Keynote – Capture Consumer Engagement in a Distracted World

Presented by William Espey, Chipotle’s Brand Visionary for 19 Years

As consumers, we are living in an increasingly fragmented digital landscape, and the impact on brands is enormous. The days when companies competed primarily with direct competitors for consumers’ attention are long gone. With a door to the internet in everyone’s pocket, organizations must now compete with advertisers, social media platforms, a never-ending news cycle, viral videos, influencers, and so much more. Trying to cut through that noise with a broad-stroke approach to advertising is prohibitively expensive. It’s not enough to have an amazing product, you’ve got to engage consumers with sniper-like accuracy to succeed.

William Espey will help you understand how to strategically target the right audiences with the most compelling message—which requires knowing who and where your current and future customers are, what messaging they respond to, and how they perceive and connect with your brand.
