Kick-off your MarTech experience by exploring the specific ways both B2B and B2C customers have changed as a direct result of the events of 2020... and what you need to know to effectively reach them in the New Year and beyond.
On March 13, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a national emergency. Within days, cities and states started to lock down, and all our worlds changed. Social distancing, remote working, video meetings, collaboration platforms, virtual events, shopping online, pick up or delivery – we learned a whole new vocabulary.
As marketers, we saw rapid, profound, and perhaps permanent changes in customer behavior, both among consumers and among B2B purchasing teams. Some brands found weaknesses exposed as they raced to accelerate digital transformation; others found tremendous strength as they responded to changing demands with agility and unimagined speed.
Whether 2020 was a year of great struggle or great success for your organization, you won't want to miss this candid, eye-opening keynote led by MarTech Today editorial director Kim Davis.
Kim will be joined by a panel of industry experts -- featuring Craig Rosenberg (Distinguished VP, Analyst at Gartner), Martin Ekechukwu (Chief Executive Officer at WHTWRKS Inc.), and Teresa Barreira (CMO at Publicis Sapient) to discuss the ongoing obstacles and opportunities facing senior marketers like you, revealing first-hand advice and insights on your changing customer and what's coming next.

Genius brands put experience at the intersection of content and data, delivering personalized and impactful experiences at zero moments of truth. As a top CMO imperative, marketing organizations must move away from being cost centers and instead become revenue generators. This requires a new way of working that centers the customer in company culture, org structure, and processes to embrace unparalleled customer-centricity. Teams must reinvent processes to take "work about work" out of daily tasks so they can focus on unleashing the power of their content and maximizing every experience they put in market.

Customer-centric initiatives typically involve looking at customer-facing functions and improving them. But they do not ask a fundamental question: Why does a customer want my product? Understanding underlying motivations often results in the realization that a customer has “a job to do” or “a task to complete”. Seeker centricity involves really understanding these motivations and providing everything the customer needs to meet that goal.
Join Raj de Datta, author and CEO at Bloomreach, to learn why winning digital means winning the seekers -- and hear what three things the winners in the digital business age have in common.

Third-party data’s downfall has been a hot topic for the last few years. As privacy legislation like GDPR and CCPA become more prominent and browsers put forth additional limitations on third-party cookies, marketers must make the inevitable shift to collecting and using first-party data.

When it comes to digital transformation, data continues to be an organization's Achilles heel. We see organizations struggle to structure and organize their data in ways that help them get faster results. Every organization wants to deliver more relevant and more personalized experiences, optimize marketing, sales, and service channel performance, understand customer behavior, build more targeted audiences, empower their sales reps, etc. It's no surprise that at the core, every one of these outcomes leverages pretty much the same data. Yet each group builds its own data constructs from the ground up. This increases spend, time to market, and can result in inconsistencies.
Join Gaelyn Almeida, Sr. Director, Tech Advisory at Merkle, and Frank Hong, Software Group Manager at T. Rowe Price, for a session that will benefit technologists, marketers, and management alike -- it will open your eyes to the various uses of data, the multiple platforms that are in play, and most importantly, how to change the way data is managed and operationalized.

Customer data privacy, control, and usage have taken center stage in 2021 as enterprises rapidly pursue differentiated online customer experiences. The benefits are significant -- revenues attributed to big data and customer data analytics surpass tens of billions of dollars annually. Yet, while customer data is the lifeblood of business models and differentiating experiences, customers are wary of the risks and vulnerabilities of sharing their data due to data breaches, identity theft, and unwanted usage of personal data. Customers express anxiety and negative reactions to any personal data collection efforts. The bridge between these two positions is trust: Customers that trust a brand are more willing to share their personal data.

Recent data tells us that more than 80 percent of marketers have upgraded a martech app in the last year. But among mid-sized and upper mid-market brands, there’s often reticence to shift course. Once growing marketing teams have found a martech stack that “works fine,” there’s often no easily discernable benefit to changing things up. This inertia, though, is how marketing teams can plateau -- losing out on opportunity and revenue in the process.

Customer expectations for both personalization and data-privacy are high and continuing to gain prominence. Not only do they expect digital experiences to be tailored to their interests, but they also want to be involved with the data used to drive them. They want to have control over what’s being collected and how it’s being used, including their payment preferences, device choices, subscription history — you name it.
And they’re completely in the right. For years, marketers have been simultaneously complaining about data deluge and delivering sub-par experiences. It doesn’t add up. As stricter data privacy laws are implemented across channels in 2021, the problem will shift from too much data to not enough usable data. A failure to strategize around this shift will certainly spell doom for businesses, and most likely result in low acquisition and high churn rates.
