Clear Channel to have big presence at Advertising Week

0

Looks like the NAB-RAB Radio Show will have a few less in attendance this year from Clear Channel, as its radio, outdoor and digital divisions will be showcasing execs, personalities, support of creative award-winning campaigns and delivering the news at Advertising Week (9/27-10/1) in NYC. Two Clear Channel hosted “Clear Channel Conversation” panels will reveal ways in which artists and brands are working together with marketers and media owners to create innovative partnerships and consumer experiences that build brand engagement; and how fresh approaches to customer activation, product integration, media innovation and celebrity engagement support communities with positive change while reaping dividends for marketers.


A separate panel presented by TargetCast will feature a Clear Channel exec and explore how radio has reinvented itself in the digital age.
