Mobile Commerce in Daily Life

Data Management Platforms (DMPs) have helped marketers improve digital advertising in the last 10 years by providing easy access to 3rd party global audience segments, but smart marketers have realized that this isn’t enough.

Modern marketers are now looking for ways to incorporate 1st party data into their entire marketing strategy but the problem is that this data is frequently siloed and challenging to access/analyze fast enough to keep up with market demands.

The solution is a Customer Data Platform (CDP) which is a new system - recently recognized by Gartner - that works in harmony with existing marketing technology to connect internal 1st party data, with external 2nd or 3rd party data.

Join us for our webinar and you will learn:

- How to leverage your most valuable asset - 1st party data - to maximize your programmatic advertising impact.
- The common pitfalls of working only with 2nd and 3rd party data
- Gain a deep understanding why it’s crucial to unify 1st party data for holistic customer insights as well as activation.
- Why a Customer Data Platform is essential to integrate 1st party data with your Data Management Platform.

While this is important in a pre-sales capacity, it’s table stakes for delivering a customer experience that surprises and delights. In this session, we’ll talk about how to define your customer’s lifecycle, and how to apply the fundamentals of ABM (account selection, insights, segmentation and messaging, play development, and measurement) in a post-sale capacity for the purpose of retaining customers, nurturing loyalty, and motivating advocates.

Account-based marketers talk a lot about being customer-centric. But the reality is that most ABM programs take a broad-brush approach to targeting customers that we think should be interested in our solutions.

A truly customer-centric approach, especially with key accounts, begins with a deep dive into each customer’s business issues and then partners with them to design new solutions and shared success.

This session will explore why and how a collaborative ABM approach can drive innovation, growth, loyalty, and advocacy with key accounts. The session includes a deep dive into Juniper Network’s award-winning ABM program, as well as examples from other companies including Accenture, Fujitsu, and KPMG.

Key takeaways include:

- The importance of collaborative innovation with key accounts
- The value of transparency: ABM “with” not “for” key accounts
- The research and development foundation required for collaborative ABM
- Metrics beyond revenue: Measuring success with collaborative ABM

Digital automation tools for marketing are here to stay. They’re getting smarter, and they’re changing the way we think about everything we do as marketers, from how we qualify leads to what content we produce to how we align our sales and marketing teams.

Aligning marketing and sales has always been a challenging – yet critically important – exercise. You have to define a common language, synchronize strategies, and execute in such a way that each team empowers the other’s success, despite differences in timelines, drivers and goals.

As the marketing world shifts to embrace digital platforms, particularly around the concept of account-based marketing (ABM), we’re re-evaluating how we can best achieve alignment, and we’re exploring what these new tools offer to expedite and streamline that process.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

- The foundations of sales and marketing alignment: what it looks like and why it’s critical to overall company success
- How sales and marketing alignment looks different in our emerging ABM world
- Which digital ABM tools assist in delivering a foundation for alignment

After watching, you’ll have a framework that will help ensure both groups are synergizing their efforts, and you’ll gain an understanding of how account-based marketing tools can be used to optimize that synergy and deliver a bigger pipeline of opportunities.

The rise of account-based marketing (ABM) has brought to the fore two distinctly different approaches: One-to-one for strategic accounts and one-to-many for broader market segments.

With a true one-to-one, Strategic ABM approach, marketers work hand-in-hand with key account teams to create highly customized programs for individual clients. This can generate dramatic returns but scaling beyond a small number of accounts is hard to afford.

With a one-to-many, Programmatic ABM approach, marketers identify dozens, hundreds, or even a few thousand named accounts and organize segment-oriented campaigns to drive desirable opportunities through the pipeline. ABM works at scale from the beginning; the key challenge is going deeper with your most important accounts.

Between these two extremes, a one-to-few, cluster-based approach can split the difference by focusing customized programs on small groups of accounts with similar business issues and initiatives. Marketers craft highly targeted value propositions based on deep insight, a new point of view, and tight collaboration with sales. Examples might include groups of 5-10 large grocery chains, automotive suppliers, or life science firms, each group having similar business challenges.

This session will explore the why, what, and how of a one-to-few, ABM Lite approach with data and examples from ITSMA research and experience in the field. Key takeaways include:

- Critical elements of the three types of ABM and how best to apply them
- Readiness criteria for a one-to-few, ABM Lite approach
- ABM Lite examples and tactics
- ABM Lite metrics and impact

In the B2B world, aligning sales and marketing has been a challenge going back decades. If you believe the stereotype, it's because marketing is the colouring-in department and sales are know-it-alls who don’t listen. This session will look at how to align the two when adopting an Account Based Marketing strategy.

Hosted by Luella Ben Aziza, Strategy Director at MomentumABM

Drawing on client examples and insights Luella will explore how ABM delivers the best returns – giving marketing a seat at the top table through closer alignment with sales and commercial goals. In this session Luella will discuss -
• The different models of ABM and how to choose the best fit for your organisation
• How to implement and grow a strategic ABM programme, balancing 1:1 focus for high-value opportunities whilst clustering and reaching a broader set of accounts.
• Understand where automation fits in to ABM – including automated insight platforms and programmatic tactics – and how to blend tech tools with ABM expertise.

We have a problem. We’ve created a machine which is narrowing our view of the world. For many people, social media is now their primary news source – algorithmically serving us with the opinions and values we want to see. This is driving divides in society and pushing opinions to their extremes; from the posturing of Trump, to Brexit.

Most people are passive consumers of content, how then do we open their view of the world? How can we adjust feed algorithms for maximum impact? Should we trust private companies with the shaping of society? Is there ever a "good" way to manipulate sentiment?

- Outline six potential solutions
- Describe the most effective strategy for breaking out of echo chambers

There is a misconception that infusing automation into the customer experience will make it less human, and thus less relatable, to consumers. On the contrary, companies are pioneering AI technologies to enable them to gain a deeper understanding of the people they serve, resulting in experiences that are more relevant, personal, emotional, and ultimately rewarding--for customer and company alike.

Join Assaf Baciu, head of product and co-founder of Persado, who will demonstrate how Fortune 1000 brands are leveraging machine learning to create emotional relationships with their audiences.
