YMC TALKS: “The Anatomy of a Winning Campaign” 2024

The FCS Young Members Circle (YMC) will stage its second annual “Anatomy of a Winning Campaign” — an in-person, after work reception featuring a panel discussion with three rising stars from brands whose recent marketing campaigns have garnered top prizes from the FCS.

If you’re age 39 or younger, join us on Thursday, May 16 at the Dotdash Meredith headquarters in Downtown Manhattan. Networking begins at 5:30pm, with the program set for a 6:15pm start.

What makes an award-winning campaign? Is it undeniably successful metrics and KPIs? Showstopping creative that can’t be missed? A buzz-worthy big idea that challenges the status quo? The team and minds behind the brief and execution? All of the above?

Who better to help us dissect the anatomy of an award-winning campaign than a trio of marketers with hands-on experience? Following on the heels of this year’s FCS Portfolio Awards, there is much to learn from the brands that collected Gold at our Gala. 

Our featured speakers will include:

  • Niki Laczewski, Brand Strategist, Vanguard
  • Jennifer Eaker, Vice President, Content Marketing, Bank of America
  • Tony Foster, Art Director – Brand Strategy, American Century Investments
  • Taylor Sassu, Associate Director, Marketing, Dotdash Meredith (moderator)

Join us for cocktails, conversation, and not-to-be-missed content! Reserve your spot at our YMC TALKS reception today – seating is limited.

For industry friends who have yet to join the FCS YMC, we’re offering a special one-time price ($125) that includes a ticket to the reception plus a one-year membership ($95 value).  To take advantage of this offer (new members only), please contact FCS Admin Coordinator Marisa Jago, [email protected].
