Culture, Community, and Conversion: How Connection Drives Business Growth

The Marketing Mission: Balancing Social Responsibility and the Growth Imperative
June 28, 2022 | Virtual Event
Today’s consumers expect brands to stand up for important social issues and stand out from the crowd by putting those values front and center in their interactions across channels and as part of the business. And that expectation is only growing in the next generation of customers.
But the pressure to focus on the purchase decision and lower funnel ad spend can make it difficult to find space in your strategy to engage in meaningful ways that resonate with customers. Marketers also run the risk of accusations of opportunism and inauthenticity if the only place those values show up is on social posts or in commercials. We’re bringing together marketing leaders from across industries who are making connections with consumers and building social responsibility into their core brand value proposition—while fueling significant growth.
Break Out of the Performance Prison: Shifting From KPIs to Business Growth
February 23, 2022 | Virtual Event
Performance marketing is getting a bad name. Too many businesses have embraced a performance approach that limits marketing scope to direct response campaigns, ROAS targets, and ROI. That’s a fundamental mistake: all marketing should perform, and your entire marketing team needs to be focused on long-term, sustainable business growth, not just short-term performance by channel. We’ve invited leaders changing the game in marketing to help us redefine performance marketing to empower businesses and help them succeed by deploying a holistic, full-funnel strategy that drives profitable growth.
