YOUTH MARKETING MEGA-EVENT 2006
Dear Marketer,
Are you astounded at the increasing purchasing power of the
youth market of today and tomorrow?
It’s not enough to THINK about the future. Attracting them
now will help keep them with you. They will grow with your
company and your brands. Loyalty, retention, profit.
But how?
Start building these relationships by connecting your brands to
your markets. Build Credibility.
But, that’s not all.
You need to Build Credibility AND Be Cool. Turn trends into
profit. Secure them now and keep them forever.
IIR’s ALL ENCOMPASSING YOUTH MARKETING MEGA
EVENT is a one stop shop providing everything you need to
achieve success in marketing to ALL SEGMENTS OF THE
YOUTH MARKET.
Competitive conferences advertise “power”. Yet, year after year
their content and speakers remain stagnant while the YOUTH
MARKETING MEGA EVENT evolves. If you are interested in
hearing from LEADING EXPERTS AND PRACTIONERS, the
power is right here – the power is with you.
New for 2006:
• More than 70 sessions
• More than 80 speakers
• Marketing to 20 Somethings Symposium
• All keynote general sessions
• More diverse industry representation
• Meet & Greets with Olympic Medalists and their
Brand Sponsors
• Networking concert by tomorrow’s hottest stars
It’s a fact.
There has never been a more exciting OR more challenging
time to be a marketer. That’s especially true in youth
marketing. New media, new role models, new technologies
and new priorities are all causing a shift in the way the world
views “youth”. People ages zero to twenty nine collectively
enjoy more independence, more possibilities and more options
than ever before. It seems that as “they” continue to consider
their place in history, the presence of loyalty and commercial
preferences is more volatile than ever creating new
opportunities for marketers to gain competitive advantage.
The time is now to take your stand as a brand and leave your
mark on this pivotal point in the development of tomorrow’s
most lucrative market.
The 2006 Youth Marketing Mega Event is the only all
encompassing marketing event that provides marketers with the
most actionable insights and best practices necessary to achieve
profitable results. The topic areas covered at IIR’s event all stem
from intense research with YOU – our target market.
We asked what information you need to do your job better. We
asked which companies you wanted to learn from. We are
handing you exactly what you asked for. Don’t take our word
for it – look inside – see for yourself.
While we have introduced new content areas and, of course,
recruited a 100% new speaker faculty, our one of a kind
structure that you have grown to love has not changed – this is
still the ONLY marketing event that brings content areas
dedicated to kids, tweens, teens and college all together under
one roof. And for 2006 we’ve expanded our reach even
further to include an entire symposium on marketing to 20
somethings. Marketing to Mom and Youth Market Research
continue to be critical to your success so we have dedicated
entire pre-conference symposia to them as well. And in
addition to all of this, we’ve lined up an all keynote cast for our
general sessions whose topics are applicable to your business
regardless of your specific segment targets.

And those are just our general sessions! We’ve lined up an
equally impressive group of speakers for each of our four
tracks, all three of our pre-conference symposia and each of
our three pre-conference workshops. Together this gives you
a choice of over 70 sessions and access to over 80 expert
speakers over three jam packed days. This event is fully
customizable and allows you to pick and choose the sessions
that address the exact challenges you’re trying to overcome
for maximum productivity. Let’s not forget about the live focus
groups. There’s 5 in all!
I encourage you to look through the program in more detail –
review our speaker faculty on page 3 and our agenda at a
glance on page 4. Consider all the professionals you can
network with listed on our past attendee list on page 3.
Imagine how much fun the VIP access to Olympic Medalists,
tomorrow’s hottest music acts and breakfast with business
maverick Tom Peters would be. I’m confident that once you
see this stellar cast, you will know that this is one conference
you just can’t miss.
About our Theme
Build Credibility With Cool for Increased
Loyalty and Sustained Profitability
10 words. 10 times as much meaning.
Each component of our 2006 theme was selected carefully
by our conference committee to ensure that this event
delivers on the needs that were voiced in research with over
150 youth marketers.
Credibility. This is key. Today’s corporate critics can see
right through you. Your message had better be credible.
Cool. Always vague in actual definition, but inherently
relevant. Carrying this moniker can propel your brand status
to new heights.
Loyalty. It costs five times more to acquire a new consumer
than retain an existing one.1
Profitability. After all, this is business.

