Marketing Expert-in-Residence & ContributorThere is a fundamental – and critical – disconnect between the way businesses try to engage their audience and the way their audience wants to be engaged.

During this session, we'll address the critical questions that must be answered in order for your audience to trust and engage with you. Leveraging best practices from design thinking, and insights gained from numerous interviews with top-performing brands, you'll walk away with a launch plan that will revolutionize your online marketing activities. These tactics require little to no budget, but are extremely impactful. You'll also discover best practices for audience research, which can be leveraged for marketing and innovation.

Head of Marketing, Asia Pacific and JapanContent marketing is the best way to attract eyeballs of the global digital population of just over 4 billion. But while 91% of the B2B marketers use content marketing to reach their audience, a majority of them do not know how to produce engaging content, and they admit it. This results in content cacophony – a deafening noise of random words thrown together that neither create a connection nor evoke emotion. So, what is the actual science behind effectively cutting through this noise and creating truly engaging content?

Ed Greig
Deloitte Digital
Chief DisruptorThe pace of change and the wave of new technologies it brings can leave marketing departments scrabbling to use very new shiny tool that appears. This can lead to a feeling of constantly playing catchup and a messy, disconnected, patchwork approach, both with technology and more broadly. The key to avoiding this is to "Fall in Love with the Problem, not the Solution" We do this by thinking big and creating a coherent end to end user experience, the Tangible Hypothesis, then starting small and testing often. The Tangible Hypothesis helps the Marketing Department engage with the rest of your organisation, breaking down silos and helping to bring about cultural change.

Analysing your site's traffic and performance often requires agreed KPIs across a wide range of teams and people – by taking a holistic approach we can better understand what the KPIs should be depending on your type of website, content, or product, and whether these metrics need to be adjusted to reflect different search intentions.

CMO & Managing DirectorThe web is an ocean of human generated unstructured data permanently shifting with tides of change. It's a major challenge for Google to gather, process and index unstructured data from the gazillions of websites vying for visibility on the World Wide Web. They are masters of the universe when it comes to using information retrieval science to make sense of the data and rank it. And search engine optimization techniques go a long way to help the process. But the addition of structured data (or schema) provides explicit clues to the meaning of information on a web page and a way for Google to standardize and classify content.
