Have you ever presented a killer campaign only to have management reject it because they didn’t like it? Or worse, did you get pressured to move forward with creative elements you knew wouldn’t resonate with your buyer? Or maybe what you’re getting back from design is not hitting the mark and you can’t figure out why? The disconnect between our buyers and those who approve campaigns is often large and painful to cross. Yet bridging the gap between the art and science of marketing is a job we can’t afford not to optimize.

In this session, we’ll explore proven methods for using buyer insights to not only enable creative processes to thrive but to appeal to the measurement obsessed approvers at the company.

Like all living, breathing things, a successful marketing program needs the right backbone to keep everything functioning and running smoothly.

Learn how best of the best, like Box, Commvault and Hitachi, have set up their tech stacks for success.

In this session, learn how to identify roadblocks, accelerate delivery of campaigns, and focus on 10x projects -- not the 10% ones.

Executive standards are really high and breaking through the competitive noise is no simple task.

Join ITSMA’s Rob Leavitt and Julie Schwartz to review new research on executive preferences for content and engagement, and five guidelines to orient content marketing to what really works to connect with the executives that matter most.
