Advertising Week 2016 Panel: Beckon, Coca-Cola, Reebok and IBM Share What's Working in Modern Marketing, Use Data to Put Hot Marketing Trends to the Test

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Beckon, the leader in marketing intelligence software, is speaking at Advertising Week 2016 taking place in New York City September 26-30. Responding to Beckon's marketing performance analysis of over $16 billion in marketing spend, Beckon CEO Jennifer Zeszut and marketing leaders from Coca-Cola, Reebok and IBM will take the stage to discuss popular marketing tactics that in reality have little to no impact on the business, as well as highly effective strategies that few marketers are taking advantage of. Using actual performance data and case studies, the panel will debunk current marketing "best practices" and highlight effective but underused tactics.

DETAILS

What:

Marketing Truth or Marketing Hype? Hot Marketing Trends Put to the Test  



Why: At industry conferences, marketers hear about all the things (mostly buzzwords) they should be doing. Be more targeted! Content creation is the name of the game! Be agile and data-driven! You're bringing programmatic in house, aren't you? Speakers cite anecdotes, but few cite strong data.


Beckon aggregates marketing spend and performance data for top brands around the world, and runs analytics to help them understand what's working best across it all. With more than $16 billion in marketing spend across 203 brands and 120 countries in Beckon, alongside clean, trusted performance data for every channel imaginable, Beckon and its partners are uniquely positioned to lead an objective discussion and evaluation of marketing trends that don't live up to the hype, and underutilized tactics that demonstrate real promise. Topics include content creation, non-working media spend, programmatic buying and agile marketing.
