Luncheon Panel - 360 Media Integration

“Do your homework”, is a phrase that brings back memories of mom scolding you as she leaning over you at the kitchen table.  That same advice was a common theme at the March 4, “360 Integration Luncheon”, where an expert panel shared tips and insights. Panalist, Beth Egan Managing Partner-Account Director, MEC Global; emphasized the value in understanding a potential client’s history, who they target and how a seller can bring relevance to an advertising program.  Advertisers are often looking for the most contextual way to showcase their product.  Unique placements and ad units that change the current landscape are valuable to clients, per Mendez.

An audience of 50+ media sellers, content producers and marketing executives reviewed case studies on Nissan Motors and highlights of Turners PGA multi-media program, while getting a peak at the insights that lead to successful campaigns and tips for building and selling-in great ideas.  In a sense this luncheon was a great lesson in the value of 'do your homework'.

The panel was led by Arbitron’s VP Pierre Bouvard.  Other experts included.  Beth Donnelly Egan, Managing Partner-Account Director, MEC Global; Jack Flanagan, Executive Vice President, comScore’s Media Metrix; Oswald Mendez, Managing Partner, Director Integrated Communications, The Vidal Partnership and Stacey Schulman, Sr. Vice President, Turner Research.