Making Better Research Matter More
12:00 Small Steps: Ethnography with the New Balance Kids Design Team
The New Balance Kids Design Team employed our version of ethnographic research
within a quick-to-market timeline without a large budget allocated for research.
This presentation will show how we used this research to fuel strategic innovation and
to achieve New Balance’s mission of total customer satisfaction.
KEYNOTE
In this engaging session, Dr. Martel, perhaps the nation's leading developer of
research and systems for the study of learning and retention, will reveal the key
insights that every researcher and marketer must know as revealed in his book: “The
7 Secrets of Learning Revealed.” This session will demonstrate key strategies and
techniques for truly understanding youth today based on patterns of brain
development and learning. This must-attend session will also relay specific
techniques and processes utilized by Dr. Martel to advance the movement that
encourages innovations in learning and the way schools and corporations teach and
talk to youth. Focusing on how youth learn and process information best, Dr. Martel
will encourage you to look at your audience from a critical perspective. The deeper
understanding of the youth mind at work that you will gain, will certainly improve your
success rate in understanding their needs and translating that into product
development, message creation and innovation. This fascinating overview of the
youth mind at work will translate into the intelligence necessary to build deeper and
more meaningful relationships with your audience.

Achieving Access Online For Honest Feedback
Greenfield Online has developed a teen sampling capability that is unrivaled in the industry,
we are able to survey teens directly, rather than survey teens through their parents.
We wanted to understand the full-impact this type of difference would have and
conducted a study comparing responses among:
• Teens surveyed directly

• Teens surveyed through their parents
• Parents responding for themselves and their teens

A New Tool for Observational/Design Research
We will provide insight into the differences in response when comparing how teens respond
when asked directly vs. their response via their parents. These responses will range from
media consumption through spending and familiarity with consumer brands.
Understanding consumer behavior and how they interact with packages/products is
key to developing successful new innovations. This session will show how a new
tool, K-C’s Consumer Vision System, provided fundamental insights that guided
design work.

insight to making more informed and better decisions that moves business forward in

10:00 Sustaining Vision (Create Cult With Essence Not Hype)
In keeping up with youth consumers, one must consider the most current pop culture
and societal trends to be sure that the message conveyed to the consumer is on
point and relevant. This could potentially collide with more traditional research that
can be conducted and analyzed over significant time periods. Even more of a
challenge arises when working on projects that will not be introduced into the
marketplace for years to come – how can you be sure that you are staying “on trend”
and up to date when you’re not always quite sure what up to date will be?

11:15 Researching New Products & Commercials: Adopting a Child-Centric Approach
in-store versus traditional marketing activity.
Gathering input from kids can help new products become more exciting, new
characters more involving and commercials more motivating. However, much of the
research carried out with pre-teens mistakenly uses techniques directly lifted from
research with adults. A more sophisticated and child-centric approach is called for.

Parenting Magazine’s proprietary study What Really Matters to Moms, goes beyond
simple fact-finding to understand not just what Moms’ top priorities are, but also how
these priorities affect her brand choices and purchase behavior. What’s eye-opening

- but the unique perspective that Moms have on them. They talk about them, think
about them, and act on them in different and often surprising ways. Attendees will get
the inside scoop on how to “speak mom” – a language that will give them a real
advantage in the marketplace.

Playing harder? You bet. Working harder? You’d be surprised.
Young people often get a bad rap for their work ethic, yet many of the legendary
inventions and ideas have come from 20 somethings. Sony, Apple and Microsoft
were all founded by people under 30. Is there something about technology that
inspires young people to think and work creatively? Or is there something about
being young that makes technology more than just a mix of hardware and software?

Activating a Brand Promise With Your 20 Something Audience
A brand’s promise that is durable and consistent while bonding with its audiences
deeply and passionately can be a monumental challenge – especially in a world
where choice and change are the currencies-of-record. There is almost no clearer
environment for identifying, crafting, growing and experiencing the results of an
activated brand promise than in the dynamic world of recently graduated college
students. Not only are they savvy about the media and marketing around them, but
they bring this unique expectation about brands that can’t be overlooked and serves
as the pivot point between success and failure.

