Among others, this list includes technology company Hewlett-Packard (News - Alert), hotel reservation agent HRS and toy manufacturer Hasbro. After having had great success last year with 180 participants from 9 countries, BrandMaker has determined this year's theme to be "The Future of Marketing is Agile (News - Alert)."

Using its HP-branded Co-Marketing Zone, HP makes available to its retailers a large number of marketing materials and marketing campaigns, ranging from CD-compliant advertising material to complete scripts for telemarketing. Partners can then easily adapt these to their own requirements in a few clicks. In another example, participants will learn how Hasbro, famous for classic board games such as Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit, is using the BrandMaker Marketing Efficiency Cloud in a different way: The company uses the technology to organize the localization of its advertising and graphic material. Agency briefing through on-site market specialists, correction runs and approvals, and the finalization of versions are all completely managed using the central marketing platform.
