Delighting Customers at Every Touchpoint September 13 - 16, 2015, Coronado, California
Today's customers have high expectations. At this iMedia Brand Summit, we'll address the changing consumer behaviors, attitudes, and habits that marketers must understand in order to meet those expectations. We're looking externally at these consumer trends -- their needs, wants, and desires -- and how marketers can use the tools and tactics at their disposal in order to address emerging trends and requirements in the following areas:
- eCommerce: Connecting digital with physical
- The trouble with aggregators: How to ensure your product is properly represented by 3rd party sites
- From mobile to desktop, and back: measuring across devices
- Blurring the lines between customers wants: when does personalization become stalking?
- Influencer marketing
- Panel of agencies and marketers - how do you communicate?
- Analytics and programmatic - what should be in-house?
- How to manage, read, and overlay data
- Finding, identifying, and retaining talent
- How brands are changing their work with PR
- Delivering a consistent message across platforms
- Loyalty programs
Qualified senior marketers shouldn't miss the "Marketer-Only Meeting" on September 13, a candid, town hall working session with other senior brand marketers that gets to the root of issues and provides a platform for ongoing peer-to-peer networking. (Space is limited).
iMedia is proud to partner with the IAB to present a special breakfast session just for sellers. Join us at 8:00 a.m. Monday morning, September 14 for "Six Questions You'd Better Have The Answers To If You Want to Make the Sale: a quick look at Programmatic, Ad Fraud, Viewability, Liquid Consumers, and more."
