CONTENT MARKETING - BE RELEVANT. BE USEFUL. BE REAL. HOW TO CUT THROUGH THE NOISE DURING A CRISIS

The importance of creating content that is useful for your audience is not a new concept.

However, during times of crisis, what is important to your audience will change.

When people are facing unprecedented change or enormous challenges (or both!) they need substantive content that helps them navigate their journey.

How can you be the brand, the business or the light that helps guide their way?

In this session, we will discuss:

  • The importance of authenticity and using the right language
  • Why the fluffy stuff won’t cut it
  • Making sure the content you create isn’t tone deaf
  • How adding value to your audience will help your brand in the long run
  • What relevant, useful, pandemic-related content looks like

ABM - PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATIONS OF STRATEGIC ACCOUNT BASED MARKETING & ABM AT SCALE

DIVING INTO THE PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF ABM AND THE ‘WHAT’S WORKING’

This session will focus on the practicalities and realities of implementing an effective ABM program and ROI performance measurement– less on the theory/thinking, more on the doing!

During this session we’ll cover strategic Account-Based Marketing where the focus is on creating and executing highly-customised marketing plans for target accounts and/or less-customised programs for clusters of accounts with similar issues and needs.

Can we implement ABM with some scale? We will discuss the one2one, one2few and one2many scenarios, and systematic ABM where B2B marketers leverage technology to tailor marketing campaigns for specific named accounts at scale. ABM scale is made possible due to the latest technologies that enable razorfine targeting, analytics, and engagement across large target segments of identified accounts. We will discuss the key steps in activation including target lists, hyper-personalisation, internal orchestration and the ‘account view’.

NETWORKING DRINKS - PREPARING FOR MARKETING AFTER THE PANDEMIC

Join us for a drink as we’ll discuss life after the Pandemic.
During this session we’ll also try to cover any un-answered questions that have come through during the day such as:

  • There’s lots of talk of the conditions ‘now’, but how do you and your teams prepare for the market rebound?
  • What about organisations who’s primary customer base have stopped conducting business as a result of COVID-19 and who are currently operating on skeleton staff having stood down large numbers – what should marketing teams focus on to ensure they are setup for success when things lift?
  • How will you handle the customer rush when all this is over
  • The economic impact on businesses will be huge. Going forward, how are organisations gearing up with retaining / retrenching employees? How are you reassuring employees that jobs are going to be secure?
