The Search For Perfect Performance

For 18 years, MediaPost has kept data-driven marketers ahead of the next industry curve. What once was a deep dive into search marketing, we’ve evolved this iconic Insider Summit to double-down on the true channels that make up your performance marketing strategy: search, social, ecommerce, loyalty and more.

As the battle between brand and performance rages on, marketers across every industry are on the hunt to maximize ROAS, improve efficiency, and get that conversion. But with more marketing channels under our purview, more privacy and regulations to comply with, and more choices for the consumer, it’s not as easy as it sounds. Plus, there’s still the underlying possibility that Google may once-again change its stance on the third-party cookie. Join us at this winter’s Performance Marketing Insider Summit as we explore:

Integrating performance with brand marketing
Where retail media fits in the mix
The future of loyalty marketing
Conversion-driving social media tactics
Unlocking access to your customer data
AI, automation, and audience segmentation
Multi-platform search strategy

Conference Content Programmers:

Keynote: Did You See That? | Inside Ring’s User Generated Content Strategy

No one does user-generated content better than Ring. From unique package deliveries to bizarre animal crossings, customers are quick to share what their video doorbell captures. Not only are these snippets entertaining, but they’ve turned into powerful testimonials on how people are using their products. We’re sitting down with Ring’s CCO Mimi Swain to hear how they’re using this UGC in their marketing strategy to bolster a sphere of social influence.

It seems like every day there’s a new way for customers to interact with your brand. Paid media, owned marketing, social commerce, websites, apps…it’s enough to make your head spin. How do we manage reach and frequency? What ways can we increase conversion rate to maximize our ROAS? How are we attributing sales and measuring success? How do we extend the life of our content to live in multiple channels and formats? From paid media to ecommerce, join us as we dive into tried-and-true optimization strategies to maximize conversions.

Presentation: Cashback & Coolidge | How Discover Used a Celebrity Endorsement to Drive Performance

Celebrity endorsements are everywhere these days, but rarely are they tied to performance metrics. So when Discover partnered with Jennifer Coolidge last year to launch their Cashback Debit checking account, the team needed a plan that not only drove awareness – we all remember the Robot Superbowl commercial – but could extend into lower-funnel channels. Brittany Gelsomino, Director of Acquisition Marketing & Rewards, shares how this cross-channel campaign came to life to drive the highest annualized growth rate for a Discover checking product.

Panel: Bridging The Gap Between Performance & Brand

Sales over night, brand over time. It’s the age-old debate between brand marketing and performance media. So, where’s the middle ground? How can we leverage the creator economy to drive more than impressions and reach? How can upper-funnel content be repurposed to drive traffic and ROAS? And where does retail media fit into our overall media mix? Can retail media drive brand awareness or is it purely a conversion-driven tactic? How do we marry retail media with our performance marketing channels? Our experts will dive into all of this and more.

Keynote Fireside Chat: Striking the Balance Between Brand and Performance

We hear it all the time: Brand marketing shouldn’t drive ROAS and performance should always be tied to a sale. But isn’t it time we start blurring the lines between these two channels? Constantly pounding prospective customers with “buy buy buy” will erode the quality of your brand, and there’s plenty of ways to extend high-impact brand awareness down the funnel. We’re sitting down with Hilton’s VP of Americas Marketing Gino Abbate to hear how he’s built a performance marketing practice for his 6,000+ locations.

Panel: How to Get Closer to Your Customer Data

It’s a great time to be a marketer. We have more customer data than we ever had before, and new tools pop up every day that make it easier for us to gather insights, personalize, and measure results. So why do we still feel out of touch with our customer data? Having it isn’t enough; it’s worthless if we can’t access it. Between inadequate resources, lack of funding, unsophisticated marketing technology, and a never-ending data science backlog, we’ll dive into what’s preventing us from using our customer data and how to break down those barriers.
