Session descriptions for Y’all Connect 2017:

The Best Videos Ever and the Stories Behind Them

Taylor RobinsonTaylor Robinson: The word “story” gets thrown around quite a bit, especially in video marketing. We all know stories are powerful. We all know if you want to really grab people’s attention, you tell them a good story.

But what makes stories so powerful? Better yet, how can you make the stories you tell as powerful as possible? This session is all about the answers.

Taylor Robinson takes clients’ marketing ideas and turns them into must-watch videos, commercials and teasers. Learn how he breaks down those ideas into story elements that drive plot, characters and emotion.

Hacking the Conversation: Discover Insights Through Social Data and Grow Your Business

Jason FallsJason Falls: Most marketing campaigns are developed around guesswork. The brand or agency in question makes broad assumptions about audiences and their behaviors because qualitative market research is often cost prohibitive. But thanks to social technologies, every marketer now has access to cost-effective consumer research – that of online conversations – that can uncover the important insights that drive your customers to engage and even purchase.

In this exploration of social listening and monitoring techniques, Jason Falls will explain the difference in monitoring versus listening, show examples of insights gained by analyzing online conversations and illustrate how you, too, can take the guesswork out of digital and even broad scale marketing campaigns.
