Rebel and Infinite Retail (Super Retail Group)

Marketing expectations are being reset. Elevated by unprecedented data insights, challenged by saturated brand markets and compelled by polarising consumer allegiances, marketers today must exhibit an acute awareness of their customers and the world they envisage for themselves. Which global trends are proving consequential for marketers? From professional service giants to challenger brands, how are CMOs collaborating in the shifting services industry? What criteria should CMOs apply when forecasting potential partnerships? How is regulation and rhetoric on privacy impacting marketers globally?
Marketers hold dominion over consumer touchpoints. Given the consumer journey now tracks deep into the heart of the corporate, CMOs are fully equipped to influence organisation-wide strategy. But this consumer-driven mandate is tied to accountability for achieving corporate growth. How much influence can CMOs be expected to wield across an organisation? How can CMOs share the ethos of marketing across the executive structure, and what are the predominant challenges to this reconfiguration? Which metrics should CMOs emphasis when proposing strategic value to the C-Suite? How are CMOs engaging the board to fully assume business leadership positions?
The case for advanced analytics is made often, but rarely overstated. The immense potential of advanced analytics to both accelerate and quantify value remains largely untapped by CMOs, an omission attributable to the sheer pace of technological advancement and compounded by budget constraints. How are CMOs leveraging advanced analytics to measure previous intangibles in marketing and demonstrate ROI? How can CMOs instigate the move to analytical decision making? Should CMOs evangelise consumer data across the business? Dealing in close-proximity with consumer data, what responsibility do marketers have to promote data integrity, particularly as the asset is ported throughout the organisation? Are CMOs embedding analytical leaders in the marketing function?
Human attention is a scarce resource. Marketers are hungering for a definitive voice, one that can be heard above the swarm of content engulfing consumers. Once elevated, marketers can begin to build a meaningful, and profitable, connection. Is it possible to sustain a narrative that creates an emotional, lasting response in today’s consumer environment? What are the latest strategies for amplifying content and generating cut-through? How can CMOs generate executive buy-in for content campaigns? Should marketers moderate their reliance on social media giants and draw consumers into their own content ecosystems? How often should marketers reassess their risk appetite?
Connection has empowered consumers – inauthenticity is easily discernible, scarcely forgotten, and rarely forgiven. Marketers must possess a deep understanding of their target audience and resonate for results. How do you gauge if your brand has consumer permission to join divisive socio-political conversations? It is impossible to mean something to everyone, so how are marketers resonating with consumers at scale? How are modern marketers reframing their approach to audience segmentation? In what ways are global brands localising their approach for greater authenticity? How can established brands shift their perception to engage new audiences?
Consumers are continuously flirting with brands across multiple devices. To remain competitive, marketers must curate personal experiences – the prompt, tailored delivery of content relevant to the customer’s interests is paramount. How are marketers consolidating consumer touchpoints to project a 360-degree view of the customer? Are the most significant obstacles to pursuing a customer centric model organisational, or technical? What metrics are marketing leaders leveraging to hone their understanding of consumers? Are marketing investments in the mobile space disproportionate to the rising prominence of the platform?
Technology is where pressure meets possibility. Revolutionary digital tools are creating new marketing opportunities, but with enduring pressure to ensure stable ROI in an increasingly competitive environment, the challenge of deciding which initiatives to pursue and which to ignore has intensified. How are marketers aligning with the business to forecast the profitability of technological investments? What technologies, with artificial intelligence at the core, are prime for experimentation in marketing? And which existing marketing methods carry the most value moving forward? How can CMOs orchestrate a strategy for technological renewal?
Celebrating its 5th year, the Marketing Leaders Summit is unparalleled in the level of delegates and speakers it attracts.
