continues to grow, so does the sophistication of the technology used to collect it. However, this ever-expending ecosystem of customer data is becoming so complex that few people actually understand how it all works, creating a widening divide between the data haves and haven-nots. To level the playing field, we’ll explain how customer data is used for personalization and targeted marketing in words that even a 5-year-old can understand—literally. In this session, we’ll tell the story of Parker, a data manifestation who travels through the strange world of the digital information on a journey to find his way home. Along the way, we’ll explain concepts like Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), predictive modeling, data on-boarding and more. It’s a story the whole family can enjoy, including technologists, marketers and privacy advocates.

Grant Munro (Speaker) Senior Vice President, Shutterstock Custom, Shutterstock With increased digital media consumption, comes increased expectations. Brands are challenged on a daily basis to share engaging visual media across all social channels. In this imagery-driven environment, we have seen video come out on top as the most valued type of content. While video is expected to continue to grow, another major consideration is the increased importance of personalization. Personalization requires brands to look at content differently. How do you scale the required content while meeting the personalization needs that brands are looking for? This talk will discuss strategies that brands are using to localize and personalize content as it becomes an increasingly crucial element of consumer engagement and loyalty.
