Keynote: Building the Always-There Brand
As consumer journeys become more fragmented, brands not only need to be omnipresent but more coherent and comprehensive in their messaging strategy. Gina will share DoorDash’s extensive research on the changing mindsets and habits of its customers and how a more full funnel approach is addressing those changes. What lessons has the largest meal delivery service learned about making every touchpoint build brand as well as drive transactions? As Gina explains, it requires making email a fully integrated facet of a coherent and comprehensive brand messaging strategy.

Case Study: Modeling After Apple: Lessons from The Campaign Trail

Panel: Beyond the Open Rate - And We Mean It, This Time
"Oh, we never paid attention much to open rates anyway," says the email marketer pooh-poohing the impact of Apple MPP and emerging privacy protection. So how exactly are these brands redefining success in their email campaigns? We ask our panel to get specific. How have their metrics changed? What alternative metrics are truly working best now? How are campaigns being optimized, integrated differently with other marketing metrics and supplemented with other media?

Case Study: Personalization: The Good and Bad and Ways to Avoid the Bad
Personalization can be an email marketers’ best friend or worst nightmare. Using data provided directly from a customer can create challenges you may not anticipate.
