USG: BUILDING YOUR B2B BRAND THROUGH EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Your brand builds and loses equity based on the interactions your customer has with your company. Yet in many organizations, brand building is left to the marketing department and customer experience falls in pockets across functional areas. When these two are disconnected it creates a fragmented and disjointed experience. In this session, Tanya Earley, director of global brand and customer experience – USG Corporation, will share how thinking differently about the USG brand increased overall customer satisfaction, and in turn, increased customer retention and loyalty.

BADER RUTTER: “B2B2C" AND CONSUMER TRANSPARENCY’S IMPACT ON B2B MARKETING
The days of B2B marketers solely focused on the needs of their business audience are a thing of the past. With consumers as the end users of many products and services, the role of consumer transparency in B2B is a force to be reckoned with - and one that is also new to many B2B-focused brands. Consumers have come to expect transparency from the brands they buy and for B2B-focused companies, it presents an opportunity. As B2B marketers, you can lead by embracing “B2B2C” efforts such as educating consumers about sustainability, quality and safety of their products. And in doing so, position your brand on the proactive side of transparency.
