David Stutts
VP / Director of Brand Planning, Luckie & Company
With each American generation, the definition of motherhood has changed dramatically. In his three-part series of white papers, “Rethinking Mom,” David Stutts has chronicled the cultural shift from the latchkey, double-income Boomer families to the hands-on and highly educated Gen Y Mommy Tsunami, which is just beginning to create the largest baby boom in U.S. history. David will share his findings and explain how businesses must adapt to the new meaning of “mom.”
David Griner

But David Griner has helped Luckie clients such as Little Debbie connect with modern moms in an earnest, long-term way that’s built on mutual respect. He’ll discuss the many ways businesses are reaching out to today’s moms and share some tips on making it a great experience for everyone involved.
