TalentCap #DMICON Digital Marketing Innovation Conference to Deliver Cross-Industry Insights for ASEAN Real Estate CMOs Leading the Experience in a Customer’s World.

Singapore – August 15, 2018 –

The TalentCap #DMICON Digital Marketing Innovation Conference delivers practical digital marketing insights from global industry leaders. The highpoints include 20+ speakers from across all industries, 2 panel sessions and 3 workshops by prominent international coaches.

The conference is targeted towards key decision makers, C-levels and marketing professionals from every sector and participants will be able to explore how top digital marketing leaders maintain their edge through 27+ different tactical areas of digital marketing. This includes everything from customer experience, video marketing, social media marketing, omnichannel, artificial intelligence, to data and analytics.

Price and features are no longer giving a company an edge.

Digital marketing is revolutionising the customer experience in every sector with interaction between businesses and consumers are becoming more complex, personalised and more interactive. To remain competitive and meet the increasing demands in today’s digital market, ASEAN companies are reinventing themselves by making customer experience as the main focus in their digital marketing and communication strategy. Price and features are no longer giving a company an edge – as  how a company makes the consumers feel is just as, if not more important.

With the market growing highly saturated with the growing numbers of brands offering similar products and services, CMOs have to exploit the latest technology in digital marketing such as artificial intelligence to explore the insights on their customers. According to Forrester Research, insights-driven businesses are gaining an edge on companies that are not insights-driven as they are able to produce content accustomed to every individual consumer.

ASEAN Real Estate Leaders Are Looking Into Innovative Digital Marketing Strategies To Remain Relevant.

The ASEAN property sector is becoming notoriously known for its slow jump in the digital bandwagon, as they prefer to advertise their products using traditional and offline channels. However, to stay relevant in the competition, today’s real estate leaders and marketers are looking into digital advertising to reach out to potential customers while improving their existing customer service by delivering an exceptional customer experience to potential prospect and existing customer.

One of the reasons why property leaders are finding it difficult to provide an A+ customer experience is because they are failing to identify the various touchpoints experienced by prospects and existing customers when dealing with their company – from the initial engagement until parting ways. Both prospects and existing customers are having completely different expectations, demands and touchpoints, therefore it can be difficult for property companies to successfully target and deliver amazing customer experience at every touchpoint.

Issues such as limited channels for inquiry, difficult transition from web browsing to the application process, limited channels for payment and renters aren’t able to get in touch with the management anytime of the day are some of the issues that can decrease the level of customer satisfaction thus affecting the overall customer experience. Poor customer experience can result in loss of prospect as well as the existing customers as they may look into other real estate companies that can provide for them better services.

It is important for companies to list out every potential contact that consumers may have with the company, and review the current procedure and how it can be improved. For example, companies must make sure that their websites are easy to navigate and provide all of the necessary information so prospects can make decisions a lot faster and easier. Besides that, companies must make sure that someone is always available for consumers to get in touch with, even outside regular business hours. Chatbots is greatly solving this issue, as it is possible for chatbots to respond to any inquiry at any given time of the day, in a very precise manner while keeping the conversation feeling “humanlike”.

Customer experience is the responsibility of the entire organisation. All business units within organisations must work hand in hand with their digital marketing teams to ensure that excellent customer experience continues – even after successfully changing a prospect into a customer. By employing suitable digital marketing strategies and technologies, the company can assist their employees in meeting the needs of their customers therefore ensuring an increase in the overall rating for customer satisfaction and experience.

TalentCap #DMICON Digital Marketing Innovation Conference to Tackle CMOs Concerns and Struggles with Digital Marketing.

TalentCap #DMICON Digital Marketing Innovation Conference to Tackle CMOs Concerns and Struggles with Digital Marketing.

