  • How Cisco is Powering an Inclusive Future

    Conference

    Presented by Patti Cocciolo, Senior Director, Global Brand Marketing at Cisco Systems, Inc.

    Launched in the fall of 2018, The Bridge to Possible is the most effective brand campaign in Cisco’s history—highlighting the company’s thought leadership, technology, innovation, customers and people. In January 2020, Cisco announced its new company purpose: To Power an Inclusive Future for All. Little did they know how prophetic their pronouncement would be with COVID 19 gripping the world just weeks later. Since its inception, The Bridge to Possible campaign has featured stories about women, particularly those overcoming challenges against the odds. In this session, we hear how Cisco’s in-house agency, The Hatch, evolved the campaign to reflect the new company purpose while continuing to share stories about inspirational women who are using Cisco technology to make the world a better place.

  • Making Time for Creative

    Webinar

    Presented by J.D. Schupp, Head of Production at Walmart Films, Walmart 

    Great creative takes great ideas, but it also takes something that’s much harder to make…time. Expedited timelines, unrealistic deadlines, and sometimes-impractical expectations of what’s possible are all too common in our fast-paced “have to have it now” world. With no sign of a slowdown, how do you make time? In this relatable webinar, Walmart Films’ head of production, J.D. Schupp, talks about the good, the bad and the serendipitous when it comes to producing big ideas with a small team under the unrelenting pressures of time. Best of all, hear how the crew at Walmart Films maintain their motivation (and the smiles on their faces) at the end of the day.

  • Thinking Beyond the System

    Conference

    Presented by Roger Hyde, Adjunct Professor at NYU Tisch Art & Public Policy

    How many times have we heard the cliché: “think outside the box”? And yet, how many times has true creative potential been mired in conventional expectations of staying within the guidelines? From a creative’s perspective, it’s hard to know whether the earth is flat or not if no one has ever been to the edge to see it for themselves. This session challenges conventional thinking around what constitutes creative success and failure, and how we might refocus our energy from enforcing guidelines to truly inspiring teams to reach further and further.

    This is the story of how the in-house agency at Nestlé Purina, a corporate staple for over 30 years, successfully convinced marketing to take a fresh look at how campaigns are conceived and produced. It takes courage to push for change, especially when changing the underlying belief system of an entire organization. By partnering in new ways across the agency as well as with key influencers and workgroups companywide, this team overcame barriers to connectivity while opening doors to creativity—proving once and for all that fresh thinking and creative insight can come from within!
