A columnist, commentator and blogger, he speaks worldwide on digital and marketing trends and best practice.
Title of the presentation: M3 (Modern Marketing Model)
The increase in new channels and technologies has dramatically changed the environment in which marketers operate.

Title of the presentation: Consumer not Customer, Value not Revenue, Actions not Numbers
In this talk, Russell will show how you need to change your thinking to look at the non-converting visits, shifting from customers to consumers. You then need to look at true ROI and value instead of just chasing revenue. Finally, he discusses how you can drive actions and not just provide numbers that fill a pointless dashboard.
There will be examples from all the major marketing channels; PPC, SEO, Display, Affiliates and Social for you to take back to your office. The finale will showcase the future of Lifetime value (Future Customer Value).

Search engines are metamorphosing. In this AI era, search engines are no longer about waiting for people to tell them what they need.

Smart marketers know they need to shift from advertising to service. Using advances in AI, companies can make customers’ problems go away- providing relevant, personalized solutions at scale. It's good for our customers and our bottom line.
Key takeaways include: Get an understand of the new AI-powered search features and opportunities, learn how to most effectively market to the machine—how to optimize your brand's information, so it can surface and repeat the information to interested individuals via digital assistants, bots, and voice search; and discover the different avenues available to help you influence customer behavior and grow customer lifetime value.

Title of the presentation: Repeatable Patterns — Getting Test Ideas From What Has Worked For Others, From UX Research Studies
When it comes to CRO and UX, it is common to refer to experiments done by experts in the field. In fact, those experiments may have worked on the websites treated by those experts sharing their case stories, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they will work for every website. In his talk, Peep Laja will explain to us how to really be inspired by experiments that worked for others and test them effectively to your website.

Hopefully, this will get people thinking, as well as start some monitoring and management!

Title of the presentation: Content Marketing is Broken and Only Your M.O.M. Can Save You
Traditional content marketing focuses on educational value at the expense of product value, which is a broken and outdated way of thinking. We all need to sell a product, and our visitors all need a product to improve their lives, but we’re so afraid of being seen as salesy that somehow we got lost, and we forgot why our content even exists.
We need our M.O.M.s! No, Oli is not talking about your mother. He’s talking about the marketing optimization map. In this session you will learn, among other subjects, content conversion strategies, how to use browsing experiences to create behavioral profiles of your visitors, and innovative ways to get the most out of your technology.

Title of the presentation: Excel is for Losers, Go Big data or Go home
His talk will explore a ton of examples and a ton of data that will show people how using tools like tableau and powerbi are going to become critical. Wil explains how anyone who uses excel cannot see what is possible with data studio, power bi, and tableau — once you find wins, you can replicate it across your agency.

She’ll list a mix of stats about other great companies that have tried these methods, give examples of companies, show off new frameworks, and hopefully leave the room with big questions to ask themselves to get to the heart of whether they are set up to be a world class marketing organization.
