From Surviving to Thriving: What we learned during the pandemic and how truly being driven by our purpose helped build our brand.

The pandemic forced many brands to relook at their brand plans for the year ahead. For Vodafone this was no different, in fact like most, the entire 12-month calendar was no longer relevant and some might argue even appropriate. This step back to re-evaluate the purpose of the brand not only in the lives of customers, but specifically in the moment of the pandemic, gave Vodafone the laser focus it needed to turn its business into the brand driver, and business driver it needed.

How 'mature' are you when it comes to management and use of your data?

The MMA partnered with EY to survey over 100+ senior marketing leaders across major industries to assess the maturity of consumer data in organizations. Our study covered more than 20 variables of data maturity that represent some of the most important decision areas for marketers when it comes to formulating their data strategies. This session will demonstrate a simple tool you can use to benchmark your own data maturity.

The Changing Digital Ads Ecosystem

Privacy is a cornerstone of a free and open internet. It is no longer a ‘nice to have’ – for customers, it’s essential. 68% of Europeans feel skeptical about the way companies use their data in marketing, and something clearly needs to change. This keynote will outline where digital advertising stands today from Google Ads' perspective, as well as our approach to privacy-safe advertising in a post third-party cookies world. We will share key insights from two new landmark reports about ads and privacy, and what brands should be focusing on to future-proof their business.

‘Retention”

Here's the context - COVID was a simply different life changing opportunity different in size but not in type – it happened to everyone at once. Pivoting at times of change to target new consumers to repeat purchase; activity proven to be successful in retaining consumers. Challenge to principle of how brands grow – is the leaky bucket, just the consequence of lack or very broad or no real targeting in the last 50 years? New channels, consumer behaviour, new technology – leads to new approaches and potentially a rethink of growth.

 

Three key takeaways from the session will be:

  1. How COVID impacted our growth model & the leaky bucket.
  2. How we have applied a new media approach to retain new consumers.
  3. How this challenges the principle of how brands grow.
