I. 3M: DIGITAL EXCELLENCE TRANSFORMS CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT AND DRIVES ECOMMERCE GROWTH (10:00-11:00AM)
As a B2B powerhouse, 3M has long been deeply embedded in its customers' businesses, a critical partner in improving processes and outcomes. Decades ago, that meant "following the smokestacks": Going to where the work was, observing that work closely, and discovering opportunities to develop innovative products that drive improvement and productivity. Now, in the digital age, 3M applies similar principles in new channels and platforms to drive social engagement success and fuel growth through eCommerce programs. In this presentation, Amy Lamparske, Social Business Leader – 3M will draw from the past five years of digital best practices and eCommerce execution in diverse go-to-market models. She will also discuss social engagement initiatives across B2B forums, blogs and social media platforms that have led to 3M brand revitalization.