The TalentCap #DMICON Digital Marketing Innovation Conference is a tactical conference to be held on the 26 – 27 September 2018 in Singapore. The conference is set to highlight and address concerns that keep Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) up at night – propelled by the rise of digital marketing, big data, and the need to engage customers across multiple platforms on a more personal, interactive level.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – July 10, 2018 –

The conference features practical digital marketing insights from top digital marketing leaders. Participants will be able to discover how global industry leaders maintain their edge through digital marketing. The highlight includes 20+ speakers from across all industries, panel sessions, and workshops by renowned international coach.

The #DMICON Digital Marketing Innovation Conference is targeted towards key decision makers, C-levels and marketing professionals from across all industries, covering 20+ different tactical areas of digital marketing which includes everything from customer experience, video marketing, growth hacking, social media marketing, chatbots, omnichannel to data and analytics.

Business have experienced drastic shifts in the marketing world where technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reshaped how the world connects, communicates, shops and make decisions especially as consumers. The fast rate of change creates not only pressure for CMOs but also the entire business as departments rely on the ability of the marketing organisation to keep track with the changes and correctly steer the company into the right direction.

CMOs Are Amplifying Their Digital Marketing Efforts.

Marketing is about connecting with your audience at the right time and in the right place. Businesses must meet their potential customers where the customers are spending most of their time – on the internet. Online marketing or digital marketing encompasses any form of marketing efforts that exists on the internet and businesses leverage digital channels such as social media, search engines and websites to connect with current and future potential clients.

Some would suggest that digital marketing refers to advertising delivered through digital channels such as search engines, websites, social media, email, and mobile apps. The most common types of digital marketing activities are; paid search or pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, mobile marketing, and marketing automation.

The number of people online are increasing every year and the way people shop have changed along with it – meaning offline marketing is not as effective as it used to be. The ASEAN market is experiencing a rapid growth of digital marketing, social media and mobile activity. With over 370 million internet users have been recorded by January 2018 and the number continues to rise steadily in most counties of the region, the digital sector is booming and attracting a lot of interest. Indonesia itself has over 132.7 million internet users which demonstrate that the internet is an enormous business platform where it can reach a large number of audiences in a much shorter time frame with higher cost efficiency. It is only wise for companies to exploit this phenomenon by investing in strong digital marketing campaigns.

While there are many benefits in bringing your business online, there are also many challenges faced by CMOs and marketers in dealing with this new era of marketing. According to an article by the management and consulting firm McKinsey & Company, the speed of change in the digital space proves as one of the biggest challenges faced by CMOs across the globe. While top-performing companies have agile ways of working to get things done quickly, the reality is that the customer’s level of expectations have drastically increased with their decision journeys are constantly changing, many times faster than a company can react.

Stated by the research company Gartner, the challenge for CMOs today is not about learning new ways to tackle marketing, but to ‘unlearn’ what they have been practising for years and substitute it with new marketing strategies that are more relevant for today’s market. CEOs, board members and CMOs of brick-and-mortar stores have to come out of their comfort zone and begin promoting their brands online in order to stay relevant in the business. Bill Gates, the Co-Founder and Technology Advisor of Microsoft, reveals, “If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business”.

CMOs Are Taking Control Of Their Customer Experience.

Another key challenge faced by CMOs and marketers today, is identifying the correct data in order to predict and improve their services across all touch points to elevate their customer’s experience. Customer experience can include many elements, but according to the market research company Forrester Research, customer experience is defined as the perception customer has of your brand. Customer experience is an essential part of every digital marketing strategy as it is the primary factor for customers in placing their loyalty to a brand. It also becomes the key differentiator in deciding a business’s fate as a recent research has found that over 89% customers will switch their loyalty due to poor customer’s experience.

We are now in an ‘on-demand’ economy where the attention span and tolerance of consumers are far lower than before. Consumers nowadays are accustomed in doing business with establishments that can provide them with seamless experience across the supplier’s lines of business and channels, offer flexibility and tailored to the client’s preferences and terms.

While customer experience is recognised as a crucial factor in deciding the fate of a business, companies are still struggling in effectively elevating their customer experience. Some of the reason are due to the fact that customers’ expectations have increased dramatically over the years and customer experience is a subjective matter, where it can be rated differently for each customer. For instance, a customer may place a greater value in good customer service such as responding to a complaint swiftly while others may prefer business that have multiple channels to make a purchase, such as over the phone or through a physical store.

