Session 1E - ‘Wine as a social bond’ Engaging wine buyers through virtual brand communities and other e-based channels
Dr Roberta Veale
23rd 14:45 - 15:45
When a product category or activity becomes highly meaningful for consumers, communities emerge around it. This interaction is now facilitated by the Internet (but seldom exclusive to it). This has empowered consumers and enabled them to build a stronger stakeholder group, giving them a louder voice. A major implication of this is that consumers are very active in creating brand meanings and marketing managers exert far less direct control.In this presentation Dr Veale will discuss control and influence, who moderates eWOM discussion and how to keep information flowing..

Jon Steel
23rd 17:30 - 19:00
Our industry is changing rapidly, and many of the old rules no longer apply. Each and every week we’re introduced to a new device, a new technology, a new way of connecting. But just because we can use all these new toys, Jon will argue it doesn’t mean that we should. At its heart, marketing communication is about making connections with real people, in the real world, and the best lessons about how to get it right lie not in technological possibility, but rather in our human experience.

Sudeep Gohil

How many times have we heard ‘showing a better understanding of our business needs’ or ‘demonstrating key insights into our target’ as rationales from clients when switching agencies...so why is Strategy Planning the least well defined, most misunderstood, most revered, most feared and most ‘un-costable’ discipline in communications today?

Chris Taylor
24th 14:00 - 15:15
In the fragmented world of media, fierce competition for eyeballs by the media and advertisers has never been greater. Keeping up with trends and staying ahead of the game is critical to the success of all outlets, and in particular for "traditional" media. TV viewing has increased thanks to multi-channelling over the past 2 years and the internet. A free-to-air television network must bring together its current assets and invest in potential new ones to ensure that they stay relevant and attractive to the masses. This is vital for the future of their industry and the continuation of investment in quality content.

Prashant Hari, Cloud 9 Creationz & Colmar Brunton This presentation showcases some of the remarkable changes happening in the digital sphere, how people can use, implement and collaborate with others within the digital space using social media to start a global brand…locally! It also looks into how businesses and corporations can start understanding some of the vast changes happening within the digital space by better understanding what’s happening and how to stay on top. Connect with those who add value to your brand and business, and ultimately harness the exciting changes happening for their personal and professional benefits. This is a practical case-study which uses real life examples across social networks like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIN and others to bring to life the paradigm shift affecting all advertisers, marketers and researchers. True customer collaboration Bob Sharma, Telstra Many industry commentators have asked when research will get into the boardroom. Who cares really if research is in the boardroom as long as the customer view gets in there! No true customer connection is possible without pain and no real connection can be made via a one off, 15 minute online survey with a customer once a year. It takes time, it takes multiple conversations or interactions, it takes an ability to listen, it takes two way communication, it takes trust, it takes patience and strong analysis. This presentation will demonstrate that customer experience research can affect business change through encouraging simplicity.

Session 3D - Five personal decisions which will impact every aspect of your marketing career
Dr James Cowley
25th 14:00 - 15:15
Changes of colossal proportions are taking place which will impact the entirety of marketing as we know it. For the vast number of companies, these issues are not even being debated and those that recognise some of them are just starting to scratch the surface. Because we are locked into mindsets and theories of marketing that predominantly describe the past, we hardly recognise the impact these changes will bring. This session will discuss five major changes, each one focusing our minds on a very focussed decision that we have to take away, think about and make. The result of that decision will impact the absolute fundamentals of how we will individually approach marketing in the next decade. Most people don’t even recognise there are decisions to make; many will revert to the safety and road to oblivion of the past. But some will recognise the size of these changes, and the opportunity they afford, and how radically new thinking could be joined to the best of existing practice. Presented by Emerging Marketers, a special interest group of the Australian Marketing Institute Registration includes afternoon tea with the Marketing Week exhibitors, 3.15pm to 3.45pm Session 3D and 3E delegates

Session 3F - Keynote Presentation - Dare to dream
Nick Baker
25th 17:15 - 18:45
Oprah was one of those dare to dream projects that came true. From the day Oprah’s Ultimate Australian Adventure was announced, it ignited a spark that drew the country and industry together to host one of the world’s most influential people and 302 of Ms Winfrey’s ultimate viewers. Logistically it was a huge undertaking, involving a myriad of stakeholders, but in the end it was a success and it demonstrated the very essence of the brand there’s nothing like Australia. Core to the visit was to make compelling television content that would inspire people around the world to visit our country and to integrate this with online content and tactical campaign activity that would convert the interest into actual visits. For Australians, we wanted to ensure that the country would be featured in a way that would make them proud. The results so far have been phenomenal with Oprah’s four hour television love-fest highlighting what is great about Australia in her words, not ours.