Participants in this workshop will be introduced to team ethnography, a process that
transforms a “tool” into an impactful organizational learning experience. The approach,
developed over thirty years, helps teams take a do-it-yourself approach to ethnography
that delivers on the promise of “seeing the world with new eyes.”
In this experiential workshop, we will focus on the three critical stages of team
ethnography:
“From our humble beginnings in the toy industry nearly a decade ago, our work (some call it
work, we call it fun) now includes candy, food and beverage, games, personal care, electronics,
entertainment, education, pharmaceutical, publishing, licensing, sports, and others,” notes
Goodwin. “In fact, many of our client relationships span the length of our existence.”

Warner Brothers Records reaches kids and adults of all ages with marketing
messages promoting their various recording artists. Priority to them is staying ahead
of the curve and reaching their audience in the most innovative and creative ways.
Much of these initiatives are founded in new media, keeping in mind that new may not
always be related to the most technologically advanced.

and a look ahead towards what’s coming down the pipe.

Managing Business to Meet the Needs of an Ever-Evolving Consumer
• Blogging what’s next
Space is limited to attendees who register in groups of 3 or more.
• The impact of DVR, VOD, TiVo for marketers
The youth consumer is fun. The youth consumer is provocative. Marketing to the
youth consumer probably even keeps you young – in tune with what’s going on,
what’s hot and what’s not. But more important to you as a marketer, the youth
consumer is your business. To frame the next 2 exciting days, Tom Peters will remind
us why we’re all here in Huntington Beach in the first place – to be better business
people, to be more effective leaders and to be inspiring to those who work for us and
with us.
As Tom’s book titles indicate, his passion is passion: Destruction & Disruption & Reimaginings … Talent Liberation for a Brand You/WOW Projects World … Creativity,
Game-changing Innovation & Sustained Entrepreneurship. His other passion is to
induce leaders to vigorously embrace the “Technicolor Times” and partake of a diet of
audacious, disruptive re-imaginings and excellent adventures.
• Understanding media multi-tasking
• Translating brand equity into the digital world
• Best practices for integration of new technology into 360 campaigns
• Appropriateness of capturing the newest of the new

Generation Debt: How Youth View and Manage Personal Finances
Today’s youth is inundated by mixed messages regarding personal finances: Credit
card companies solicit them, they’re tempted by pimped rides and cool cribs, the
cost of college has skyrocketed (the average college student graduates almost
$20,000 in debt), the safety nets of previous generations have frayed or given way,
school and career choices may promise either sky-rocketing CEO/celebrity
compensation or a job that gets outsourced to an emerging market.
Get ready to be energized by who Business Week has deemed “business’ best friend
and worst nightmare.”
Tom Peters, Business, Management and Leadership Guru

College Advertising Channels: The
Other “Non-traditional” Media
For today’s youth marketers, the
focus of their attention and potential
ad dollars have been on nontraditional media like Advergaming,
Blogvertising, and Podcasting. This
advancing technology and the
advertising options that complement it
do offer exciting potential for reaching
youth. But have we prematurely
qualified these options as effective
ways to reach youth? Is it safe to say
that traditional forms of youth media
have fallen to the way side?
Campus Media Group, Inc., will talk
about the other “non-traditional”
advertising channels that exist to
reach 18-to-24-year-olds, and why
today’s top brands still use them.
CMG will also demonstrate how
using campus media correctly can
create brand ambassadors on
college campuses nationwide.

Teens are tech-savvy media
pluralists who have access to
multiple media and are driven to use
each medium for different purposes.
Given teens’ propensity to multitask, it is essential that advertisers

Today’s sports industry enjoys
billion dollar businesses and

Live College Student Panel!
Marketing to the 18-24
demographic has changed. Today’s
college student is a different student
– influenced by the fast age of the
internet, instant messenger, cellular
phones and more. As savvy
consumers, they have become
weary of all the constant solicitation
and marketing on their campuses.
In addition to your questions, this
panel will focus on the following:
• Brand “must haves”
• Most popular trends on campus
• Student brand preferences and
awareness
• The most effective way to reach
college students in their
environments
• What brands have risen above the
clutter with successful impact
The Next Step: Engaging Students on Their Terms
With their instinct for authenticity and cynicism towards commercialism, college and
high school students demand that advertisers and marketers play by their rules. They
ignore and reject mass advertising initiatives imposed from above, yet respond to
(and even solicit) marketing that is grassroots, relevant, and resonant. In this session
I’ll discuss Facebook’s new marketing programs, which are already enabling dozens
of leading brands to develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the youth
market and engaging millions of students every day.
• Facebook is the #1 website for students nationwide. Millions of American students
use Facebook daily: 1 in 3 college students in the US logs on to Facebook every
day, and 1 in 2 college students in the US logs on to Facebook every week
• Facebook users’ seamless intermingling of commercial and non-commercial
interests highlights both the challenges and the opportunities in marketing to the
student demographic
• Facebook’s innovative and integrated advertising properties show how marketers
can connect with students where it matters most to them
• Facebook has built a leading brand in the student market from the bottom up, and
bottom-up grassroots marketing can be a powerful force for major brands too
In this engaging session, you will have the unique opportunity to see this executive
producer in front of the camera for a change - sharing tips and insights from
successes and failures he’s seen behind the camera.