Forrester Research states that companies must ensure that every area in the business transaction is strong, not just one area in particular. While it is challenging to achieve success in overall customer experience, CMOs and marketers can apply new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence in their business strategies as it has been proven beneficial and able to assist in the company’s growth and success.

CMOs Are Incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Their Digital Marketing Budgets.

Rising customer expectations are driving changes across all industries at an unimaginable scale. Customers are expecting seamless shopping experience across different channels, business transactions on their own terms instead of only from the vendors and content marketing personalised for them. With the purpose of fulfilling the customer’s expectations, it is imperative for CMOs to adopt artificial intelligence into their business as AI can not only assist business to meet these expectations, but also gaining an edge over their more stagnant,  “wait and see” competitors.

Data and content are the most important aspects for digital marketing. AI can help companies in extracting valuable data from their own collections that were unreachable before plus getting deeper insights from a multitude of applications. This enables CMOs to understand their buying behaviours and serve the customers better.

Every time someone browses on the internet, new data is generated and collected for AI analysis. This data can reveal a comprehensive profile on the consumer behaviour, preference and motivation. Based on the consumer profile information, marketing can be optimized to supply and provide the most relevant information to the customer. Customized campaigns can also be conducted to every single customer and prospect based on the data collected such as searches, buying behaviour and interest.

It will be a wise move for CMOs to further align their marketing strategies with AI as it can bring the marketer and customer closer – as the customer will have better understanding of a product while marketer can have a better understanding of their customers.

CMOs Are Taking Charge Of Big Data.

Every business owner knows marketing is vital to the growth of a business. Without marketing, it would be challenging to get your brand’s name out there and even more challenging to capture the interest of potential clients. With the amount of options readily available in the market, consumers have unlimited choices for almost every product or service that they may require. Thus, CMOs and marketers have to come up with innovative marketing campaigns in order to grab the consumer’s attention and ensuring the success and growth of their business.

With technologies nowadays, CMOs have the ability to customise marketing campaigns to each one of their customers based on their specific preference and needs. One of the technologies that contribute to the advancement is big data as it enables marketers to learn vital information about their clients through analytics from previous buys, search engine and other online activities. However, many business owners are still uncomfortable in using new technologies and techniques in their marketing strategies. Companies that choose not to harness the power of big data and other artificial intelligence technologies are surely going to get left behind in todays’ fast pace changing economy.

The global research and advisory firm Gartner defines big data as “high volume, velocity and variety of information that demand innovative forms of processing for enhanced decision-making, business insights or process optimization.” With the right software, big data can assist companies in making more informed decisions about their marketing campaigns – increasing the quality of sale leads and data, improving prospecting list accuracy, win rate and many more.

With all the benefits of big data, using it in business strategy is anything but easy. As the speed of business continues to accelerate and the amount of data increases in size, the incredibly complex undertaking only gets harder to manage. Undetected flaws or gaps will lead to poor results and it can become incredibly overwhelming and frustrating if the user does not understand how to collect and analyse the bountiful amount of data available. However, the ability to process and analyse large of data effectively will surely be profitable to a business, as according to the McKinsey & Company’s research, companies that make use of customer analytics extensively, see a 126% profit improvement over their competitors.

CMOs Are Driving Omnichannel Marketing In Letting The Customer Create Their Own Experience.

Omnichannel marketing is the key to marketing success for today’s economy. Consumers are demanding a seamless shopping experience by being able to engage with companies through variety of ways such as walking in a physical store, calling on the phones, through online websites and social apps.

While it is very challenging for any business to make the interactions and experiences at each point as consistent, seamless and as effective as possible for every customer, it is imperative for companies to employ omnichannel strategies to meet customers wherever they are, regardless of the channel or device. Companies that refuse to keep up with the shift in technology will struggle to stay profitable and lose potential clients to their competitors in today’s ever-changing digital ecosystem.

