ANA Business Marketing Chicago

We all know how financial institutions in the Midwest set themselves apart. Or rather, how they often don’t. This session brings together marketing leaders from both our West and East coasts, to share a different story of differentiation. 
Join us for an enlightening luncheon as New York-based Drew Neisser, AdAge CMO Spotlight columnist, podcast host, author and “CMO Whisperer,” converses with San Francisco-based Ben Stuart, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for Bank of the West, dissecting the rationale for the bank’s socially engaged marketing campaign that’s brought purpose to the forefront and raised the ire of a few folks along the way.
Expect a frank, edgy conversation around:
• taking a stand for/against issues of public concern
• risks and rewards of disruptive/social-cause marketing
• conservative industry/aggressive approach
• obtaining C-level buy-in
• employee and customer response
• results to date
