The Three A's of Modern Search & Performance: Automations, AI, and Algorithms

With the rise of consumers demanding a more niche and personalized experience, marketers need to find different and unique ways to engage them.

This can be an overwhelming endeavor, but AI and automation can be a great and nimble way for brands to provide those offerings. AI has forever changed the marketing game and is here to stay. How can marketers learn which prompts are best for the results they are looking for? What is the right balance between humans and tech?

Consumers' buying and search behaviors are also constantly changing. They’re using social media channels for both now more than ever. How can brands keep up with the algorithms and on which social platforms to be on?

Complicating things, is the expansion of third-party retailers. Not only is there more competition, but how do you know which platforms are right for your brand? How do invest your dollars and validate that spend in today’s environment that demands growth? Channels that didn't have measurement available in the past now do, so every channel is now a performance channel. Providing more options, but also some uncertainty. How are brands optimizing?

We will explore:

- Tactical and holistic strategizing across all media channels
- Content that drives consumers both down and up the funnel
- Leveraging holistic measurement to understand campaign performance
- Justifying the spend and tying business metrics back to upper funnel
- Consumers as your advocates by leveraging their reviews on Google Maps, Tik Tok, etc.
- Driving Search through social media channels
- Retail Media Networks and its growth as a media channel
- Building your zero and first-party data

After several years of driving significant ROAS improvements through shifts to digital and addressable media, Michaels needed to balance short-term ROI and sales with growing its customer base. As the retailer set its vision to be the place where all creative people could find “everything to create anything” and drive growth following post-COVID category contraction, the team created a 6-month learning agenda. Michaels’ SVP CMO, Amanda Rassi, shares how working with their media agency and platform partners, they were able to create and optimize a comprehensive media strategy to drive growth without sacrificing ROAS progress.

Panel: Modern Search: How Things Have Changed!

Modern search is less and less about keywords, and more and more about the A’s: automation, algorithms, AI.

How is it making things more efficient? What are the dangers? Do we actually need more of the A's? Hear about the good, the bad and the ugly as our panel of marketers discuss.

- Anthony Ginn, VP, Digital Strategy, Transamerica

"There is an almost familial feel about the Search Insider Summit. The incredibly high bar in terms of attendee quality both from the vendor and the brand side and the intimacy of a small group in some fabulous locations seems to elevate the conversation while allowing it at the same time to percolate far more completely. Would recommend this over any other conference in the space for its ability to create very fundamental value for the attendees."
