ANA Digital and Social Media Conference July 14, 2011

The ANA Digital & Social Media Conference will be a must-attend event for anyone who is trying to navigate their brands through this ever-changing media landscape.

Social media and viral videos have especially exploded in the last few years. Despite this rapid growth, clients have many questions and their issues include measurement, agency selection, internal org structure, and relinquishing control to the consumer while trying to influence the dialogue.

GAP BRAND INVITES SHOPPERS TO MAKE A DEAL THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA
Gap is one of the brands leading the revolution to change the way consumers shop and find deals. Gap Brand achieved record sales in one day as the first national brand to launch a deal on Groupon. Gap Brand is also taking advantage of location-based technology as they have teamed with Foursquare and with Facebook Places and Deals on their highly successful one-day free jeans giveaway. The recent launch of gapmyprice.com is another way to offer customers an opportunity to make a deal and bid their own price for Gap products.

Learn how Gap Brand uses digital and social media to connect with their deal-hungry consumers. You will also hear how Gap Brand listened to their customers after their controversial logo announcement on Facebook last year.

DOMINO'S USES DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THEIR "PIZZA TURNAROUND"
Domino's was tired of hearing customer feedback and research that told them people didn't like the taste of their pizza. Instead of defending themselves, Domino's made the tough decision to be open and honest with their customers that their product needed improvement. They developed a self-deprecating "pizza turnaround" campaign which depicted consumers vividly describing how bad the pizza was and then introduced the reformulated version. Domino's relied heavily on social media and developed a social microsite, pizzaturnaround.com. This included a live Twitter search stream which provided Domino's a great customer service and listening tool while allowing customers to naturally act as advocates for Domino's new product who helped convince others to try it. Discover how Domino's honesty paid off with the most effective ad campaign tested in years and strong sales increases.

VISA: ELEVATING SPORTS SPONSORSHIPS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT
For more than two decades, Visa has successfully utilized traditional marketing channels such as television and print in support of its sports sponsorships to connect with fans, raise brand awareness and highlight the benefits of its products and services. Enter 2010, a year in which two international sporting events - the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup - would capture the attention and hearts of audiences worldwide. With a tremendous opportunity on the horizon, Visa evolved its marketing strategy to take advantage of the increasingly valuable and powerful role that social media plays in fostering conversation among fans and connecting with consumers directly.

Addressing the challenge in its approach to the activation of each of its major sports sponsorships in 2010 (which includes the NFL in the U.S.), Visa executed integrated marketing campaigns Go World (Olympic Games), Go Fans (FIFA) and Go Fans (NFL) which each relied heavily upon social media channels to extend its message and connect with fans and cardholders worldwide.

In this session, Visa will discuss key learnings and successes from the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup and NFL , the benefits of partnerships within social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) to relevantly insert a brand into existing fan dialogue, the engagement and utilization of widely known spokespersons to amplify consumer involvement across social media channels and the role of social media within Visa's overall marketing mix.