The shift to omnichannel marketing is not easy and requires a shift in the entire work organisation and company culture. One of the most significant struggle many CMOs faced when implementing omnichannel strategies is making the jump from being business-centric to customer-centric as they have to orchestrate a consistent, seamless and integrated customer experience across all touch points.

Business owners must eliminate traditional channel boundaries where customers are not able to switch channels as they please. For instance, when a customer buys a mobile phone online but are not able to return it at a physical store due to it being part of a different P&L, it is very likely that the customer would be puzzled, surprised or even frustrated by this issue as they see the brand as being a big single company. Therefore, customers are expecting that they are able to buy and return items at any available channel they prefer.

This is an example of how omnichannel is not multiple channel marketing, but is a single channel with multiple touch points, able to deliver a seamless and unified customer experience across all channels and devices.

TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference to Benefit Startups to Gain Traction by Actionable Growth Hacks.

The TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference is a tactical conference to be held on the 25-26th of April 2018 in Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The conference to benefit startups to gain traction by actionable growth hacks.

Participants shall discover how innovative global companies maintain their edge via social media marketing. The conference features practical, action-oriented social media marketing sessions from top leading experts and brands. Highlight includes a hands-on workshop by social media coach who has trained 200+ start-ups in the Silicon Valley, US.

The Social Media Innovation Conference is targeted towards key decision makers and C-levels within companies from all industries, covering 20+ different tactical areas of social media which includes everything from video marketing, social media ROI, chatbots, user-generated content to data and analytics.

Growth hacking is all about growing your user base quickly. More often than not inexperienced entrepreneurs will sit down with their idea, create a decent website, and generate some local press, and say, “if we build it they will come.” It doesn’t happen that way. Eventually the social media consistency dies off, the free PR stops running, the website remains static, and your startup is left dead in the water.

Limited resources put startups in a position where they need to find solutions to these shortcomings, often unconventional ones. Desperation leads to innovation. Exactly for this reason, the term of “growth hacking” centered on creativity and the use of unconventional methods to achieve rapid and spectacular growth. It does not involve reinventing the wheel, but rather the use of already popular concepts and practices in a unique way that attracts attention and facilitates rapid dissemination. Products such as Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube are often given as examples of growth hacking.

The conference feature includes a deep dive workshop facilitated by Sweta Patel, a renown trainer who has coach more than 200 startups in the Silicon Valley, US. At the conference, Sweta facilitates the workshop topic “How B2B and B2C Use Instagram to Win New Customers.”

Sweta will share about the step-by-step method of exactly how she grew her Instagram account from 13 to 80,000 followers in one year. If done the right way, Instagram can be used to generate leads which will later convert into paying customers. The workshop highlights numerous actionable insights on Instagram hacks that can save you time and money.

Sweta highlights, “Social media has increased the discovery for my business and without it I would not be able to gain the reach I would need to ensure my brand is reputable. It helped discover new ways to reach a mass audience without doing so much. Last year I was able to generate over $400,000 through my social media channels. This is why it is important to use these channels wisely so you are able to gain the reach you need to reach your objectives.”

Sweta remarks, “The most common mistakes in social media revolve around this concept of “faking it til you make it.” Businesses are buying likes, comments, and followers without any real strategy to back it up. When a business does this, it makes them look even worse than they would without a strategy. The strategy should focus on helping a business grow real fans- It’s not about the followers. It’s about touching people and making them feel as if they are a part of your brand. What are you doing to make them feel involved? If you make your customers and your fans the heroes of your brand, then you will win.”

When asked about the biggest challenges for social media marketers, Sweta underlines, “Building and growing an organic audience. This remains a challenge because most of the experts do not know what they are doing when it comes to audience building and no one knows their audience better than the business owner themselves. When they are able to tap into their audience’s secret desires, then they will be able to capture the audience’s interest. At this point they understand their audience better than the audience understands themselves. One way of focusing on building an audience is to start small and then focus on scaling up. When you start small you are able to make a bigger impact and share your message through word of mouth.”

