ABOUT CMO

The Malaysian CMO Conference 2019 is themed Marketing Central:

Marketing is at an interesting intersection now. With major cross winds in the global trade environment, every brand is affected with more uncertainty than ever before. We explore how brands are winning with big data and marketing automation. We study what brand resilience is all about. We question what works and what doesn't.

Movies inspire us to dream big. They make bold predictions about the future all the time. Many of these predictions are around the blurring line between the online and offline world - smartwatches, space navigation, targeted advertising, robot vacuums, and virtual assistants may have all been dismissed initially. But look at how we live today. Srikanth explores marketing and technology predictions made on the big screen and how they're implemented across industries.

11.30am

There is always a new path towards telco customer engagement. The long-promised concept of omnichannel, in which various distribution channels are truly integrated, is finally becoming a reality now that mobile and web are seamlessly connected, and automation and personalization are possible with advanced analytics. These factors present a chance to take customer engagement to a new level, accelerating the whole organization. To succeed in digital customer engagement, the agile processes and mind-set must be complemented by a strong technical foundation that will increase execution power and channel reach, as well as enable new use cases. Even with the three pillars of buy-in and talent, agile ways, and flexible technology in place, a next-generation digital marketing transformation will undoubtedly encounter obstacles. Listen to our power panel as they dissect, analyze and provide recommendations on the way forward in this arena.

The FMCG is a notoriously fickle industry, and understanding future market trends is essential for market players to make critical, near-future decisions when it comes to new market penetration, market expansion and product development. Only when upcoming markets are appreciated can revenue-focused strategies be developed. E-commerce will continue to grow in this regard, and consumers will want premium product convenience as well. A greater focus on healthier products is also on the cards, with greater disposable incomes and millennials becoming big FMCG influencers. Sustainability is also becoming a prominent FMCG trend and population density will be a factor in this regard as well.
