Can Marketing Change the World?
Many companies believe and act as if changing the world is completely separate to making money. And, their marketers and agencies follow right along. But in today’s socially and environmentally conscious world – and in today’s polarized political context – does this belief hold water? Or do brands need to catalyze positive change if they hope to deliver commercial results? Importantly, what role can and should marketers play?
The 6th Annual BMA New York Regional Conference is dedicated to the premise and promise that marketing can change the world. The event will provide inspiration and applicable insights into how marketers have an obligation to step up and lead the change agenda for their companies, and for the greater good.

Fearless Marketing: The Story Behind Fearless Girl
John C. Brockelman
Managing Director, Global Head of Communications and Brand Marketing, State Street
Global Advisors
In just 12 hours after her placement in New York City’s financial district, Fearless Girl generated more than one billion impressions on Twitter alone. Hear the story behind the creative strategy that brought the statue to life from John Brockelman, Global Head of Communications & Brand Marketing at State Street Global Advisors—one of the largest asset managers in the world. The firm’s actions behind the now iconic symbol, and the way the campaign ignited a conversation globally on the need for greater gender diversity in senior leadership, achieved both extraordinary commercial success and cultural impact.
When Culture Kills the Killer App
Josh Feldmeth
Senior Partner, Prophet
Every industry has been disrupted by a technology-enabled alternative promising faster delivery, lower costs, and delightfully better user experiences. In many sectors, these former disruptors now occupy dominant positions. The killer apps are now category killer enterprises.
These companies have experienced extraordinary growth running a post-digital playbook. But have they learned the timeless lessons of Culture? Why do some of the most important brands in the world—both new and established—fail from within? And when they skid off the rails, how do they get back on track?
The Age of Courage: Marketers’ Call to Action
Geof Rochester
Managing Director, The Nature Conservancy
Join Geof Rochester, Managing Director of the Nature Conservancy, in a conversation about the evolving roles and need for courage required of corporations, NGO’s, municipalities and citizens in today’s world and especially with regard to Climate Change – the issue of our times. Hear about the latest trends and advancements as heightened concerns lead to greater engagement bordering on activism.

Engaged employees can change the world. Should marketing get in on the act?
Joe Pantigoso
Sr. Director, Global Brand, SAP
Margaret Molloy
CMO, Siegel+Gale
Brian Rafferty
Global Director of Research Insights, Siegel+Gale
Anthea Hoyle
Strategy Director, Employee Engagement, Siegel+Gale
Organizations can change the world indirectly through social responsibility, activisms and beyond. Perhaps more importantly, great companies deliver the quotidian products we need and desire and can create innovations that change our lives in ways we can’t even imagine. Employees are the backbone of every great organization. Yet many marketers are primarily focusing on customer engagement devoting only minimal energy to internal employees. A new study by Siegel+Gale sheds fresh light on the power of engaged employees. Based on a survey of more than 14,000 people in 9 countries, findings show that organizations that invest in activating brand purpose and simplifying their workplaces benefit from greater trust, advocacy, retention and innovation among employees. In addition to unveiling study findings for the first time, this session will also feature a conversation on how SAP seeks to drive business outcomes and a global change agenda through employee engagement.
