Trade show season is upon us - are you ready? 🥳 🔥 I'm kicking it off with eMerge Americas next week. Here's how you can make the most out of eMerge and any event you attend this season: 🙇♀️ Do your prep - Research attendees and companies in advance. Know who's going and who you want to meet. - Plan your day. Balance is key—pop your head into key sessions, networking, and exploring. 🛜 Network with a purpose - Don't just collect business cards. Aim to build relationships that last beyond a prospective meeting. - Use the conference app. eMerge has a great one that helps you pre-book meetings or join discussions in areas you're interested in 🕺Be an active participant - Don't be afraid to engage with speakers and panelists. The future of tech is unfolding here—be part of the conversation. - Share your insights in-person or online, and learn from others. Every interaction is a two-way street. 🎤Rep your brand proudly - Whether it's a startup, corporate or a personal brand, make your presence known. - Pitch like a human. You never know when you'll meet a potential partner or investor. 🌎Get on social media - Don't be afraid to share your experience and insights in real time. Use the event's hashtag. - Connect with fellow attendees online before, during, and after the event. 🙏Take care of you - Eat, keep snacks and water on hand to maintain your best self throughout the event. - Need a quiet second? Don't be afraid to take a break and recharge your social batteries. ♟️Have a post-event strategy - Follow up with your new connections and make it easy for them to remember who you are. - Introduce your new connections to others in your network if they can benefit from meeting each other. PS: If you're in town for eMerge Americas or want to join us for happy hour, drop me a DM! #eMergeAmericas

I'd like to ask for help... I'm organising a Winter Party for Executive #DataLeaders. Sounds fabulous right?! It will be and I'm really looking forward to it... BUT this isn't sitting comfortably with me. WHY? Because our female attendance is lower than I'd like. I know it's roughly inline with the #dataindustry but I'd really like to disrupt that 25% headline! HOW can you help? ♀️ I'd like you to take a look at the event and DM with your feedback. - Are you already coming? Let your female peers know, share the love and let's raise the bar! - In person events can be tricky - are day times better than evenings? - Does the content not appeal? Feel like it's geared towards men? ♂️ Like, Comment and Share with female data leaders who you think should join us and represent. ⚧️ I'm also looking for guest speakers to join our webinars for 2025!

Gassed, but energized. 8 events in 4 days in the Big Apple.🍎🗽 Who does this? Our ANA AIMM village does. Beyond grateful to the 100's of AIMM members and guests - brands, media, agencies, research companies, non-profits, and other trade associations - who joined our mighty team in NYC this week at our: ✅ 1st AIMM Member Forum of 2024 ✅ 4 separate AIMM Track Meetings ✅ Most Culturally Inclusive Brands of 2023 Awards ✅ 2024 GrowthFronts ✅ Q1 2024 AIMM Board Meeting. This is not just about “Go BIG or go home”. Big sometimes just means sizzle with no steak. Loud but with no receipts. AIMM’s voice is growing, AND we are moving the needle on business growth and equity. We are serious, intentional and tireless. Just a Few BIG Takeaways From This Week: #1 Multicultural/inclusive audiences are 40% of our total pop. and over 50% in many markets. STOP chasing the small %’s of the total spend and START chasing the 100%. 🤺 #2 STOP limiting yourself to the same metrics that you use for Gen Pop and START adding NEW ones to your dashboard that actually attribute success to diverse audiences. Consider your business objectives - media metrics alone will not capture these.📏 #3 STOP prioritizing efficiencies over effectiveness once and for all. You can have both. 📈 #4 Driving growth from Multicultural and Inclusive audiences is a 365 endeavor - not just 2 days in a major industry event. Put teams and initiatives in place to make this a year-round sustainable effort, and you will be far more successful. 💪 The changes and challenges in our industry never rest. Neither do we. #Multiculturalgrowth #inclusivegrowth #closinggaps #changethecoversation #SeeAll Photo credit on last shot: Manny Ruiz Gilbert Dávila Lisette Arsuaga Carlos Santiago Karla Lucia Nancy Diaz Rondre Ashford Chanel Stiegler Kathy Clarke Dyamond G.

Do you arrive at a conference with concrete goals? I’m heading to Pavilion’s Women’s Summit and GTM2024 in a few hours. ⭐️ My four goals and four tips to help you get the most out of the event. Goal 1️⃣: Wednesday Women is a community partner of the Women’s Summit. So we want to meet as many women as we can. We have a “booth” so stop by and see us (if we’re there…..because no one is “manning the booth” 🤣. Goal 2️⃣: We’re hosting our 2nd annual WW gathering and quick toast on Tuesday at 12:15. Women and allies are invited. DM me for an invite. Goal 3️⃣: Meet all the folks I’ve met over the years in person. Listen more than I talk, make intros, introduce at least 3 people to someone else that could be valuable to them. Goal 4️⃣: Of course, everyone has commercial goals. I’d like to have at least 5 conversations with companies who want to learn more about being a sponsor of Wednesday Women. ☕️ If you want to meet up, I’ll be at the Fairmont around 11 today hanging in the lobby drinking coffee. Quick tips if you’re on the way to Pavilion and flying by the seat of your pants. 💡Scroll through the GTM2024 channel in Slack on the plane. Pick 5 people you want to meet and DM them. 💡Not a natural networker or I’d rather say “community-er”, and you find yourself with out someone to mingle with? This tip is from Rachel Rozen. Look for croissants not bagels. If the group is shaped like a croissant, head right in. Also folks, when you’re having convos, think about how you’re standing. Are you inviting people in or closing people out? 💡Listen more than you talk. Someone will ask you what you do, then you add it in. Don’t be an IRL pitch slapper. 💡Just have fun. If people see the joy on your face they’ll be drawn to you. #eventgoals #inpersonevents #GTM2024 #wednesdaywomen

It's that time of year again, and #TeamDGC is packing its bags for Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, ready to immerse ourselves in what for one week every year is the epicenter of marketing creativity and innovation. This promises to be the best Cannes ever, featuring more than 500 speakers and 150 hours of content designed to inspire and educate. DiGennaro Communications' agenda is busier and more exciting than ever, too, as several of our clients, partners and friends will be on the ground—among them, Albertsons Media Collective, Digitas North America, Infillion, ANA AIMM, SEEHER, OAAA, Integral Ad Science, Pinterest, Outbrain, 72andSunny and Uber.    But Cannes is not just about work—it’s also about forging connections and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the Riviera. We look forward to talking ideas and insights—whether over café or rosé—with industry leaders, creatives, media executives, and journalists from around the world. This year's festival also features a compelling lineup of speakers, including mindfulness guru Deepak Chopra MD (official), inspirational speaker Jay Shetty, and the always-empowering Queen Latifah, who will talk about body positivity in #advertising. We'll also learn how the tech innovation everybody is talking about—#AI—is set to transform #creativity with Google's Vidhya Srinivasan and Alexander Chen. If you're going to Cannes, let's connect! Reach out to our founder and CEO Samantha DiGennaro; creative, media and marketing practice lead Mary-Elisabeth Ghanem; technology practice lead Kristen Morquecho; or VP, Group Director of our creative practice Sara V. to set something up.
