Evolve into a Winning Marketing Organisation

The last two years have brought about a paradigm shift in consumer behaviour. From what they consume, to how they consume it, from the brand they affiliate with to the cause they support, the modern consumer is more conscious and evolved. This shift in fundamental behaviour has completely flipped the role of marketing. The position of marketing in the success of organisations has never been more profound and complex. 

Brands that were able to rethink the role of marketing from a siloed function to a critical pillar accountable for the growth of the company stayed ahead of the curve. The ones that failed to do so were left behind. 

Organisations that not only navigated the tough times but also emerged as winners are clearly following a different set of fundamentals. It’s now more important than ever to identify these winning values and construct a robust framework. 

Segment 1 -  Engagement. Experience. Exchange: The 3E Formula for Attracting, Acquiring and Retaining Customer

In this segment, we present a structural framework of changing the environment of creating customer value. Attendees will be equipped with strategies to move away from retooling and reshaping existing structures to rethink the environment completely. 

Describing the 3 Es in detail:

  • Exchange: Matching offerings to individual customer needs and context in ways that facilitate transactions
  • Experience: Increasing convenience and enjoyment across the customer journey
  • Engagement: Deepening and expanding the meaning, community, and purpose around an offering

Segment 2 -  Creating Internal Value to Drive Growth

Organisational framework - creating company value

  • Strategic value: marketing to be a driver of new creating new capabilities and revenue streams 
  • Operating value: align disparate teams around a shared growth agenda that focuses on customers’ needs 
  • Knowledge value: Build and leverage information loops to increase causal understanding and expand resource optimization

Segment 3 - WMO Toolkits

Key Highlights:

  • Virtual application of AR, VR & MR
  • Evolution of Web (Web 3.0, NFT, etc.)
  • The implication of Web 3.0

Keynote: How the role of marketing is changing and what it takes to win?

In an era of unprecedented change, swirling headwinds and ever-increasing business pressure, Lou Paskalis, MMA President and COO, will share his thoughts on what it takes to lead a winning marketing organization. At a time when marketing has never been more important to the success of the business and indeed the global economy, marketing is being asked to take on additional responsibilities in areas ranging from customer experience, attribution, data and analytics to brand safety and suitability. Simultaneously, we’ve seen evidence of other organizations seemingly de-emphasizing the marketing role or conflating it with other roles in the C-Suite.

Lou will talk about how to make sense of these seemingly conflicting trends, the implication for the future of marketing and how marketers will need to “lean in” to reassert their role in delivering on the CEO’s growth agenda. Topics will include:

  • Organizational alignment
  • Leadership
  • Boundary-spanning
  • Growth frameworks
  • Building a winning narrative
  • Customer experience design and delivery
