Keynote: Outside-In Marketing: Using the Correct Data for Content
Marketers have long sought to understand their audiences so they could target messages. Never before have they had such a rich source of audience data as they do today. The benefit resides in keyword research. For any audience segment and any stage in the buyer journey, they use keywords to find the content they need to make intelligent purchasing decisions. Join James Mathewson, distinguished marketer for search at IBM, to discover how marketers will use data in search campaigns, and how IBM uses data to guide its content marketing discipline from one end to the other. From market research to product marketing to messaging to digital publishing to digital analytics, keyword data is the natural resource IBM uses to drive the business results executives expect.

Panel: In Search of Cross-Channel Advertising
Search marketing is in the midst of a sea-shift from data and campaigns in silos to a more cross-channel approach. Keywords and match types are giving way to audiences, devices and attribution. When marketers think about cross-channel approaches they must also consider life-time value and retention of consumers. This panel explores the transition and the impact this shift is having on marketing strategies, the tools marketers use, the change in priorities of marketing departments and the challenges and opportunities that the transition presents.

Did the Accelerated Mobile Pages project change the mobile landscape for search marketers?
