Top 5 Myths of Brand Advocacy REVEALED

In today’s expanding marketing landscape—not to mention today’s increasingly complex matrix known as the customer journey—the chief marketing officer is faced with sheer and unadulterated chaos. From the multiplying channels that our customers are defining as their most valued to the massive amounts of customer data and intelligence flooding (i.e., clogging) our analytics and intelligence systems, CMOs must wrangle and tame the complexity in order to make better decisions faster and have true visibility and transparency into performance, outcomes and value to the business.

Unfortunately, the old standards of marketing operations no longer apply, and new approaches, alignments and agility must be included. To delve into the issues of chaos, operations and the mandates to make bold business decisions, the CMO Council, in partnership with Aprimo, will host a one-hour interactive webcast to discuss the complexities and opportunities of modern marketing management. Among the topics to be discussed are:

•How to deliver marketing results at scale with total accountability and transparency in operations
•Best practices to create order from chaos, bringing actionable insights from marketing programs to enhance results and prove ROI

Joining the CMO Council for this best-practice dialogue will be brand leaders who are transforming the chaos across the organization, as well as marketing operations experts who will share examples of where and how transformation can help tame the chaos and turn it into a profitable process.

In a data-centric workforce, metrics and benchmarks provide professionals reasons to invest, alter, and evolve their strategy. One of the biggest trends in content creation and delivery is conducting surveys to capture your target audience’s pain points, thoughts, strategies, and drivers.

As companies continue to compete for market space, one strategy to approach the industry is to create and conduct insightful studies. Prospects and customers alike want to understand the latest trends, what their peers are doing, and where their industry is going. When done right, research elevates your gravitas in the market and serves as an effective way to engage your prospects -- both while completing the study as well as revealing the results.

Join Frost & Sullivan and BrightTALK for an in-depth discussion on research reports and findings. Topics include (but not limited to):
- Defining your goals for conducting research
- How to structure your report for ideal results
- Converting data into marketing content

Addressing these ideas through the concepts of mobile aesthetics, user authenticity, personalization, humor, narrative, and serialization, David, Mark, and Mark explain how to optimize your video marketing for the vast mobile audience.
