4A's To Bring Together Communications Pros, Top Ad Trade Journalists And Industry Leaders For 2018 Agency Communications Summit
Biennial Conference to Take Place on October 30 in NYC
NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The 4A's, the leading trade organization for marketing communications agencies, will host the biennial Agency Communications Summit on October 30 at Convene at 32 Old Slip in New York City. This year's conference will offer communications and public relations professionals the opportunity to meet leading journalists covering the advertising, marketing and media industries, as well as connect with industry leaders to discuss the critical topics influencing how agencies tell their stories.
The Agency Communications Summit will provide critical insights for agencies in how to build and maintain the most productive relationships with their media counterparts.
"The role of the corporate communications in media coverage has never been more hotly debated," said Jeremy Miller, Chief Communications Officer, McCann Worldgroup, who serves as co-chair of the 4A's Agency Communications Committee. "The way journalism is delivered and consumed is changing every day, which makes our ability to advocate for the success of our agencies and the work we create increasingly complex. We need to be deeply engaged with the journalists who cover the advertising, marketing and media industries and understand their process for reporting on our business."
In addition to "Get to Know" sessions with top trade journalists, the program also offers a comprehensive exploration of the critical topics facing communications professionals and their organizations, from cutting through the 24-hour news cycle to messaging in the #MeToo movement, the importance of PR to agencies, new business and the creative process, as well as the influence of social media.
Keynote speakers will include Charles Day, founder of The LookinGlass; Michelle Guida, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Public Affairs, U.S. Department of State; and Keith Reinhard, Chairman Emeritus, DDB Worldwide.
