NEW YORK – March 18 2021 – This month, The Millennium Alliance celebrates its 7th Anniversary. It has been the most challenging twelve months to date, but with great challenge also comes great opportunity. Since its founding in 2014, The Millennium Alliance has always been committed to guiding their members through good times and tough ones as well, which is why Millennium was eager to push through the disruption that rocked almost every industry just one year ago. 

For our events business, the cancelling of in-person assemblies left Millennium with the question of how to create new ways to maintain a sense of community among its members and technology partners when frictionless communication was more important than ever. This led The Millennium Alliance to successfully mimic its two day in-person assembly model with the launch of a portfolio of virtual offerings, including its Educate & Engage Virtual Platform, as well as Two-Day Virtual Assemblies. These new offerings have perfectly complimented Millennium’s existing digital portfolio, including The Digital Diary Content Platform, the rapidly growing #MillenniumLive Podcast Series, as well as industry-leading Executive Education Opportunities. These Virtual Assemblies started off as a quick solution in response to unforeseen circumstances, but have quickly evolved into an innovative way to expand Millennium’s network, form new partnerships, and reach C-Suite executives from all across the country from the convenience of their home office.  

“As we celebrate our Anniversary, it’s truly rewarding to look back on just how much we as a company have accomplished since Rob and I founded Millennium seven years ago. In what was a tough year for not just our industry, but for the entire country, I am incredibly appreciative for each person on our team, our members, our partners, and thought leaders who have supported us and helped to elevate our company to new heights over the past year. The best is yet to come and I am fully expecting our 7th year to be Millennium’s most successful one yet.” Alex Sobol, Co-Founder, The Millennium Alliances

Digital Healthcare & Patient Experience Assembly with Keynote David Edelman

The Digital Healthcare & Patient Experience Virtual Assembly kicks off with our Keynote David Edelman, the Former CMO at Aetna and present-day consulting leader in Digital Transformation and Marketing Strategy. David Edelman has built a global reputation, grounded by his development of foundational marketing concepts such as “The Customer Decision Journey,” and “Segment-of-One Marketing.” He has been repeatedly recognized by Forbes as one of the “Most Influential CMOs in the
World,” and by AdWeek as one of the “Top 20 Marketing and Technology Executives.” His writing and work has attracted over 1.2 million followers to his LinkedIn blog. For the last four years, David served as Chief Marketing Officer of Aetna, now part of the $200B healthcare giant CVS Health, and ran its “Digital First” enterprise modernization program. He drove a broad transformation at Aetna, rebranding the 166 year-old company, implementing real-time analytics, and building agile operations.

The overwhelming implications of COVID-19 have defined a generation, but despite the hardships Americans are facing today, it’s shown us that social media is a momentous tool for building awareness & delivering aid to those in need. The Pivot Project, co-founded by our Advisory Board member, Cynthia Johnson, is set to do just that: utilize digital content & social media to crowdsource solutions to COVID-19’s problems – at a mass scale. 

The Millennium Alliance is honored to announce a partnership with Pivot Project to bring awareness to social causes that are actively seeking solutions. So you can stay in the know, we will regularly share success stories & opportunities on our social media & Digital Diary. We’re also excited to share that pretty soon, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with Pivot Project’s team at our virtual assemblies to learn how your organization can get involved. 

Cynthia Johnson adds, “Once quarantines started being implemented in the beginning of the pandemic, Nick Peacock-Smith (Millennium Alliance Alumni) and I connected over our frustration with feeling helpless as the world seemingly fell apart,” said Cynthia. “Over a short conversation, we discovered that we weren’t helpless and we weren’t alone in how we felt. Many people in our networks are helpers. We believe and have repeatedly been proven right that well-connected, well-intentioned people love to provide solutions and could if they clearly understood the problems. This realization was our inspiration to launch the Pivot Project, to make an impact and help as many people as we can. This partnership with Millennium Alliance is an obvious fit for creating real-time solution-center collaboration with real leaders who care about making a long-lasting impact. Together is how we will make a difference in the lives impacted by COVID-19. We look forward to the outcomes these conversations create.”

We asked Cynthia, “What is the value of companies getting involved during this time?”

“The value for companies getting involved during this time is the collaboration between brands, and brands and communities. We also understand that marketing and advertising is highly sensitive and a bit difficult at this time. Pivot Projects open the door for meaningful and impactful campaigns that are timely, helpful, and demonstrate positive brand sentiment.”

How Does The Pivot Project Work?

When creating the concept for Pivot Project, Cynthia & her team recognized that there were already many organizations that were helping out and many initiatives that already exist. They asked themselves, “How can we help in a way that provides value and doesn’t dilute or duplicate current efforts?” That’s when they realized a common theme among many of the existing initiatives; they needed more reach and awareness. 

How can we help people and organizations find solutions? The Pivot Project’s answer: to create a centralized location for state and federal resources, vetted non-profit organizations, public initiatives, and develop a team of volunteer media partners, brands, influencers, and writers to help deliver the additional reach.
