2020 Annual Conference
NEW TRUTHS + OLD TRUTHS
What “new” truths have we learned during the endless months of Covid that will help reimagine marketing? What “old” truths are as or even more valid than ever? At the ANA NYC 9th Annual Conference, a galaxy of stars explored the truths, new and old, that we dare disregard at our peril. Our speakers and panelists addressed all the areas featured here with a singular intent: to help us understand and take away together what will help marketers work with purpose and relevance – and help us reimagine a new world.
