CMO/CEO ALIGNMENT

How to position the value of marketing to the CEO/CFO and Leadership team

For CMOs to be a recognised driver of revenue and growth, they need to earn the trust of their CEO to deliver on business objectives. Marketing leadership expert Thomas Barta sums it up as “Marketers must stand for growth, or they stand for nothing”.

During this fire-side chat between CEO and CMO we’ll be discussing how to position the value of the CMO to the CEO:

  • How to establish credibility with the CEO and retain a respected seat at the leadership table
  • The need for CMOs to understand the CEO’s direct obligation to drive a growth agenda
  • Agreeing on metrics and reporting that matter to the CEO – what does commercial acumen as a CMO look like?
  • Advice for presenting to the leadership team; understanding the need to focus on their pain points vs your own day-to-day agenda, the importance of being prepared to defend your data and ensure the data presented are linked to business objectives

THE CMO'S GUIDE TO B2B MARKETING ATTRIBUTION AND REPORTING

People, processes and technology are key ingredients for marketers in order to clearly attribute marketing campaigns and spend to company’s bottom line.
Yet, the recently published “State of B2B Marketing in Asia” report by B2B Marketing Leaders Forum and Adobe shows that over 50% of marketers in Asia don’t have a ROI or pipeline contribution target.
What earns marketing a seat at the leadership table is knowing your return on investment (ROI), revenue contribution and knowing the insights to defend your data.
Join us for a discussion moderated by our very own Janie Lim, Senior Marketing Director, Digital Media APAC Adobe.

During this session you’ll hear from CMOs how it’s actually done in practice.

BRAND – DEMAND CONNECTION - Aligning brand awareness and demand generation in APAC

The effectiveness of treating brand-building and demand gen with the same objectives and KPIs, under the same budget and team, as one integrated approach through the whole of the marketing funnel, not only uses resources more efficiently but also improves customer engagement, loyalty and, ultimately, pipeline. If your brand awareness and demand generation campaigns aren’t in lockstep, you’re missing out on the opportunity to reap the impact and efficiency of a single story carried through every customer conversation, engagement and experience.

During this keynote, Bhupesh will share examples of SAS’ “brand-demand-engagement strategy,” and how their “curiosity forever campaign” is building awareness to create demand.
Key session highlights include:

  • How the SAS “Curiosity Forever” campaign is designed for both Brand-to-Human (B2H) outreach impacting awareness and Brand-to-Demand (B2D) to drive consideration
  • A pragmatic way to look at budgets, structure, KPIs and measurement – balancing the long-term play of brand with short-term targets of demand gen.
  • Synchronised global brand and demand generation campaigns and countrification for APAC
  • The importance of rallying your sellers — including your own sales force and your channel partners
  • Driving consistent customer engagement across the entire lifecycle of a customer, especially in an Anything-as-a-service world

THE FUTURE OF FIELD MARKETING - Hybrid, in-person and virtual: reengineering your event mix

Findings from the 2021 future of events strategy survey
This past year, B2B event marketers have shown incredible resilience and agility with their virtual event strategy. Whether in-person gatherings are coming back soon or not, one thing is certain: virtual events have marketing leaders re-examining their connected event practices to accelerate a new generation of experiences.

With Asia starting to open up, how will this affect future events? What are marketing and demand generation leaders choosing to focus on as we continue into 2021? Get a first-hand look at the results from our most recent survey on future event strategy, and join Cheri Keith, Global Head of Strategy and Research at ON24 to learn about:

  • The outlook of marketing leaders on their event portfolio
  • The most important metrics to demonstrate event value and optimise engagement
  • Best practices, tactics and approaches to build impactful event strategy
  • How to apply these findings into your future event programme

Plus, you’ll get a chance to ask questions, participate in live polls, and get the information you need to turn your events into can’t-miss experiences!

It’s time to stop annoying your audiences and start engaging them.

DEMAND GENERATION - Platform + People: Making Demand Gen Work Around the World

How do you really get an effective demand gen strategy off the ground?

