Keynote Fireside Chat: Building Marketing Automation Workflows at Scale
There’s no denying the power marketing automation has brought to the email industry. Processes are streamlined, customers are more engaged, and we’re just more efficient as marketers. But between IT complexities and organization hurdles, getting these workflows off the ground and then managing their upkeep can be dauting task, especially in large, global operations. We're sitting down with Kim Pham, VP of Marketing Automation at Paramount+, to hear her best practices for scaling marketing automation and personalization across your email, SMS and app campaigns.

Panel: Audience Segmentation Strategies: Customer Groups or True 1-1 Targeting?
Sometimes, it seems like we’ve gone ditch to ditch from peanut butter spread to hyper-granular in our targeting. Can’t there be a middle ground? Personalization is critical in email marketing, but getting down to the individual customer isn’t always possible and it isn’t always efficient. Our panel of email marketing experts will dive into how to personalize your email marketing at scale, touching on audience identification, data analysis, customer grouping and content mapping – and how we prioritize who we actually target.

Panel: The Intersection of Email Marketing and Loyalty Programs
Your internal stakeholders probably consider the “email” and “loyalty” interchange, but we know better. While the lines are starting to blur between the two, not every loyalty activation needs an email, and every email shouldn’t be about rewards. How does email marketing best complement a loyalty program? How does email drive retention and visit frequency outside of your loyalty program?

Presentation: Did You Hear The One About? Injecting Humor and Personality in Your Email Marketing
As consumer masses delete most of the 120 email they get each day, marketers have a fraction of a second to make the critical connection.

Join Fidelity Investments’ Senior Marketing Manager Elliot Curry to see how he’s giving his content some personality to create that two-way connection with his customers.
