Panel Debate: Automation - Friend or Foe?
The industry has seen significant development of ad products, especially with Google, on utilizing more automation when it comes to creating, launching, and optimizing paid media campaigns. This shift has taken away more control from marketers. Should we really trust Google/Twitter algorithms to serve the “best” content and to make the right choices with campaign optimization? What's the right balance of automation and marketer control? Hear what these marketers have to say in this “debate-style” panel discussion.

Roundtable: Automation: Friend or Foe?
Should we really trust Google/Twitter algorithms to serve the “best” content? Or are we being overly targeted with “personalized” content that inherently voids out “free speech” or non-biased opinions, which does not give the user the ability to decide what they want to see or believe. Marketers debate the pros and cons of digital automation.

Case Study: Becoming Relevant via Cultural Moments
Like many brands today, H&R Block wanted to boost their perception with a younger audience. In 2021, there were changes to the NCAA’s Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rules. Being able to earn income off of their NIL meant a big payday for college athletes, and with that, tax consequences. This gave the tax preparation company a real opportunity to connect with consumers through a cultural moment. Pierson Curtis, H&R’s director of growth marketing, will share how a culturally relevant, purpose-driven campaign helped them drive performance across paid, earned, and owned channels.
