After Singapore opened up post COVID-19, every marketer is getting back on the right track to boost their marketing performance, which resonates with the theme of this edition of MarTech Summit – Envisioning Marketing and Technology into Performance.
Let's have a quick look into what this summit has covered!
Summit Highlights
Of course, the first question – What do you think MarTech is (in one word)?
Digital, data and effectiveness and so on – all the keywords here are leading to an effective MarTech stack idea and execution. "It's important to demonstrate the value of what an end-to-end MarTech stack can bring to your organization, how you can turn data into insights throughout the customer journey and how this helps in achieving your business goals." – June Goh, Associate Marketing Director, Ostomy Care, Convatec Global Emerging Markets.
The second question, as everyone is now moving towards a data-driven approach in marketing, but what are the barriers?
POLL: If your organisation is struggling to adopt a data-driven approach – what is the biggest barrier to entry that you are facing?
To champion the end-to-end data process, technology enablement is definitely essential to complete the processes. "An optimized tech-stack can be complex, start with existing technology and squeeze value from it first before investing in new solutions; and Develop a multichannel decision engine to prevent conflicting messages and drive maximum value per touchpoint" – Neha Dadbhawala, Director of Digital Marketing Operations, McAfee.
When it comes to the customer journey and customer experience (CX), it's closely related to data but yet another independent realm that requires marketers to tackle every day.
WORD CLOUD: Describe "Customer Experience" in One Word from Your Experience
It is insightful to see how our audience described CX in one word. What caught our eyes would be "seamless" and "authenticity"!
"Marketers need to focus on the customer experience outcome first rather than technology, build a new capability top down with external support at the start but with a clear plan on how and when to in-source key areas, and exhibit value and impact regularly, even on a small scale." – Saurabh Patel, Group Head of Marketing, IHH Healthcare.
Stepping into our customers' shoes, we might find out how we as marketers engage and curate effective customer experiences and journeys.
WORD CLOUD: As a consumer yourself, which was the channel you last engaged on with a brand?
All the channels listed above would be common, but it does give us a glimpse to consider new customer engagement methods and platforms.
"It's important to start with the consumer insights on where your consumer is at and what content are they consuming in that channel then figure out the role of your brand in that journey." – Lianne Mui, Digital Marketing Director, Asia Pacific, McCormick & Company.
