9:15am – 9:35am "No dead ends" by Matt Walsh / Crispin Porter + Bogusky

Too many marketing efforts result in “dead ends” for the consumer. Integrated communications dissolve in scattershot executions. Marketers create emotional preference, but they fail to build a relationship or provide clear paths to conversion.

9:35am – 9:50am Marketing well orchestrated. April Mullen / Scottrade

The day of manual stand-alone campaigns is over. Today, marketing is about a series of personalized, integrated touch points, each triggered as a result of rich data, testing and automation. Learn how Scottrade has moved beyond campaigns into multistep, multiwave interactions that drive new levels of customer engagement and customer growth.

9:50am – 10:05am The future of Display has arrived. Sandy Martin / Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group

Until now, display advertising has been a high-cost, low-return game: marketing to many to reach a few. See how Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group turns that paradigm on its head by using Responsys Interact for Display to retarget individuals and add a new channel to the company’s relationship marketing mix.

10:05am – 10:20am Introducing the social data cloud. Shawn Myers / Responsys

Brands are increasingly panicky about the latest and greatest social media platform. Google+, Pinterest, or whatever. We’re forgetting the lesson we learned two years ago: It’s what you share, not where you share it. Social media is driven by the quality of the conversation, not the platform where it happens. Because in the end, only one thing really matters: Do customers want to talk with you?

11:10am – 11:25am Understanding your customer's "Digital Self". Christopher Parkin / Adobe

Data, in all of its forms, paints the picture of who your customer really is, your customer’s Digital Self… and within that lies the smaller, critical insights that will drive your marketing success.
