CAR SITES SHOULD BE MORE LIKE ONLINE DATING (EVEN BETTER)

Most car sites are glorified car brochures. They don’t help you find your dream car. They let you build a digital car that may or may not exist, then send you to dealerships with fingers crossed. And they don’t work for shoppers who are used to e-commerce sites like Amazon and Zappos. The new VW.com takes cues from an unlikely source: online dating sites. It uses matchmaking functionality to help shoppers find their dream car based on whatever they’re looking for — a particular model, features, color, or even price. Discover how this digital platform gives VW the opportunity to interact directly even more with their consumers and provide the most seamless, efficient digital car buying process of any automaker today.

ACCELERATING THE TRANSFORMATION AND INNOVATION OF MARKETING

Mobile brings the promise of marketing innovation, allowing marketers to connect with consumers in new ways and rethink the value that they offer to them. But innovation without a plan to measure results is difficult to sustain and build upon. 

Measuring the impact of mobile in the marketing mix is an issue most marketers are struggling with. In this session, you will hear results from the Mobile Marketing Association’s SMoX research study which will reveal how marketers can measure the impact of their mobile spend. You will hear initial results from the first study conducted with AT&T which will deliver real, actionable and practical insights for marketers on how to integrate mobile and make their other media work harder.