Sweta concludes, “You can’t fake it til’ you make it on social media. If you take shortcuts, you will fail faster.”

The conference brings together speakers from Google, LinkedIn, Mindvalley, Axiata, GoCar, and more. Keynote speaker Cally Lo, Regional Account Manager at LinkedIn highlights, “In an era where companies are pushing to increase their interconnectivity with customers, partners and general interests, social media has opened an avenue for more authentic access to individuals that they wish to target. The impact of this wave of streamlined information trading has allowed an increase in transactions, innovation, competition and expansion.”

When asked about the biggest challenges for social media marketers, Cally underlines, “Being one of the same. The market is booming with marketers running different strategies. It is easy to fall into repetitive maneuvers which will blend strategies into the broader web of content. It is important to stay original, and keeping a unique stance. It is challenging during these times, but imperative.”

Keynote speaker Pankaj Khushani, Head of Analytics & Platform Partnerships, SEA, Google presents the topic, “Data Driven: The Role of Social Media in Performance Marketing.” Pankaj highlights, “Since social media has such a large share of online activity, companies are seeing social media as an important component of their digital marketing and wider marketing strategies. And it’s not limited to just marketing. Customer service, recruitment, employer branding and other departments are taking a stake in social, too. This is helping to increase social media’s importance in the organization and spur hiring. Social media is a must-have nowadays, and not a nice-to-have.”

Keynote speaker Vadim Fink, Head of Marketing at Mindvalley presents the topic “How to use Video on Social Media to drive REAL Business Results.” Vadim highlights, “Social Media is no longer something any business can overlook. Every single day 1.4 billion people log into Facebook – and Youtube is about to surpass TV as the most watched format in the U.S. this year. At the same time consumers’ attention is moving towards video, away from written content.”

Keynote speaker Pedro Uria Recio, Vice President at Axiata Group presents the topic “Applying Artificial Social Intelligence to Customer Service and Sales.” Pedro highlights, “Customer service and sales has traditionally been a field that relies on the empathic abilities of a human being to resolve issues. Yet as the costs for human staffed call-centres have grown, automation has become imperative and led to the introduction of Artificial Social Intelligence. Today’s AI is becoming increasingly complex and functional.”

Keynote speaker Alan Cheah, Chief Executive Officer of GoCar presents the topic “Team Culture: How to Align Team Culture to Your Marketing Strategy.” Alan highlights, “Apart from strategies, marketing tools, and knowledge; team culture plays a huge part in leading the marketing direction for GoCar. The team’s values, passion, and vision for GoCar dictates how we choose to pursue certain partnerships, what kind of digital campaigns to run, which community events to organise, and how we communicate with our users. Once we have that aligned, it’s clear to see how we managed to grow the company from 5 GoCars in 5 locations in 2016 to 180 GoCars in 80 locations in 2017. It all begins with the team culture.”

Mei Sze is also a PHD holder in developmental psychology and is working to assist youth development through the media by hosting shows related to youth, and sending strong and encouraging messages through her columns.

Mei Sze highlights, “The increasing integration of influencers as part of a brand’s marketing strategy has become widespread. Many brands know that influencer marketing is a part of social media but is uncertain on the ways to utilize influencers. Influencers, unlike celebrities, can be anywhere. They can be anyone. What make them influential are their large followings on the web and social media. An influencer can be a popular fashion photographer on Instagram, or a well-read cybersecurity blogger who tweets, or a respected marketing executive on LinkedIn. Within any industry, there are influential people.” Mei Sze’s keynote will highlight key points on the what, how, and when it is the right time for influencer marketing.

Over the years, WMA has coached thousands of individuals from all walks of life and have guided them with powerful knowledge and proven skills and strategies towards the path of financial freedom.

Sheng Wen highlights, “Statistics has revealed the positive correlation between the response time and lead conversion in social media marketing. Yet companies face obstacles to decrease response time due to separate systems used to manage customer contacts, different teams handling sales calls, inefficient employees, and lack of efficient monitoring system. The challenge is even more commonly encountered in service industry and offline business. Another hurdle is getting accurate conversion feedback from sales person for social marketer to react in real time to adjust their marketing strategies.” Sheng Wen’s keynote shares tactical insights on how to implement a seamless social marketing process flow and real-time conversion monitoring.

