Are your Marketing Efforts Truly Addressing the Trends in Your Industries?

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

It is no surprise that marketing is not a one-size fits all concept. However, we see time and again the same strategies being played out across companies of all sizes and industries, without stopping to peel back what drives action among consumers. We aren’t just talking about white papers vs. banner ads. This happens at an even higher level. What trends are happening within your industry that are challenging market conditions? Have your consumers’ behaviors changed in last 6/12/18 months? Even if you have this information, how do you update your marketing strategy to address these changes? In this sessions, members from the Oracle Marketing Cloud Industry Solutions Center of Excellence will moderate a discussion with clients across various industries to share their expertise on researching industry trends and developing new marketing best practices to help clients adapt more quickly to an ever-changing modern marketing landscape
