Driving Demand through End-to-End Marketing

Partners are incredibly valuable when it comes to B2B marketing; they can unlock your marketing potential by accessing a wide customer base. But there are also some challenges: keeping control of content and channels while maximising the impact of your initiatives.

In this webinar we will show you how Microsoft used their partners to amplify their content through social media.

Think about it - your customers have a very intimate relationship with their mobiles. Beware!

It’s amazing how many marketers still enthuse about their “mobile first” approach to digital. Sure, many of you will have over half your web traffic from mobile devices, and most of your social engagement of smartphones.
But what about the unique mobile customer?

Drawing on case studies from Amazon, Clever Cards, FT.com, Selfridges and Starbucks, this 45 minute session looks at how to deliver the best mobile customer experience in your sector.

- Create a great first impression - any screen, any time, any place
- Wow the early adopters - win the hearts & minds of your greatest fans and resellers
- Develop exceptional UX - across sites, apps
- Make it personal, keep them coming back for more - across the whole customer journey

Consumers are constantly bombarded across multiple channels with branded messages, so how can the gamification of the mobile customer experience help brands to increase engagement, loyalty and improve customer value when most consumers have already tuned out? The Economist Intelligence Unit showed that companies share a conviction that cultivating a high level of customer engagement is now a key strategic challenge.

This panel discussion explores whether Gamification, as an engagement technique, can help Marketers to secure consumer mind share, giving their brands a competitive advantage, or is it just a passing gimmick that won’t deliver against this strategic goal?

Do you ever wonder whether your digital marketing campaigns are really working?

In our recent research project, ‘Emerging Trends in Digital Marketing’, First Point Research & Consulting and Sitecore surveyed 330 marketing managers… and the results tell a pretty worrying tale.

When we dug deeper, we discovered that the majority of these respondents were senior marketers with over 15 years’ experience.

So, to sum-up most marketing managers:

- are spending most of their budgets on apparently ‘overrated’ offline channels
- aren’t tracking ROI correctly (or, in some cases, at all!)

BUT

- think they’re doing a darn good job when it comes to digital marketing…

For all of the good that data can do for businesses though, there’s one major issue that it presents: information overload. Many companies try to focus on too many different metrics without focusing on those that truly matter.
