Sharpen your understanding of the advertising landscape as a global cast of speakers share hands-on, actionable insights that address today’s most pressing industry needs.

Drawing from rigorously peer-reviewed, academic research, speakers across three continents will give presentations of their cutting-edge work and participate in a stimulating Q&A panel led by ARF Chief Research Officer, Paul Donato, to conclude the event.

Join us as we also honor excellence and showcase achievements in our field with announcements of the Best Paper and Reviewer of 2022 and key JAR initiatives, including the Journal’s 2023 Research Priorities and collaborative projects with industry.

• Badass Endorsers: What makes negative, unscrupulous characters, like “Breaking Bad” antihero Walter White, effective product endorsers?
• Influencer KPIs across Platforms: What are key differences in followers and engagement patterns on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter?