Many brands have had success rubbing shoulders with the likes of Tiger
Woods, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter. However, most
marketing budgets can’t afford to make commitments to such big names.
There are alternatives that have just the same star power, encourage good will
and deliver a brand message. Olympic Gold Medal Sprinter Shawn Crawford, 2-time
Olympic Silver Medal Hurdler Terrence Trammell & World Champion Sprinter Me'Lisa
Barber, along with their brand counterparts, will share success stories from leveraging the
timeliness and experiential marketing with Olympic Medalists.

• Talk to real teens that will discuss

questions from marketers
There are certain truths that are applicable to all walks of life and relevant to all stages of
personal development. And unlike trends, these don’t change with the times, they may
evolve, but they are in some way always there - these are emotions. Stan Rogow,
executive producer of such youth culture phenomena as Lizzie McGuire, Darcy’s Wild Life
and most recently Flight 29 Down, argues that only when you can successfully portray and
tap into these emotions can you really start connecting your brand or property with
consumers – not riding the coattails of the latest trends or fads.

Marketing Responsibly But Profitably: Moving From Awareness to Action
The debate about “who is responsible for the obesity crisis in the U.S.” has captured
headline news for several years. The “blame game” and “teflon response” has often
dominated the debate between the public and private sectors. There have been
threats of obesity lawsuits as well as the passage of state legislation that governs the
sale of soda and snack foods in school vending machines; and, there are now selfregulation guidelines from some trade groups. In addition, the Institute of Medicine
has convened a committee of scientific experts to study marketing to children and will
issue a report with their recommendations in Fall, 2005. Some companies are
beginning to do their part by introducing healthier product choices, labeling their
healthier products for easy consumer identification, and supporting
intervention/education efforts. The debate has served its purpose in raising national
awareness and concerns about childhood obesity. However, a focus on the debate
versus taking action only keeps obesity in the “spin cycle.” It is time for everyone
to take a big step toward action. At this session, the audience will learn:
• Obesity is a BIG problem.
• Obesity touches each of us in our everyday life.
• We must all own obesity as a national health problem.
• It is a huge challenge, but we are the solution.

10:15 Building Trust as a Credibly Cool Brand
Youth today are corporate critics. They know they’re being marketed to and to a large
extent, they’re fine with that. However, try too hard to not seem like you’re marketing,
they can see right through it and come on too strong with a sell message, they’re
likely to shut you right out. In today’s competitive and cluttered categories, you
cannot afford severed relationships. Perhaps one of the most authentically cool
brands in the youth market today, American Apparel’s Chief Operating Officer walks
us down that fine line.
• Is “buying your way in” transparent or worth the investment?
• Building relationships that are in the spotlight without appearing to “sell out”
• Remaining authentic to consumers who understand the business of marketing
Martin Bailey, Chief Operating Officer, AMERICAN APPAREL
11:00 The Mobile Future is Now: Leveraging Mobile for Youth Marketing
The youth demographic are at the core of mobile’s success, with over 45 million
under 25s using mobile devices today. 80% of those devices are text messaging
enabled – creating a new medium to target the youth market. Mobile provides always
on, always available, anytime marketing for you and your brand. Adding mobile to
your overall marketing strategy is key to reaching the youth demographic.
The Mobile Marketing Association brings together industry experts for a discussion on
mobile marketing best practices and how to best leverage the emerging mobile
channel in support of a brand’s overall marketing strategy for this key demographic.
The panel discussion will cover:
• How to build a campaign around youth using the mobile channel
• Impact and effective uses of: text and premium text campaigns, downloadable
mobile content, mobile web banners, mobile search
• Specific case study examples will be discussed from a variety of perspectives by
key players in the rapidly evolving mobile space.

