Also confirmed to appear at the conference in a session on creating a social heavyweight is former Sunrise supervising producer, Paul Richards. Now the digital media strategist at the Australian Academy of Science, Richards and his team have turned around the academy’s social strategy and significantly boosted its following organically by using lessons learned from breakfast TV.

The CMO Show reaches over 2.5 million people and will be recorded with audience participation at Mumbrella360. It’s set to be one of the most lively episodes of the show yet with the audience having the ability to set much of the agenda through question and answer.

Meanwhile, CX director at The Core Agency, Rob Kain, will lead a panel exploring the ‘why’ of data collection and what numbers are particularly useful for marketers. Kain will be joined by Jane Callister, managing director at The Core Agency in addition to Helen Messum, head of Australia and New Zealand at Alterian, and Bettina Pidcock, chief customer officer at QBE.

The panel will focus on how to use data insights to drive omni-channel CX and to achieve business insight over mere reporting.

They will discuss case studies including Woolworths’ Marvel Comics collectibles promotion, which saw 107 million discs collected in the supermarket’s most successful promotion ever, and McDonald’s Monopoly promotion, relaunched after a 10-year hiatus to become the brand’s highest-performing promotion for three years running.

There will also be a panel on marketing to youth appropriately. Led to FBi radio presenter, Tom McMullen, the session will feature a panel of talent spanning various aspects of respected youth media and culture to discuss the role brands play in promoting creative culture, ways they can take ownership over cultural trends and events, and whether they have permission to join the conversation around current political issues affecting Australian youth.

McMullen will be joined by Emily Copeland, founder and partnerships director of Cedilla, Glen Cassidy, director of Cake Wines and Tyson Koh, campaign director of Keep Sydney Open.

Mumbrella360 will take place at The Hilton Hotel in Sydney on June 12-14 with a networking day preceding two days of conference. Earlybird tickets are on sale now but end Wednesday.
