About the talk
You’ve heard about agile marketing, marketing operations, and the customer experience before - they’re not particularly new categories in our very dynamic, fast-moving industry - but you probably haven’t realized yet just how mission-critical they are. Truthfully, investing in them nearly always pays off. Just ask anybody on this panel. They’re going to give you more than a few hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled martech case studies - from Workato and Aqcuia, to Pantheon and Clevertap - to make the point, and they’re going to do the hard work of distilling the top-performing best practices from them for you, so you can get straight to work on them as soon as you get back to the office.
