| Event name: | They’re Not Listening: The Digital Generation |
| Sponsors: | A collaborative Luncheon with the Akron Advertising Federation |
| Description: | As the lines blur between entertainment and marketing, the digital generation has become invested in characters, experiences, stories that go well beyond traditional means. This new place Al Gore invented called "the internet" is something mega-companies are just beginning to discover. In the process, companies are walking a thin line between making it better, and just making it noisier. Join us as we welcome Josh Spear from Undercurrent, one of the youngest marketing strategists in the world. Spear is regularly sought out for his fresh perspective and no-holds-barred style of consulting on everything from design and gadgets to authenticity and word-of-mouth for clients like McDonald’s, Leo Burnett, Columbia College, NBC, Pepsi and Virgin. |
