What a strong first day at the Brand Strategy Conference in New York. There were lots of great ideas and very little free time!

The kickoff presentation on the first day was from Kodi Foster, Vice President – Data Strategy at Viacom. Kodi’s presentation focused on fusing creativity and data innovation to drive brand growth.  His discussion on the need to integrate science and art was on the money.

  2. Information – Delivers facts or knowledge about something or someone
  3. Entertainment – Provides amusement or enjoyment
  4. Inspiration – Stimulates the audience to do or feel something
  5. Utility – Provides a useful or beneficial function or capability
