Unlock Bigger and Better Opportunities Through Mobile
Allstate serves a vast customer base, but like most insurers customer interaction can be infrequent. Over the past few years, Allstate has leveraged mobile to create a range of exciting new engagement touch points with its customers. Allstate CMO Sanjay Gupta will share his perspective on how companies can unlock bigger and better opportunities with the right mobile strategy. Getting the basics right with a responsive website and a mobile app are table stakes every company must deliver on. With millions of eyeballs on mobile, the bigger question is how can you effectively stand out to capture more customer attention and traffic? Gupta will share how mobile is enabling an entirely different level of marketing – the kind we’ve only dreamt about in the past – and how brands can maximize this opportunity.

Marketing in the Age of the Shareable Moment
Afternoon Session
NAKED AND EXPOSED
With every technological advance, we become more dependent on our phones. We check them when we're working, when we're bored, when we're anxious, when we're in crowds and even when we're alone. Smart phones play a disproportionately irrational need in our daily lives and contain all of our most personal wants and needs. We've become so attached to them as tools, that we're all a bit naked without them. Which is why to innovate in mobile, marketers have underestimated a very effective and simple tool—empathy.
72andSunny's, Partner and Executive Creative Director, Matt Murphy explains why the focus of mobile marketing isn't about your brand, your product, or your cause but about the user, their behavior, and how empathy is your company's biggest tool in cracking innovative mobile marketing.
