Panel: 360-Degree Personalization Is a Strategy, Not a Tactic

As personalized service and communications become core to a brand's identity, email endures as the lynchpin. But how is this vision of customer-centric one to one marketing being executed from the in-box outward to all touch-points with a customer? We ask some of the deeper thinkers in the email and CRM world to dig into personalization as a business and brand strategy. What role do email and other messaging channels play? What are the choke points in data integration, execution, internal organization?

Keynote: There’s Something About Mary – A Not So Virtual Chat About Virtual Chat

Marketing communication in email can be more than just a static image that links to a website.  It can connect to any number of digitally enabled experiences.  Dive into the world of a Virtual Assistant built to be enabled across all digital channels.  Learn what it took to get AmFamMary (as the Virtual Assistant is named) off the ground and how the same test and learn methods used in email for years are helping to drive this new customer touch point.

Case Study: How Do You Get Parents Obsessed? Give 'em Chobani Gimmies (Swag)!!!
This year, Chobani launched their new kids yogurt platform, Chobani Gimmies, and wanted to support the launch with a creative-led campaign across their owned and operated channels. However, Chobani had a limited scale with the target audience for the Chobani Gimmies platform. So, they created a campaign to engage their loyal community to spread the word on their behalf. In this case study, you’ll learn how Chobani was able to consistently maintain open rates 201% above benchmark and increase their list size by 3.5% in just 14 days.

Like taking your car for an oil change, or visiting the dentist regularly, the world of email is full of tasks and requirements that we don’t want to deal with but must to keep the wheels from falling off.
