Now in its fourth year, this half day forum will include a keynote address and 4 case studies offering actionable, solution-oriented recommendations for planning, creating, implementing and measuring successful cross media programs. Each case study will include the viewpoint of the agency, the publisher and/or the client and will discuss why the campaign was not only considered successful in its results, but also why it was a winning integrated campaign.
