Key Conference Topics
Day 1, Thursday, August 09, 2018
1. Customer Experience (CX) and Data Analytics: How marketers utilize data to deepen understanding of customer experience?
Data is now the world’s most valuable resource. Digital transformation is happening as data-driven economy is pushing its processes to fully understand its customers. How do businesses use data as a strategic differentiator in creating positive customers experience?
2. From Multi-channel to Omni-channel Approach in Analytics
Omni-channel measurement, a holistic view of the overall customer experience (CX), allows you to improve that experience within specific channels and touch points. It is the holy grail of CX measurement. The difference between multi-channel and omni-channel really comes down to a company’s approach to digital strategy. Companies that focus on maximizing the performance of each channel – physical, web, mobile – have a multi-channel strategy.
In an omni-channel approach, it puts the customer at the center of its strategy. It acknowledges that mobile and social have enabled customers to not only quickly switch between channels, but actually use channels simultaneously.
3. How to create Customer Experience (CX) program?
Context marketing gives you the power to understand your customers and offer them a truly personalized experience. It can help to deliver the right content or services to the right people at exactly the right time.
Marketers, who are aware of their customers’ current and past interactions, know exactly where customers are on the decision journey. They assess and figure out what might improve the customer journey and guide customers toward purchase. These marketers effectively manage the customer experience. Learn new approaches in creating successful customer experience program from the early stages of transformation to more mature stages of customer delight.
4. Mobile-First and Mobile-Only Continue to Disrupt Customer Experience
Google’s announced mobile-first algorithm is expected to launch in early 2018. With this change, Google will primarily index mobile content and use it to decide how to rank its results, regardless of whether you’re on desktop or mobile. There will be no more of mobile-friendly adjustment done just for mobile users.
69 percent of digital media time is spent on mobile according to comScore’s 2017 US Cross-Platform Future in Focus report.
5. Understanding How Micro-Moments Influence Consumers
The recent Google report has revealed that 96% of smartphone users turn to their mobile devices to get the things done when it comes to the search of products and services they need, and each person on average checking their phone 100+ times a day – micro moments are crucial.
Decisions are made in micro-moments; when you check emails, social media or push notifications. Monitoring these touch points and its impact lead up to macro-conversion.
6. Leveraging Chatbots for Better Customer Experience
What started as a technological curiosity is now one of the biggest user interaction interfaces. Ever wondered who you might be chatting to regarding a flaw in a program or website? Most likely, the person you might be chatting with is a bot.
Initially, chat bots were used as a means for customer interaction as they decrease the response time and interact better with customers. We can use the ability of chat bots to interact directly with a customer to collect contact information and significant data. This will help marketing campaigns perform better.
Day 2, Friday, August 10, 2018
1. Using Video Content to Increase Customer Engagement
HubSpot stats say that 43% of customers want to see much more video content from marketers. Consequently, 48% of marketers plan to add YouTube to their content strategy in 2018.
With millennials having a wide scope of video-enabled gadgets and devices, video marketing tools will demonstrate high efficiency in promoting businesses, products or services across various channels. Marketers should then measure the productivity of different channels so that the right audience can be targeted in the right place and at the right time.

Social media marketing is a low cost and high ROI platform, and in 2018, marketers are expected to spend more time right here. According to a study from TEKsystems 2017, social media budgets will expand even further.
To keep up with this trend, marketers promote stories on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn News Feed; and concentrate more on creating videos and quality content that engages users.
What are some of the recent updates in FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn that marketers should pay attention to?
3. How to use email to build customer relationship
Email marketing is a critical component of every customer relationship program. Email can be used to guide a prospect from having minimal knowledge about your product or service, to becoming a customer. If used correctly, a well-run email program can build relationships starting at the prospect stage and extending from conversion to retention and even through customer advocacy.
