Earlier this year, the NFL became the first major sports league to partner with Clubhouse and announced its partnership with Snapchat for the sixth year in a row ahead of the Draft. Spanning AR Lenses, Filters, Cameos and audio, social platforms are quickly becoming the new fan zones providing meaningful ways for users to react, celebrate, and express themselves with content outside of live games.

In this session, the NFL’s EVP & Chief Marketing Officer Tim Ellis sits down with Ian Trombetta, Senior Vice President, Social and Influence Marketing and Aubrey Peacock, Manager, Social Content Strategy for a deep dive into how the League is utilizing social media, specifically next-gen platforms, as an extension of their innovative brand strategy and humanizing approach to better engage both players and fans.

As marketers, we always have to reinvent the wheel. The launch and online community building for the first year of VALORANT presented many challenges and opportunities necessitating reinvention. With IRL tactics suddenly off the table, Riot Games' VALORANT team doubled down on social media to create an innovative social-first approach that won the market.

This talk with Nikki Lewis, Marketing Lead, and Casey Clough, Brand Manager, explores three examples of that; with a lens on how we view social media not as a channel, but as a forum for connection:

  • Building a brand online during COVID
  • Redefining “success” on social
  • Reaffirming our commitment to inclusivity

In the context of the current health crisis, mental health issues are becoming the norm, not the exception. It is well documented that mental health problems are on the rise globally and that pre-existing disparities in care access are only getting worse creating a stronger need for digital therapeutics. Since the onset of COVID-19, society has become more accepting of the notion that mental health is as important, if not more important, than physical health and that the two are inextricably linked and contribute to a more holistic picture of what being well means.

During this sit down, join Val Kaplan, CMO at Headspace and Natalie Silverstein, Chief Innovation Officer at Collectively as they discuss how to leverage the power of influencers to normalize conversations that have been historically taboo while also striking the right balance of brand integration. Val and Natalie will also be joined by a creator to provide their perspective developing content in collaboration with the leader in mindfulness and mental training.

Riot Games has thrived off of a player-first, empathetic value system in the context of its flagship global hit video game, League of Legends. During its 10 year anniversary in 2019, Riot announced it would be entering several new game genres, which posed the question, could Riot capture lightning in a bottle again? One of these games was VALORANT, a first-person tactical shooter game that would be entering the highly competitive genre, where brand mainstays like Call of Duty, Counterstrike and Overwatch have dominated the category.

In this session, Ali Miller, Global Influencer Lead, will be discussing how Riot approached the ground floor assembly of an entirely new gaming community, founded upon a grassroots foundation of influencer relationships. She’ll discuss how they successfully navigated the turbulent world of meeting passionate gamer expectations, and how that strategy led to the massive community it is today - all while navigating the chaos of a global pandemic.

When it comes to influencers, leading brands think small. Micro-influencers are real people with real influence. They may have smaller follower counts, but when properly activated by a brand through user-generated content, these influencers drive a sense of authenticity and brand affinity that can outperform larger content creators. Brands, like Canon, are using micro-influencers to celebrate creativity while building brand affinity with new customers.

Attend this session and learn: 

  • Explore the stats and measurables behind micro influencers
  • Understand the opportunities and challenges around activating small audience influencers
  • Dive into how Canon is using micro-influencers to build awareness, drive sales, and connect with a newer, younger audience of digital creatives

As reliance on technology to streamline and accelerate digital transformation continues to sweep the marketing industry, many wonder if influencer marketing can be automated. In its current state, most influencer marketing remains manual and archaic in its own right, but with the next wave of technology, we are beginning to see the introduction of end to end business process automation. How can brands quickly and efficiently scale the power of creators in a time where content is decentralizing and advertising is shifting to within the content rather than outside of it?

Join CEO of BEN Group and digital entertainment and influencer marketing pioneer Ricky Ray Butler along with Chief AI Evangelist Ben Taylor of Data Robot for a fireside chat on automation in influencer marketing today and the necessity of navigating this through AI and technology.

Attend this session and learn: 

  • Why the adoption of automation has been slow in influencer marketing, and how technology can be leveraged to solve the unique industry challenges
  • The role of data-driven, efficient processes and infrastructure in achieving success in influencer marketing
  • How BEN is driving ROI and automation today through AI and technology

We are seeing a seismic shift in how content is consumed and it’s becoming clear that influencers are driving that shift. With the announcement from SAG-AFTRA, the largest union in the entertainment industry, that influencers can now join the union - it’s clear that the business of content creation and influencer marketing is changing how brands reach consumers. Forbes has stated that by the year 2022, the influencer marketing industry will be worth more than $15-billion.

Consumers are turning to a different type of celebrity when they absorb oftentimes unsolicited advice. GenZ and now Millennials are following the trendsetting influencers and content creators - the community of icons who are creating viral moments and not following them. This is the creator economy who come across to their audiences almost as friends instead of celebrities because these creators know their audience and what they want to see when tuning into their channel. A content creator won’t just post a staged photo with a clearly scripted copy - their audience will find the lie and lose trust in the creator. Over the last 5 years, content creators have taken a vested interest in working as creative partners with brands instead of as paid spokespeople.

This discussion will center around the changing landscape of influencer and content creator marketing. We’ll talk with top thought leaders in the industry about the trends in the type of content influencers are making, how influencers are partnering with brands, and the value of co-creation for brands.

Social media 1.0 created somewhat of a false narrative and safety net by convincing marketers that alignment with culture was as easy as identification of influential voices and trends and deploying investment into what looked like an easy bet. Today, culture moves faster than ever, defies and scoffs at the platforms and challenges brands to reevaluate the way they communicate, operate and evaluate. 

Join James Andrews, founder of Authenticated Ventures, as he addresses key questions as we navigate this next chapter including If culture is defined by where consumers are paying attention, what are you paying attention to? If authenticity is measured by credibility, how do you know when you are respecting or disrespecting the genres and sub genres? If we have now moved into a fractured and confusing media landscape, how do you know if you have the right personnel on the team with the right skill sets?