The conference feature includes a deep dive workshop facilitated by Sweta Patel, a renown trainer who has coach more than 200 startups in the Silicon Valley, US. At the conference, Sweta facilitates the workshop topic “How B2B and B2C Use Instagram to Win New Customers.”

TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference 2018 to Take Social Media Beyond Simple Information Sharing.

The TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference is a tactical conference to be held on the 25-26th of April 2018 in Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and to take social media beyond simple information sharing.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – April 3, 2018 —

Participants shall discover how innovative global companies maintain their edge via social media marketing. The conference features practical, action-oriented social media marketing sessions from top leading experts and brands. Highlight includes a hands-on workshop by social media coach who has trained 200+ start-ups in the Silicon Valley, US.

The Social Media Innovation Conference is targeted toward key decision makers and C-levels within companies from all industries, and will cover 20+ different tactical areas of social media, including everything from video marketing, to social media ROI, to chatbots, to user-generated content, to data and analytics.

Social media is giving Southeast Asia brands new ways to engage in 2018. The TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference 2018 highlights key trends in the region that brands should be well aware of as they seek meaningful reach and interact with new and existing customers. While Facebook Live and vertical video ads are relatively new on the scene, the formats are already seeing tremendous user popularly and success. User engagement with brands on Instagram is currently 10 times higher than on Facebook and 54 times higher than on Twitter. Social storytelling is becoming more informal. It’s increasingly the norm for brands to be active on mediums like Snapchat, Instagram Stories, Facebook Live – places where social storytelling is informal and direct.

Teaming up with the region’s forward thinking and innovative organisation, TalentCap is pleased to Welcome on-board the SME Association of Malaysia (SMEAM) as a Strategic Partner at the Social Media Innovation Conference 2018.

The SME Association of Malaysia (SME Malaysia) was established in 1995 with the key objective of assisting the development of SMEs to make the sector one of the engines of economic growth. Since its inception, SME Malaysia has organized various international conferences, seminars, award programmes, and educational and capacity-building programmes to educate, elevate, and provide exposure to members of the Association and the SME community at large. The Association actively engages in advocacy and consultation with key Government ministries and agencies to provide feedback on issues affecting SMEs.

Dato’ Michael Kang, the President of SME Malaysia highlights, “It is well known fact that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often lag behind when it comes to technology adoption, either due to the lack of financial means or human resources. Due to lack of expertise, SMEs don’t know how to go about going digital and they can only depend on their staff or someone else to do it for them and even if they have a website, they don’t really utilize it.”

The Strategic Partnership between SME Malaysia and TalentCap Social Media Innovation Conference 2018 is another initiative of promoting a great platform for the SME community to leverage on the power of digital marketing for elevating businesses to a new horizon in the age of digital economy.

Keynote speaker Dheeraj Raina, Managing Director at AdParlor presents the topic “The Future of Social Media Marketing and What It Takes to Win!” AdParlor has accumulated partnerships with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, DBM & Pinterest since its inception. Very recently, AdParlor has been rebranded to ada as part of an attempt to plug its capabilities beyond just its digital marketing platform. The platform, which is owned by AdKnowledge in a joint venture with the Malaysian telco Axiata, will now house its data science, technology, creative divisions under the name ada. AdParlor will now serve as a product under the ada umbrella.

Dheeraj highlights, “Southeast Asian consumers are far ahead in the tech and digital adoption and are pushing advertisers to catch up. Our markets are fast turning into mobile and digital first markets and in need of a hyper personalized digital marketing approach. It is time to think People based marketing as mainstream marketing.”

Dheeraj’s keynote shares tactical insights on what should you care for as a social media advertiser in this world full or disruptions? Why programmatic marketing growing so fast & what is are the opportunities for marketers? How to task every digital media spend on brand and business outcomes? Why the need to evaluate your social media ROI – How to ask the RIGHT questions and measure to get buy-in?

