Presented by Deena Bilek (L), AVP, Management & Planning and Mike Boyd (R), SVP, Marketing Content & Delivery, Nationwide

In 2020, the in-house agency at Nationwide was experiencing the same challenges a lot of many other companies faced: meeting demand for more content, faster, while keeping headcount and expenses in check. Ultimately, a new marketing strategy and organizational structure pushed the team to face these challenges head-on—increasing speed-to-market, reducing operational drag, and empowering their associates. In this webinar, SVP of Content & Delivery Mike Boyd and AVP Marketing Resource Planning & Management Deena Bilek share their learnings from the past 18 months of leading an end-to-end initiative that not only improved their team’s creative processes but enhanced their contribution.

Presented by Clive Sirkin, Chairman, Screendragon

It’s easy for in-house agencies to fall into the trap of being thought of as a cost-reduction organization. While cost reduction should be a critical and consequential outcome of a well-run operation, it shouldn’t be the sole reason for your existence. To set your team up to deliver more, it requires a strategy that lifts expectations at every level within the company. In this session, Clive Sirkin, former CMO of Kimberly-Clark and chief growth officer at the Kellogg Company, shares five strategic imperatives to help transform your in-house agency into a critical, sustainable capability that is essential to your company’s competitive advantage.

Featuring Bonnie DiJoseph, Susan McLaughlin, DJ Min, Aleka Sansom and Amy Walker of Vanguard

When COVID-19 brought the world to its knees, the in-house agency at Vanguard didn’t exist. There was a plan to transition from creative services to a true in-house agency, but it was still early days. Early enough that when the pandemic hit, leadership questioned the merits of such an ambitious change amid uncertain times. Today, Vanguard's in-house agency looks back on its journey with pride. Not only were they able to take their creative advertising support from 100% external to 100% internal, they did it all virtually with employees who had never met in person. Tune in to hear how this powerhouse team is doing today. (Spoiler Alert: They were a 2021 In-House Agency of the Year finalist—so, they’re doing pretty well!)

In this instructional webinar, we’ll hear how to add that extra bit of creative flair to everyday presentations without overdoing it. We’ll also learn how to apply visual and narrative storytelling to elevate even the most-basic presentations combined with streamlined techniques to enable high-quality decks when time is tight.
