Why You Should Be at iMedia’s Brand Summit this September
Where can you go to meet more than 140 senior level marketing executives from major brand companies controlling billions of dollars worth of interactive marketing budgets?
Probably nowhere else other than iMedia’s Brand Summit, September 14 – 17, at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort.
Now in its seventh year, the Brand Summit’s primary goal is to bring together brand marketing executives with peers and solution providers to share ideas and tackle hard issues surrounding the integration and application of interactive media in their overall marketing mix. iMedia’s Brand Summits deliver a dynamic combination of session content featuring top-level speakers and numerous opportunities for networking between marketers and solution providers in an exclusive, invitation-only environment.
Content That Tackles Timely Opportunities and Challenges
As with every Brand Summit, an Advisory Board of industry executives meets with iMedia staff months before the Summit to map out the conference theme and major issues to be addressed. The goal is to create a program that not only provides targeted, actionable insight on the industry’s current issues, but does so in a way that encourages all attendees to participate and contribute to the dialogue.
The Advisory Board is composed of following industry thought leaders:
Jonathan Adams, VP, Director – Media, Digitas
Sean Cheyney, VP, Marketing & Business Development, AccuQuote
Jarvis Coffin, CEO, BURST! Media
John Durham, CEO/Managing Partner, Catalyst: SF
Tom Hespos, President, Underscore Marketing
