“Leveraging Analytics to Drive Marketing Success” 

Session Description:
In today’s economic environment, it is not just the bankers who are in trouble. Marketers are faced with tough decisions, too – many companies are cutting their marketing budgets, but they don’t want to give up marketing altogether. Unless they figure out a way to stop customer attrition, companies must continue to market. The question is: What should they give up?

In these difficult times, analytics may be the best budget investment. Analytics play a vital role in the decision-making process, helping marketers manage their channels and list sources using scientific measurements and carefully designed response analyses. Marketers should never make cost-cutting decisions without first reviewing performance indicators.

Session Description:
Managing advertising programs across many products, geographies and audiences is extremely difficult – especially when a weak economy puts your budgets at risk.

The benefits of a Digital Center of Excellence (DCOE) are vast and go far beyond cost savings. Attendees will learn how the DCOE concept provides a foundation for performance optimization, operational efficiency and program accountability across paid search advertising, natural search optimization and other digital advertising programs.
