The panelists, Rusty Rahmer, Ed Nini, Cynthia St. Pierre, Justin Poser were led by Erin Arvedlund who moderated. Some key themes:
- the types of content being consumed continue to change and expand and require more resources to deliver
- the importance of a comprehensive program brief that include goals, benefits and metrics that span the buyer’s journey from brand awareness to marketing qualified leads to closed transactions and retention
- best practices for driving home corporate messaging in the context of local markets
- the shift to product promotion from thought leadership
- marketing ETFs on a shoe string.
Thank you Kevin Windorf and Rachel Block for a high quality discussion.
