2016 ANA Brands Working With Startups (at CES)
ANA is excited to partner with the Consumer Technology Association to develop conference programming for the 2016 CES, and will be presenting Brands Working with Startups. Brands work with startups in the advertising and marketing space for many reasons: innovation, new capabilities, fresh thinking, and more. Meanwhile, the corporate world provides startups with exposure and potential funding. It’s a win/win. These sessions will profile partnerships among leading marketers and standout startups.
Discover:
• Exclusive results of new ANA/CTA research with real-world examples of how brands collaborate with startups.
• Must see products and services at CES, with a unique view into Eureka Park, CES’s flagship startup destination.
• Case studies featuring exciting partnerships between leading marketers, agencies, and startups.
Brands Working with Startups will take place from January 6-7, 2016 at C Space, located at ARIA, which is the official CES destination for creative communicators, brand professionals and digital advertisers. C Space will tell the story of how content, creativity, technology, CMOs, brand marketing, influencers and the consumer come together as part of the CES universe. Attendees will experience tailored conference programming, custom exhibits, exclusive receptions, after-hour events and networking opportunities. CES will also host dedicated shuttles between C Space at ARIA and CES Tech East and Tech West, to make the CES experience easier to navigate.
The conference hashtag is #ANAatCES.
