Kennedy will lead a session and then a follow-up panel on the merits of advertising pre-testing

Advertising pre-testing will also come into focus as Professor Rachel Kennedy, director (product development) at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science, presents a session to bring the issue into focus.

Kennedy will set the scene for a more robust debate in a short and sharp presentation that sets up the questions of whether or not brands and agencies should do it, and if so, how? The session will also look at the strongest methods of pre-testing creative work.

After the presentation will be a follow up panel discussing the finer points of the issue with Kennedy and the previously announced Sophie Coghill from Tourism Australia. They will be joined by Cassie Govan, managing director of Empirica Research, and Daren Poole, global head of creative, insights division, at Kantar Millward Brown.

The interplay between branding quality and technology will also be brought into focus in a session led by Professor Karen Nelson-Field PhD, industry professor of media innovation at the University of Adelaide and executive director at the Centre for Amplified Intelligence.