Keynote speaker Andy Clark, VP & Managing Director at Tealium presents the topic “Why a Customer Centric Focus Means Ownership of Your Data Supply Chain.” Tealium powers the new era of real-time customer engagement and marketing, enabling global businesses to unlock their customer data and create more meaningful, relevant customer experiences. Tealium is backed by top venture investors; Bain Capital Ventures, Battery Ventures, Georgian Partners, Presidio Ventures, Tenaya Capital.

Andy highlights, “Organizations leverage multiple martech solutions, channels and marketing initiatives in the hopes of being able to reach their audience in a variety of ways. Massive amounts of behavioral profile data is collected at each of these touchpoints, which is extremely valuable in driving better decision making around audience and individual targeting. The challenge is that most brands aren’t able to effectively connect all of the data they are receiving, and thus, aren’t able to create a single view of their customer. Brands who have successfully instituted a customer-at-the-center mandate within their business, by connecting their disparate data sources, are seeing powerful results in their now customer-centric campaigns and strategies.” Andy’s keynote shares tactical insights on how and why having a robust data strategy differentiates you from other brands.

Panel speaker Eve Fong, E-Commerce Manager at Nestlé Nespresso highlights “Many businesses still see their social media platforms as a one way messaging channel, treating them very much like print or worse, a bulletin board. The common line of thought here is that social media is ‘digital’ therefore they can post a message they want out very quickly. This is, of course as we know, pointless, given that organic reach is continuously dropping not to mention, it goes against the nature of what social media and the social community is all about. This also means that when the marketing department evaluates a social media proposal or approves content, they are not evaluating based on the right objectives and goals.”

Eve additionally comments “Also another common mistake is to treat social media as merely a channel similarly to offline channels rather than understanding that it is crucial to have a social media strategy along with a comprehensive plan which should include the social media marketing plan, communication plan, content calendar and last but not least, a social media crisis management plan. Many a successful brand has found themselves in the middle of a social media crisis simply because one ill-advised employee managing their social platforms has given the wrong reply at a crucial time.”

Keynote speaker Casie Lane Millhouse-Singh at Two Lane presents the topic “The Death of the Email: Messaging Aps and Chatbots.” Casie is the Director at Two Lane, an agency specialising in Facebook & Instagram Ads to drive ROI for growing companies and brands using the best-in-class targeting abilities in the digital ad market.

Casie highlights, “The era of email marketing is over. In some markets they are dying a slow death. In others, they are already dead. And it doesn’t matter how much money you spend creating these campaigns, how well they are designed or what type of headline you try now. A dead duck…. is a dead duck. So that’s the bad news. The good news? Well, just like CDs have been replaced. Email has been replaced by messaging apps and platforms. Lots of different businesses are using chatbots on messaging platforms and one can be right for you.”

Casie’s keynote shares tactical insights on Chatbots = what are the success stories, challenges and opportunities? How storytelling within messaging apps holds its own in today’s frantic media landscape. How to deliver pragmatic and effective mobile-first solutions on a tight budget. Chat Bot Etiquette even humans should all live by.

The conference feature includes a deep dive workshop facilitated by Sweta Patel, a renown trainer who has coach more than 200 startups in the Silicon Valley, US. At the conference, Sweta facilitates the workshop topic “How B2B and B2C Use Instagram to Win New Customers”

Sweta highlights “Instagram is growing up and taking over the channels with a storm. The word says Instagram is only for millennials but it is far from it. Most businesses are using Instagram to generate leads and convert them into paying customers (if done the right way).”

Sweta will share the step-by-step method of exactly how she grew her Instagram account from 13 to 80,000 followers in one year. She didn’t buy followers, didn’t pay for likes, and wasn’t lucky enough to be sponsored by Instagram. She’s completely transparent about everything she did so you can takeaway an actionable strategy. Sweta shares actionable insights on you can explore the Instagram hacks that can save you time and money.
