With data overloading our minds and measurement metrics the new mantra for successful and accountable marketing, we are now in a tailspin of new ways of doing things.
Even these ways change by the day. The charged up ecosystem, where budgets get lower, channels keep increasing, and targets get unrealistic, it is easy not to lose one’s mind while trying to survive, let alone thrive.
Journey with our speakers at The Malaysian CMO Conference this February 10th at Sime Darby Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur and learn from their inspiring discourses as you centralise your focus on innovative pathways to marketing success.
This year’s theme will address marketing’s pain points and why it can be very easy to distract from the only person that matters – the consumer.
THE FINAL TOUCH – CREATIVITY IS BACK
ChatGPT is not a catalyst that adds anything new to creativity, that is not already available in the marketplace. It is a tool for quick commoditised content, and perfect for PR templated fluff.
Also good for in-house entry level content generation by marketing organisations, because it is not subjected to the same vetting standards applied to external agency partners.
ChatGPT can certainly make any report voluminous, ideal for board members who insist thicker is better. But once the more than 1 million people who downloaded that app provide more intelligence to the machine, it is still early days.

WHOSE AUDIENCE IS IT ANYWAY?
Reaching and influencing consumers has been at the heart of every marketing campaign. However, the media channels such as television, radio, print, digital, cinema, social media and OOH have been siloed with no single customer view across these channels.
With the advent of adtech platforms, the same consumer can be reached through any one of these channels. The world of omni-channel media and addressable audiences will move the discussion from reaching audiences to influencing them. This session explores the omni-channel world of data and automation.

MARTECH IS NOW YOUR TECH
Why MarTech? What’s so good about it and why is it so important for companies to adopt today?
As any business owner or marketer can attest to, there are limitless tools available to help your organization generate awareness and support sales efforts. These are known as marketing technology (or MarTech) tools. As the world continues to rely on technology to make connections and bridge the gap between us, it’s more vital than ever to truly understand the tools and technologies available to you, especially if your company is considering making an investment.
The prevalence of big data in all businesses, big and small, has brought with it a number of challenges, but also opportunities, particularly with regard to digital MarTech.
Central to the utilisation of this data is the ability of businesses to offer a more personalised approach than they were able to before.
The more data you have, the more information you have to be able to target your campaigns at specific, segmented groups across all your platforms.
The better you’re able to understand your prospects (and customers) and target your campaigns, the more effective they’ll be and the more leads you’ll convert.
