3 Steps to Evolve Marketing Analytics from Manual to Autonomous Recorded: May 13 2020 61 mins

Varun Kohli, Co-founder & Chief Business Officer, Stealth (Autonomous Intelligence) Startup

How many marketers could answer complex questions like “Which 2 campaigns are demonstrating more than 10% growth in number of opportunities quarter over quarter?” 

Among the organizations we’ve surveyed, maybe two out of ten. 80% would have to wait for a data analyst to create a report, a very manual human-to-human process. What if a machine-to-human AI approach could deliver those insights in seconds and without any manual work or asking questions?

It’s time to solve the “last-mile” problem of user adoption and reduce dependence on reports and dashboards. Join this session to learn how one CMO went from 13-months-prep-time-for-the-annual-report approach to:

Scaling BI and analytics tools beyond analysts to regular marketing users
Leveraging AI and ML to automatically surface and deliver business insights
Interacting with data through natural language audio-visuals instead of creating more reports and dashboards

Rethinking Relevance: Making Content Count Amid Overwhelming Uncertainty Recorded: May 13 2020 61 mins

Rob Leavitt, Senior Vice President, Consulting, ITSMA

Content marketing is never easy even in the best of times. B2B audiences have little time, little tolerance for anything but the most relevant and compelling material, and timing is everything (i.e., if it’s not the right time, don’t bother me!).

Today, of course, we’re not exactly living through the best of times. Amid the onoing pandemic, B2B buyers are dealing with extreme market disruption and a fundamental rethink of where their businesses go next. Every industry and every account is different but overwhelming uncertainty is everyone’s new normal.

In this context, how can we develop and deliver content that counts? What are our customers and prospects looking for, how can we know, and how can we be most helpful in this most stressful of times? We’ve already pivoted to deal with the lockdown; how should we think about content marketing for the rest of this year and beyond?

Join ITSMA’s Rob Leavitt to explore what’s working now and what’s next for content marketing as we begin to shift from immediate responses to the COVID-19 crisis to the “next normal” of ongoing uncertainty. Rob will showcase effective new approaches and explore longer term guidelines for successful content marketing in a constantly changing environment.

THINK inside the box: The Evolution of Content Recorded: May 13 2020 35 mins

Shallu Behar-Sheehan, CMO, Truata

Many of us are exposed to the adage to constantly think outside the box.

However, if we pause for a moment and recognise that our ‘new normal’ has resulted in not just us experiencing isolation, but also our budgets. We tend not to venture thinking inside the box because we are consumed with what’s outside it.

The evolution of content during a crisis is forcing us to re-evaluate, repurpose & refresh what we have spent hours initially creating. Great content has the potential to stay relevant for evergreen use.

Join this session and take away insights from the following:

The 3 Cs (contact-centric content) and how to re-build this view
The content conundrum – how to re-purpose the content strategy
