IDEAS AT A GLANCE
Big Data. In an ever-more instrumented world, consumers and B2B customers are creating an avalanche of data based on their behavior. Marketers need to understand what to do with all this information in order to be able to compete more effectively. Mastering Big Data is becoming a must-have skill. Where do you start? What do you need to know? How do you master this?
Neuromarketing. No topic is more hotly debated than Neuromarketing – the science of understanding how humans are hardwired to evaluate and purchase products. Brands everywhere are trying to figure this formula out, but is the early conversation in marketing circles about this potential advancement hype or reality? What’s true? What’s useful? What’s coming in the near future ability to “see inside the minds of the customer?”
DIY Marketing. Brand building today doesn’t totally rely on the same old model of advertising, PR, e-direct, and basics of social, etc. – some of today’s hottest brands are winning by sidestepping the traditional ”channel” mentality, adopting new approaches, and making an end run around the competition to claim first place! Social and experience marketing are two of the keys to this race. Who’s doing it well? What are the keys? How can this integration be used in a highly economical way?

Dan Finnerty caught America's attention as the foul-mouthed wedding singer in the hit film Old School, performing his now-infamous foul-mouthed rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", as well as appearances in Todd Phillips movies, Starsky & Hutch and The Hangover. What started as a drunken joke for Finnerty singing "I Am Woman" at a karaoke bar has spiraled into The Dan Band- a cult hit that has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Variety and Rolling Stone.
Their TV concert special "The Dan Band: I Am Woman" aired on Bravo and they've appeared on numerous TV shows, including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show, Last Call with Carson Daly, Ellen, Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards and The Tonight Show, where Finnerty has been featured as a regular correspondent. The Dan Band plays to sold out crowds across the country and has released two CDs: “The Dan Band Live” followed by “Ho- A Dan Band X-Mas" and is currently working on a third with Comedy Central Records called "The Wedding Album".

One of America’s most beloved comedians of all time, Bill Cosby has captivated generations of fans with
his comedy routines, iconic albums and best-selling books such as Fatherhood. His comedy transcends
age, gender and cultural barriers.
Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, about
a close-knit, upper class black family. Time magazine called the show “an encouraging sign of maturity
in matters of race.” The Cosby Show dominated the No. One spot for years, earning nearly unanimous
critical praise. Life magazine described the program as “a gentle, whimsical, warmhearted” show whose
“delicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughter-splashed
perspective on their own domestic lives.”
Bill Cosby’s current best seller, I Didn’t Ask to Be Born, But I’m Glad I Was. Cosby talks about the Bible,
being a grandfather and his first love in his humorous and insightful manner.
Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America’s highest
civilian honor), the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.

Flobots
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, and a classically trained violist the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop. Progressive in both style and message, the band’s ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity. Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time. If you are thinking, you are winning.
