News or Not? Navigating Native in the Grey Zone

Monday, March 16
9:30AM - 10:30AM

Hyatt Regency Austin
Texas Ballroom 4-7
208 Barton Springs Rd

The latest media evolution has occurred on the paid side, where prestigious media outlets have come to embrace content communications/marketing. FORTUNE, Forbes and even The New York Times have all built native advertising platforms. For brands, "native" has become a transformative play in their communications as paid media is being called upon to deliver the kind of third-party endorsement that used to be earned. Native supports thought leadership to product promotion and even favorite recipes. Navigating this complicated and still-developing world of content communications and marketing requires original thinking and strategic communications innovation. Sebastian Tomich, VP of Advertising & Branded Content for The New York Times, leads the national integrated sales teams, and Mark Howard of Forbes Media who is responsible for Forbes native platform, discuss the ideal strategies for brands to win in this new environment. Stephanie Agresta,MSLGROUP,will be the moderator.
