INTERACTIVE PANEL & WORKSHOP
Get Back In The Driver’s Seat: Taking Control Of Your Metrics To Deliver More Efficient and Effective Marketing Today’s economic climate means justifying marketing spend is more critical than ever. Yet as you know, demonstrating ROI is not as simple as the CFO may believe! With the plethora of new marketing channels, knowing what to measure, and which metrics to apply has become more complex.
- How do you measure the tangible vs. intangible?
- Can sentiment analysis provide an accurate account of reputation?
- Do you even need to measure ROI?
- Will the ‘measure, measure, measure’ mentality hamper innovation?
Take part in this controversial debate on this critical issue, and walk away with the practical knowledge you need to proactively defend your budgets, work with finance to agree the right set of measures, and ensure continuity in your metrics, and more importantly, your learning.
Format: Hear from 3 experts in TED style presentations, each covering different perspectives on marketing ROI. Then, it’s over to you to discuss, debate and get stuck in with your own ideas. Your market leading facilitators will guide you through discussions and to round the session off, will draw out key action points to be shared with the entire group.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP: DOING MORE WITH LESS
What Would You Do If… The Unthinkable Happened?
Building your brand in an economic climate where budgets are decreasing and expectations of customers and stakeholders are increasing, is no easy task, but one that must be done come what may! This exciting session has been designed to get you thinking outside of the box, pushing the boundaries of possibility and generating new ideas that can be applied to real business problems.
How does it work? Facilitated by a cross-industry selection of brand leaders, each of who have varied marketing budgets, find out how they have applied the following principles in their marketing careers, and what the impact has been on their business:
- Tear it down and start from scratch – don’t do it, just because that’s what’s been done
- Think the unthinkable – what would you do if you had just 10% of your current budget?
- New ways of working – driving creativity through new channels and new media
Using these examples as a starting point, you’ll be split into groups of those who face similar challenges to you. You’ll have 20 minutes to discuss and agree a common goal, and decide what 3 things you would do to reach that goal if you had to start from scratch, with a heavily reduced marketing budget. The final 20 minutes will be spent sharing the feedback with the wider group, and a winning team for
“most innovative ideas” will receive a gift at the end!
The objective: To apply pragmatic and creative thinking to real life challenges that will provide you real life solutions.
The Future of Marketing
In the last 10 years mass marketing has been shown the back door, while targeted, personalised customer and consumer engagement has been welcomed in. Marketing is also no longer a linear process. In fact it’s highly fragmented. The plethora of new websites and personal mobile devices mean customers can connect with each other and the businesses they buy from through a variety of channels, at any time of day, anywhere in the world. The need for marketers to connect the dots is therefore a necessity if they’re to meet customer and consumer expectations.
Future-proof your marketing function by attending this critical discussion. Hear from some of the world’s most controversial business minds from a range of disciplines, and find out:
- How to adapt your marketing strategies to cater for Gen Y – the net generation of marketing decision-makers
- Which strategies, solutions and business-led technologies are already being adopted by CMOs today – plus, what has already delivered results?
- Which consumer-led technologies you should be aware of, and how they will impact your marketing for the future
- How to source and develop the right talent to keep your marketing function at the forefront of business excellence
- How a new single digital EU market could open the lines to new business opportunities