As a fundamental component of any comprehensive marketing engine, demand generation is what closes the loop between marketing and sales teams to fuel company growth. Yet while the concept is simple—drive and measure intent across channels to deliver engaged leads to sales—properly executing a demand generation strategy is anything but. In today’s landscape, it requires that a myriad of tools, channels, content, and teams work swiftly and seamlessly together to capture millions of online actions and package them neatly into something legible and actionable.

Selling Simplified Group, a Colorado startup turned global demand gen leader, built an international marketing enterprise backed by 1st-party data, proprietary technology, and a human-centric approach.

In this keynote session, Selling Simplified’s VP of Marketing, Rachael Ferranti, takes a detailed dive into the nuts and bolts of demand gen – from using SSG’s proprietary technology to power the company’s own international marketing efforts, to how SSG pairs these tools with a hyper-regionalized marketing approach to serve their clients worldwide.

WHY AN INTEGRATED ORGANIC AND PAID MEDIA STRATEGY PRODUCES A HEALTHIER FULL FUNNEL JOURNEY

An integrated media strategy is simply better for business. The harmony between organic and paid may not be immediately apparent because they have such distinctive flavours. They are, however, complementary in nature.

With paid media campaigns, you control what messages are served to which audiences, and when. Organic media is a powerful way to deepen your brand’s relationship with your audience and continually engage them in an authentic way.

In this panel discussion, we will discuss

  • The value of organic marketing and its contribution to paid.
  • Hear from brands who have found organic success
  • Understand why organic and paid is better for marketing outcomes
  • Methodologies, measurement models and data they use to prove the effectiveness of their content efforts and ROI
  • Data, insights and key metrics they use to analyse best performing content and channels
  • How they are mapping content to the entire buyer journey, across multiple touchpoints
  • How and what content and channels they use to progress conversations during long sales cycles, with large buying committees

ABM - ACCOUNT BASED MARKETING

HOW TO SCALE ABM WITHOUT LOSING EFFECTIVENESS: LESSONS LEARNED IN APAC

Account based marketing is in high demand because of the impact it can have on revenue, relationships and reputation. If you’ve launched a successful program, you might find other parts of your business are keen to adopt your approach. Or perhaps you’re the one pushing to maximise the benefits by expanding to different regions or industry sectors. But how do you know when you’re ready to scale, and what approach to take?

In this session we’ll hear from marketing leaders at Verizon and Adobe who have successfully scaled their programs in APAC, and who will answer questions including:

  • When’s the right time to scale my ABM program?
  • What are the differences between scaling 1:1 and 1:few or 1:many ABM?
  • What governance or processes should I have in place?
  • Which teams do I need to get on board to help me scale?

Attendees will return to their desks armed with practical advice to help grow their ABM programs, without losing effectiveness in the process.

ARE HUMANS NEEDED TO DELIVER A SUPERB HUMAN EXPERIENCE? - THE GREAT DEBATE

The new era of marketing is more personalised, contextualised, and dynamic than ever before, enabled with a fresh arsenal of experience-focused tools. So then; Join us to unpack what today’s world suggests for tomorrow’s industry.

Whether we like it or not, we are all technologists

  • Every business that’s growth-focused and innovation-led has technology in its foundation
  • Every person that values learning, connection, and information is switched on and engaging daily through their devices and apps

In fact many of the values the business world upholds (collaboration, accountability, ambition and compassion) are already best actioned through, you guessed it, tech initiatives. So what does this mean for the future of the customer experience?

With AI, algorithms, the proliferation of consumer devices and the demand for immediacy on the rise, the customer experience will continue to become digitised. But is there an end point? Or will human-to-human interaction be dead in ten years?

Join four prominent industry experts as they debate the future of customer experience in sales and marketing — including the skills, opportunities and jobs of tomorrow as tech continues to not only disrupt industries and trades, but completely redefine them.

We will debate and discover:

  • What today’s landscape is signaling for tomorrow’s world
  • The value of human-to-human interaction — is it something businesses will safeguard or move past? And how do sales and marketing hold their ground when everyone else is moving on
  • What businesses need to be thinking about now if they want to operate and connect with each other in the future. After all, to thrive tomorrow we need to be preparing today
