Greetings from the 2024 ANA Brand Masters Conference! What an unprecedented yet exhilarating time for our industry. As I reflect on the enriching sessions and vibrant discussions, one theme resonates deeply: the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of marketing.
Don’t be mistaken: in a world of information plug-and-play, this is an era where creativity reigns supreme. AI emerges as marketing's indispensable ally, offering unparalleled opportunities for innovation and efficiency. As highlighted in the conference sessions, AI is not just a buzzword — it's a transformative force that demands our attention and exploration.
The conference shed light on the diverse applications of AI in marketing, from content personalization to predictive analytics. By harnessing AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, our Hunters can unlock new dimensions of creativity and effectiveness in their campaigns. These tools should enable us to tell fewer, stronger stories, tailor content for maximum relevance and optimize marketing ROI with unprecedented precision.
However, as we embark on this AI-powered journey alongside our beloved partners and clients, it's essential to tread carefully and ethically. The conference emphasized the importance of building a strong foundation of first-party data and aligning AI initiatives with organizational objectives and values. AI is not just about technology—it's about augmenting human capabilities, fostering meaningful connections with our audience and ensuring our time and resources are used strategically.
As we navigate the AI landscape, I’m encouraging our Hunters to embrace a holistic approach that combines human ingenuity with technological prowess. By fostering a culture of experimentation and accountability, we can harness the full potential of AI to drive sustainable growth and customer loyalty.
In essence, I’m left with a simple yet profound truth: the time to embrace AI is now. As marketers, we must seize this opportunity to innovate, adapt to this world and lead in an ever-evolving landscape.
Always committed to extraordinary work delivered with joy,

Dan's Takeaway from the 2024 ANA Brand Masters Conference: Media Buying Excellence and Creative Commerce
Greetings from the 2024 ANA Brand Masters Conference!
As I reflect on the enriching sessions and vibrant discussions, I’d like to share my key takeaway: the convergence of media buying excellence and creative commerce.
One of the standout campaigns showcased at the conference was the collaboration between OREO and VMLY&R Commerce, introducing OREOCodes — a groundbreaking retail campaign that seamlessly integrates OREO cookies with everyday milk cartons (because OREOS always go best with milk, right?). This innovative approach not only fosters engagement but also drives incremental purchase occasions and creates ownable moments, all while staying true to the playful essence of the OREO brand.
The success of the OREOCodes campaign underscores the importance of marrying technology, creativity and customer experience in today's marketing landscape. By leveraging media buying strategies that prioritize targeted reach and personalization, brands can amplify their message and drive tangible results.
As we look ahead, Hunter Marketing will continue to push the boundaries of media buying excellence and creative innovation. By embracing new technologies and ensuring the customer experience is top of mind, we can unlock unprecedented opportunities for our clients.
Stay tuned for more insights and strategies.
Cheers!
Dan Elbaz
