It's no secret that brands today are investing more money than ever in marketing technologies to gain better insight into customer preferences and behavior. We rely heavily on these systems to collect data and deliver the best experience for engaging and converting visitors. However, when this data isn’t shared between your vendors, you may be overlooking a big opportunity to maximize return on your investments.

This webinar will explore 3 ways to power intelligent marketing campaigns by leveraging real-time data you already have, as well as examine a more practical take on how to extract value from connecting data across your entire technology stack, allowing more timely, relevant, and meaningful interactions with the customer.

Video is a very persuasive medium; it’s engaging and leads can use it to make their way through the entire funnel at their own pace – all you have to do is set up the content journey. At the bottom of the funnel, video can help you seal the deal when it comes to closing and can even help you post-purchase when you want to reinforce that you were the right choice.

In this webinar, we will share tips on how real-world B2B marketers can use video to turn late stage prospects into buyers. We'll also cover:

• 8 different video types to support the BoFu
• How to map your content to different stages of the funnel

• How to connect your video marketing campaigns to ROI

Beginning a video marketing campaign can be daunting, in this webinar we will discuss what to expect when hiring a video production company, where to look for inspiration within your business, and how to leverage one video shoot into multiple pieces of content.

In recent years, spending on B2B marketing and sales technology has seen explosive growth. But sales closing rates and quota attainment have remained flat at best. What’s going on? Today’s companies are more data-driven than ever before, but in this new world of big data and increased business velocity something is clearly undermining the benefits that should come from sales and marketing investments in people, technology and process improvement.

Traditional digital advertising channels are delivering declining results, forcing marketers to look for new alternatives that deliver better ROI. Influencer marketing has emerged as a powerful new addition to the marketing mix.

Both influencers and brands were surveyed to identify where they are aligned in their approach to influencer marketing and where there are gaps between the two. Topic areas covered include:

- Budget allocation
- Preferred social platforms
- Key challenges faced
- Measuring success
- Top performing tactics
- Why influencer marketing works

If it's done right, ROI is the ultimate marketing metric. There are few marketing initiatives that aren't ultimately supposed to strengthen the bottom line. Yet without a clear idea of how your campaigns are targeted, and what your objectives are, a fuzzy focus on ROI becomes an insecure and confusing metric. So how do you do it? When should you start focusing on ROI as your main metric? How do you encompass all the different ways in which marketing outreach (email campaigns, in-app messaging, retargeting, segmentation) contributes to and multiplies ROI?

Join VentureBeat and its panel of experts from top gaming and ecommerce outfits to discuss their own approaches to the problem. In this webinar, we'll be debating:

+ How the best of the best measure ROI (Calculations, methods & techniques: how the experts do it)
+ How to solve key challenges and roadblocks to getting great results
+ Why and when ROI should become your core metric

That may be the hope of many mobile app publishers, but it’s not even remotely true when it comes to the battle for quality users in 2016.

With the continued explosion of digital and data-centric technologies, a rich stream of customer data is increasingly available to today’s marketers – and a company’s first-party data is undoubtedly a growing source of competitive advantage. But the opportunity to generate deeper customer insights and understanding with that data comes with the expectation of a connection or interaction that goes beyond the transactional.

During this interactive discussion, Adam Corey - VP of Marketing at Tealium - will explore how data has become the new 'value exchange' between brands and consumers, and how to leverage that data to generate business value while maintaining consumer trust and loyalty. He'll share:
- the pivotal moments of data capture that brands should focus on (or steer away from)
- the key differences between a transactional vs. emotional data exchange
- the core principles of a successful data-driven approach
- the critical elements of a comprehensive data security/ privacy practice

We hope you'll join us.

A core element of successful customer engagement is not just a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s preferences and interests, but also any and all interactions with your brand.
