It was jam-packed with great speakers from the likes of (takes a deep breath) Broadridge Financial, Carhartt, Cigna, Deloitte, GE Healthcare, Mastercard, Michelin, Northwestern Mutual, Owens Corning, Vanguard, Xerox, Captivate, CMO Confidential Podcast, Code &amp; Theory, Evidenza, LinkedIn B2B Institute, Stein IAS, System1, Type 2 Consulting among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you think it got hot in Naples, you&#8217;d be right, but not as hot as these takes from my perspective as a judge and an attendee:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>ALL THINGS AI. The best current value of AI is in customer personalization and synthetic research.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>CUSTOMER PERSONALIZATION\n<ul>\n<li>According to a recent CMO Survey, content personalization is one of the top uses for AI. Not surprisingly, two talks centered around this topic. The first from Code &amp; Theory, a highly respected tech-first creative agency. Their approach: \u201cWe need to solve for human needs, with technology as a tool. If we can make AI work for humans it will unlock a durable competitive advantage for business.\u201d They then shared a 360 CX Model to help think through ways to use AI to personalize customer experiences at every point of contact. A few different examples were mentioned, like igniting brand salience, using AI to identify ideal target audiences for media, even using it to understand category entry points to serve customers and get them closer to a transaction. They further spoke to using AI to customize messaging and tools (e.g. chat bots, calculators) to help customers feel personally seen. Code and Theory then demonstrated how AI can deepen the relationship we build with them at purchase and beyond: growing the relationship using AI to customize email messaging, customer support and more. Keep in mind, having usable, clean, accessible data is critical to maximizing AI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024.png 960w, https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>David Edelman and Mark Abraham literally wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Personalized-Customer-Strategy-Age-AI-ebook\/dp\/B0CT49NK2V\">the book on using AI for personalization<\/a>.

BRAND + DEMAND. It&#8217;s not one or the other it&#8217;s both.

To me this means that the concept is more understood than ever, actually being used, and working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A few key points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We know funnels are no longer linear, but that\u2019s not the point of this. The point is to help explain the \u201crule\u201d and the effect of strong brand marketing on ensuring growth with future cash flow.<\/li>\n<li>95\/5 \u201cRule\u201d: 95% of buyers (or the majority) are out of market, while only 5% are in market and ready to buy.<\/li>\n<li>Brand doesn\u2019t stop on the demand side. It runs through everything.<\/li>\n<li>Demand isn\u2019t the only driver of performance, brand does too, but both short and long term performance.<\/li>\n<li>Some research shows that demand-side results see a 6x improvement when brand is running at the same time.<\/li>\n<li>If we only rely on performance, we are going down a path of commoditization, where decisions are being made on price and function alone. But where is the money spent? On the demand side. Wouldn\u2019t your CEO, CFO, and business teams be happy to have more sales?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. BRAND VALUE. Brand value will diminish unless marketers show CFO&#8217;s how &amp; why strong brand building and marketing drives growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why? Because as Richard Haigh, managing director of Brand Finance, says &#8220;A business&#8217;s brand is one of its most important financial assets. Strong brands can unlock vast financial value for businesses and stakeholders.&#8221; Intrigued? This statement is also supported by data.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5887 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-4.png 960w, https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-4-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, according to a US CMO Survey from September, 2023, the biggest challenge in B2B is that Marketers don\u2019t speak finance (the language of business) so they are unable to get the budget to support the work to drive the future of the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how should markers talk to CFO\u2019s? By talking in terms of how branding and marketing drives financial value. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/business.linkedin.com\/marketing-solutions\/b2b-institute\/three-drivers-of-financial-value\">framework by the LinkedIn B2B Institute<\/a> helps marketers convey the importance of branding and marketing in CFO terms: Growth, Profit, and Risk Mitigation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GROWTH: Combination of brand + performance (demand), enhances current and future cash flows.<\/li>\n<li>PROFIT: Strong branding creates room to raise prices.<\/li>\n<li>RISK: Strong branding creates more predictability of demand, ensuring more certain cash flows, thereby reducing risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the closing slide from LinkedIn B2B institute which is also in their brand new whitepaper that launched at the conference and Cannes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5888 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-7.png 960w, https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/responseblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/A-FEW-HOT-TAKES-FROM-ANA-B2-CONFERENCE-2024-7-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want future growth, invest in mental availability because mental availability drives customer acquisition and lifetime value of customer-accelerating GROWTH.<\/li>\n<li>If you want pricing power, invest in emotional ads, because emotion drives customer willingness to PAY much more effectively than rational drivers. Side benefits: more favorable terms from suppliers, the ability to attract and retain top talent.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to mitigate risk, invest in stable brand associations, because brand associations (like intelligence, climate control, energy efficiency, energy management, sustainability, quality, excellence, being transformative, etc.) enhance brand equity and value, leading to more predictable demand and cash flow, and therefore MITIGATING RISK.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4.
