We are exactly a week away from the event of the year in social advertising.
The anniversary international conference “Raising efficiency of social advertising in Russia” (ESARUSSIA) will be held on October 24-25, 2013 in Moscow.
The session on sustainable development “Three elements of success” will take place next Thursday in the center of Moscow at Brusov per. 2/14 bldg. 8. During this event Russian and international experts will be giving presentations about real life cases and opportunities of using the tools of sustainable development, which help increase any company’s efficiency, build loyalty in clients and employees, adjust reputation and brand image, and also attract new target audiences.
On the same day of October, 24th at 9 p.m. there will be a video show of the best public service spots from all over the world at “Khudozhestvenniy” movie theater. The viewers will have a unique opportunity to watch high-quality social ads on a wide range of topics, some of which are quite unusual, yet, significant.
The participants of the conference will soon meet George Perlov, an American social marketing expert and a consultant of the Advertising Council and the World Economic Forum. “During my speech at the first ESARUSSIA conference in 2009 I quoted a famous American anthropologist Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world”. Positive changes in Russian social advertising that were made possible thanks to such conferences, round tables and generally the activity of Russian PSA Coalition, confirm these words” – the expert says.
On October 24th George will give a speech during the session on sustainable development and on the next day he will talk about the experience of creating international database of social advertising cases “Creative for Good” which debuted this June at Cannes Lions International Festival and included 8 Russian cases.
The Main conference day is Friday, October 25th, which will be held at the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation.
