  • Promax/Bda Conference Sessions Play on the Power of Pop Culture and Current Events
    PROMAX/BDA CONFERENCE SESSIONS PLAY ON THE POWER OF POP CULTURE AND CURRENT EVENTS Top Speakers Tapped to Take on Everything from Harnessing the Presidential Election to the Understanding the Net Generation Los Angeles, CA – June 9, 2008 – Recognizing marketing’s intrinsic and powerful relationship with pop culture and current events, Promax/BDA has secured several media luminaries to address such subjects as the presidential election, the evolution of MTV, the Net Generation and music’s impact on branding. With the history-making U.S. presidential election only five months off, FOX News’ Neil Cavuto moderates an insightful session called One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State, which looks at the innovative ways news and entertainment organizations are covering politics and the upcoming election. From MTV's Rock the Vote campaigns to the independent coverage of IFC and the global perspective of CNN, participants will also discuss the unique tactics they're employing in using their election and political coverage as a springboard to broaden their audience. Panelists include Scot Safon, CMO for CNN Worldwide; Kent Rees, EVP Marketing for Independent Film Channel; and Ian Rowe, SVP Strategic Partnerships and Public Affairs for MTV. A unique group of individuals who played key roles in the brand building of MTV are the focus of a session entitled Influencers of a Generation: MTV and hosted by James Lipton, creator, writer, executive producer and host of Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio. Just over 20 years ago, this group of young, highly creative people were making promo history breaking new ground in taking MTV from a cool music video channel to the lifestyle brand it is today.
