THRIVING IN THE POST-DIGITAL AGE
You've known for a while that your customers have increasing power over your competitive strategy. But remember that now empowered customers also believe they deserve something. And the boundary between physical and digital is irrelevant to your customers and even to the internal systems you use for planning and management. This means that even the most mature attempts at data-driven digital marketing are too siloed to meet customer needs and differentiate your brand. This session will equip you for your next marketing transformation.

Consumer Relevance In An Increasingly Fragmented World
In the fragmented media ecosystem we live in, buying media hasn’t kept pace with the way consumers consume media. While an individual will receive advertising on multiple media channels during any given day that all contribute to one mind making a set of decisions, marketers rarely take advantage of the tools, technologies, and systems in place today to ensure that they are delivering the right combination of messages to each individual. The result is inefficient use of marketing budgets across media channels and consumers frustrated and confused by the messages they receive. In this session, Nishat Mehta from 84.51° will talk about innovative work they have done to help marketers plan, target, and measure the performance of their media across any addressable media channel.
With AcxiomDigital Transformation And The Future Of Customer Experience
