Future Of Marketing - Transformation from Cost Center to C-Suite Catalyst
How does the rest of your organization view the marketing department? If you believe it's seen as a cost center, then this session is meant for you!
Thinking of marketing exclusively in terms of costs associated with it seems dangerously misguided. But that’s exactly what happens when marketing departments aren’t geared to deliver measurable results and unable to tie marketing activities into revenue recognition.
This session aims to map the journey of how any organization can successfully transform marketing’s perception from a cost center to a value center by embracing a potent combination of marketing strategies, right tech adoption & global best practices.
Rearchitecting MarTech with Blockchain
There is a line in the sand for the marketing industry. January 2022. All the third-party cookies and identifiers will be removed from all digital engagement systems. The Big Tech companies are building their own proprietary mechanism to balance privacy over personalisation. Agency networks are launching identity management solutions. Publishers are launching consortiums. Industry pundits call it a rearchitecture.
This session will talk about how the distributed ledger technology helps the industry in this rearchitecture. From building and enabling new marketplaces to cross-media measurement to providing provenance of identities and impressions. Change is in the air. Are we ready?
Panel Discussion: Why Outcomes are the Metrics that Matter in 2021
While the majority of marketers leverage data to plan their future advertising campaigns, only one in three optimize their ads in-flight for outcomes, according to a recent study by LoopMe and Sapio. With consumer behaviour constantly changing - and with an increased focus on ad effectiveness - an outcomes-based approach that combines consumer data and real-time AI optimization is fundamental to campaign success.
Learn how to drive more impact across your digital campaigns with outcomes-based advertising.

- How to shift focus to deliver the outcomes that advertisers truly value (brand lift, foot traffic, and offline and online sales)
- Ways to measure ad effectiveness that drives outcomes with in-flight AI optimization
- Best practices on delivering incrementally and ROI