11:45 Music and Music Fans Have Migrated Online…Marketers Should “Mingle”
Music has always been a powerful marketing platform in traditional media, including
television, radio, print and concerts. The marketing fundamentals have not changed,
but as music consumers have rapidly migrated online, they have embraced their
ability to control the how, what, where and when of digital music content to create MY
Music Experience, MY Music Videos on Demand, MY radio station, MY playlists on
MY portable device.
Content, Search, Personalization and Community are the 4 consumer engagement
pillars that have catalyzed this migration. The tools that drive the 4 pillars such as
instant messaging, ratings systems, playlist generation, downloads and legal file
sharing all provide more meaningful, relevant ways to reach and mingle with these
more passionate consumers of all ages.
Current (live) examples of how marketers are leveraging online music will be shared.
• Engage and enable the music fan throughout their entire online music experience by
leveraging the 4 consumer pillars:
- Search (desktop, mobile, video, audio, TV)
- Content (discovering, organizing, consuming, creating, publishing, distributing)
- Community (connecting, filtering, sharing, influencing)
- Personalization (rating, customizing, refining)

The Post-High School,
Non-Collegiate Consumer
The 18-22 year old consumer has
been typically categorized as the
college consumer. Thus, marketers
tend to rely on techniques and
strategies that focus on the lifestyles
and assumed activities that occur on
campus. However, there is a large
number of 18-22 year olds who are
not on campus and may not even
be in college. This audience has
traditionally been underserved by
mainstream marketing and has the
potential to be a major opportunity
area for brands that have not
traditionally located this consumer.
• Post High School Destinations –
every 18-22 year old is not on
campus!
What makes a property a quick
short-term hit vs. an evergreen brand
that lasts for generations? This
session will explore the life cycles of
entertainment licenses using case
studies from Care Bears, Holly
Hobbie, Winnie the Pooh, Sesame
Street, and more, and discuss ways
to extend a brand for long-term
success.

Meeting the demands of today’s
teens is not an easy task, especially
for dining. Factors such as service,
environment and food & beverage all
play a role. Pepsi will share findings
from a custom study revealing key
drivers that motivate teen decision
making and engender loyalty.
Explore the restaurant landscape
through the eyes of a teen and see
firsthand the rationale behind their
decision making and how they
prioritize the different factors that go
into making any decision. These
insights will allow you to make more
educated decisions when
considering marketing partnerships
with food service as well as tailor
your own brand needs to align with
the priorities of teens today.
Appealing to the heart and minds of
youths and their parents can be an
extremely effective marketing
strategy and also one of the most
challenging to pull off. Reaching two
audiences at the same time truly
requires a clear strategy and some
creative tactics.

After 3 jam-packed days of intense learning and networking, why not take a break on Thursday and enjoy some of the amenities offered by the beachfront property in Huntington Beach.
Some of these would make great team-building exercises for your team to strengthen the professional bonds developed over the past 3 days. Some may be more appropriate for some
personal reflection so you can absorb all the great information you just took in. Regardless of your preference, we’re sure you’ll find an activity to suit your needs.
For more details on any of these options, contact the resort concierge.
Hit the Links: Meadowlark Golf Course
Indulge Yourself: Pacific Waters Spa
Meadowlark Golf Course is the most convenient course
to the resort, just 10 minutes away. Built in the 1920’s, its
old oaks and eucalyptus trees provide a beautiful
backdrop. New lakes and total renovation of the
clubhouse was completed in 1993.
To escape from reality is to escape to the “Pacific Waters
Spa”. Nestled in a secluded courtyard, guarded by Koi
and flaming torches, this 20,000 square foot Oasis is the
ultimate retreat for body and soul, the perfect hideaway!
Reminiscent of a turn of the century Spanish mansion,
Pacific Waters Spa is opulent in form and function. Inhale
the rich color palate and indulge in the appropriately lavish
amenities as you escape the stresses and strains of
everyday life.
Perusing the services and treatments offered at Pacific
Waters Spa in advance of your visit is highly
recommended. You are also encouraged to call the
professional Spa Concierge for assistance with scheduling treatments to maximize the
therapeutic benefit of your experience.

outdoor relaxation areas, whirlpools, our state of the art fitness center, and our “cutting
edge” Salon. Enjoy!
