Following a 19-year career on the basketball court that included leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three championship titles, O’Neal has branched out into music, acting, clothing, books and jewelry. He co-hosts TNT’s popular “Inside the NBA” and has his own show, “Upload With Shaquille O’Neal,” on TruTV, and serves as The Cartoon Network’s “Commissioner of Sport.” O’Neal – whose LinkedIn profile lists his title as CEO and President of Alot of Different Companies, Inc. – has inked partnerships and endorsements with Macy’s, Gold Bond, Reebok, AriZona -Beverages and Monster Audio. After completing undergraduate studies at Louisiana State University , Shaq earned an M.B.A. from the online University of Phoenix and a doctorate in education from Barry University . O’Neal is currently studying for LSATs and at 42 plans to attend law school. He was earlier this year featured on the cover of Bloomberg Business Week, which listed his current annual earnings from branding at $21.2 million and quotes him as saying he is leveraging such deals more successfully today than during his years in the NBA.

10:05 am ENTERTAINMENT & CONTENT 2015: MILLENNIALS & GEN Z

Marketers have barely begun to figure out millennials, a generation so nuanced their media and consumer habits differ from each other, as much as they do from that of previous generations, but already, a new demographic has begun to emerge that will prove just as challenging: Gen Z. Key to engaging this new group of consumers is content. Great content must resonate with consumers, in order for them to believe it, share it, and reflect positively on your brand. This panel will explore what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned about Millennials and Gen Z so far, through the lens of the entertainment content: Movies, Video, Music, Gaming and more.

KEYNOTE — THE URBAN LEGEND OF FREE SOCIAL MARKETING Jordan Kretchmer, CEO, Livefyre

In a time where our attention span is shorter than that of a goldfish, many marketers think they must share more and more content to a highly distractible audience. But with organic reach plummeting, chances are your audience still won’t see your content unless you throw more money at social networks. By investing in your owned and operated properties and shifting the focus from the quantity of real-time content to the quality of real-time content, you can earn organic followers that persist beyond a campaign.

11:45 am

DIGITAL 2015: DATA, CONTENT, COMMERCE & CONNECTIVITY

The biggest digital marketing topics in 2014 ranged from big data to content marketing, but as we start the new year, the question on all our minds is which trends and buzzwords will will dominate conversations in 2015. As our practices evolve, ‘Big Data’ will become “Small Data” and “Purposeful Data.” The importance and of, and emphasis on, Content Marketing will continue to increase, as brands establish ‘newsrooms’ and devote more time and resources into producing original content on social, emerging, and traditional media. The mobile-first consumer gave way to the mobile first marketer, but how will that thinking change as we enter the era of the “always-connected?” Listen closely as we explore the biggest digital trends and topics marketers need to know for 2015, with the backdrop of the technological innovation showcased at CES.

INNOVATION IN RETAIL, COMMERCE & PAYMENTS

After years of speculation and games of “Will they / won’t they?” Apple finally launched mobile payments in 2014, effectively taking control of a hotly contested market from early entrants like Softcard, Google Wallet, and the Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX), in one fell swoop. 2014 also saw Square launch new features and poach Kevin Burke from Visa, Taco Bell launch a new mobile app, complete with mobile payments, and Burger King began accepting PayPal. But mobile payments and commerce are just beginning to transform the retail experience, and our last panel of the day will look at what’s in store for this nascent but exciting area, how else the retail and commerce business is evolving, what you need to know about virtual cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, and how these new means of payment can open other doors for brands, including loyalty programs and new consumer data sets.
