A Peer-Powered Innovation Sessions to Spark Go-To-Market Improvement Strategies
There is no doubt that an effective and efficient go-to-market strategy is critical for today’s brands, who must manage an increasingly complex web of digital and physical touchpoints. With each opportunity to engage, brands must best understand how each channel and each experience is impacting the customer’s buying agenda and advocacy position—did a micro-moment shift the buying decision and create a loyal customer, or did it fail to achieve its intended goal?
But even across the most sophisticated customer experience strategy, there can be multiple points of disruption, distress and deficiency. Marketers are now questioning the effectiveness of product launches and marketing campaigns, asking if the orchestration of these critical moments across the entire sales, distribution, merchandising and customer support repertoire now requires innovation and modernization. This transformation and move toward efficiency will necessitate new skills, insights, resources, warehousing footprints and analytics to optimize demand-side planning, procurement, production, storage and just-in-time provisioning of critical marketing support, product packaging, merchandising and order fulfillment requirements.
Most importantly, this shift to optimized go-to-market strategies requires new champions and new thinking. But where will this new thinking emerge? What partners will come to the table with new trends and new technologies that can turn these new ideas into engagement realities? Read more >
To spark innovation and transformation, the CMO Council, in partnership with the NPES (the Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies), will host a full-day session as a CMO Council Elite Retreat, dubbed the “Brand Inspiration Forum.” Peers and partners will gather in one room to share insights, challenges and instruments of change to evolve go-to-market strategies.
Some of the inspiration and guidance that will be shared, debated and discussed will include:
