Breakout Sessions: Set II
It’s no secret technology has changed the way buyers make purchase decisions. Because of this revolutionary change in consumer behavior, the brands we work with are faced with a new set of challenges, specifically in their communications plans.
As agency leaders, it is our job to stay ahead of trends so we can guide our clients through the maze of change and keep our roles relevant. We can’t just leave this technology stuff to our teams.
Being a technologist means more than having Facebook and Twitter accounts. It means we know about search engine optimization, content management, and social influence. It also means knowing how to look at analytics and track meaningful metrics such as conversions and things that are triggering real ROI — not AVEs.
At the end of this session, attendees will learn:
