Managing and Maximizing Your Online Identity

At its best, an organization’s content anticipates the needs and interests of those they wish to start or advance a conversation with. It’s simply there when audiences need it and served up in an easily accessible and engageable manner that adds up to a positive experience.

Conversely, gaps in content availability, inattention to the steps required to get one’s content, and disconnected follow-up leads to negative experiences and, ultimately, unmet objectives.

Join us as we examine:
- How to assess whether you have the content you need
- What it takes to create a reliable and effective content engine
- The friction points that impede content engagement (and how to address them)

In recent years, many companies and marketers struggle to prove the return on investment in content marketing and how storytelling plays such a pivotal role in the overall business strategy. On the other hand, companies who focus only on Return-On-Investment (ROI) face unsurmountable challenges in turning new customers into returning customers.

If you want your company to outshine your competitors, return on emotion (ROE) is the real key in balancing your monetary returns and getting your customers return yet again and again.

In this session, I’ll share with you:

- Why measuring ROI is no longer sufficient in your customer acquisition and retention strategy
- What Return-On-Emotion is all about and why you’ve to focus on this key metric in 2020
- How to strike a balance between driving higher profits and keeping your customers happy and satisfied

Do you think your CEO really cares about how creative your latest storytelling campaign was?

Of course, content, stories and brand experience are the foundation of B2B marketing to generate customer trust as, even with data and marketing automation, we still play on a human-to-human, P2P field.

However a more structured approach is required to engage your seven communities optimally through insights-based storytelling. This requires “pain point-based” stories while delivering maximum ROI at every step of the buyer journey, 90% of which is measurable.

Philippe will explain 10 practical steps as core principles for optimising your storytelling impact with a required ROI and REVENUE focus, accompanied by examples of dashboard/benchmarks, including:

· How to start from a solid data and insights foundation
· Develop a list of key questions on your stakeholders’ mind
· Which KPIs to use as priority for your content, campaigns and channels

Not only are insights and ROI key components of your storytelling strategy but also the visualisation of your data into stories. The DATYLON framework and examples will also explain further how the way you communicate your data and stories to your stakeholders is key in WOW-ing your audiences, from customers to CEO.

In order to make intelligent decisions from marketing data, B2B marketing execs need smart, precise data. Locating, vetting and analyzing this data, however, is one of the least exciting things for companies to prioritize. Many companies will choose volume over value and continue piling new data into their CRMs rather than taking on the slower, long-term work on proper data cultivation.

Join Launch Marketing’s Founder and CEO Christa Tuttle as she explores the importance of a strong data foundation in maximizing the profit potential of marketing. This presentation will discuss the true value of data in several components of an integrated marketing plan, from messaging, lead generation and more.
