CONTENT CREATION IN THE AGE OF INFLUENCERS

Consumers are increasingly craving relatable content to guide their purchases, and they look to social media and digital creators for their inspiration.

SAFELITE AUTOGLASS: IF YOU CAN'T MEASURE, DON'T DO IT

How do you create the ability to measure every digital interaction and then begin to use the data to make better decisions? In this session, Safelite AutoGlass will share how they’re leveraging data to optimize their digital advertising investments and improve their customer experience. From understanding what the path to purchase really looks like (think tangled headphone cord rather than funnel), to how people jump from phone to Web and back again, you’ll learn what Safelite has done to make sense of the data and take action to improve performance.

CONNECTED AND CONVERSATIONAL: DIGITAL ADVERTISING SOCIALLY AND BEYOND

Building direct relationships in a digital landscape dominated by social platforms is more important than ever.

Discover how chatbots, conversational commerce, and contextual messaging are opening up new opportunities for advertisers and the customers they serve.
