  Social Stars: Tapping The Power of Fandom (AKA the Justin Bieber Effect)

  In this session, Pelle Sjoenell, executive creative director of BBH LA, and Brad Haugen, CMO of Scooter Braun Projects, will explore the power of fandom today and tomorrow. For months, Justin Bieber's hit “Boyfriend” had been blowing up the airwaves. To launch his new Give Back Brands fragrance, called “Girlfriend,” Justin and BBH LA invited his nearly 100 million fans to create their own “Girlfriend” versions of the song, giving them a digital track and the opportunity to create their own lyrics.
  
  The digital and social media initiative went on to become a national 60-second TV spot for the fragrance and one of the most successful cause marketing efforts of 2012. Join Pelle and Brad as they dive into what they learned from working with one of the world's most influential fan bases, and how the unique culture of the entertainment industry will further inspire the future of advertising, marketing and creativity.

  Solving the Social TV Measurement Problem

  “Pan Am,” “Community,” “Terra Nova” and countless other shows have topped the social TV charts while generating less-then-stellar ratings, highlighting a major disconnect between the two screens. Meanwhile, there are still significant discrepancies among social TV analytics services. So how do you know which numbers are accurate? How do you know which ones really matter?
  
  If social TV is the future, Evan Silverman will argue, we are facing a measurement crisis that must be addressed. The gap between online and offline must be closed and industry standards must be set to gauge social buzz.
