First, going to abbreviate the conference name in the title. It is just too long. This session is Driving Tangible Business Value through Integrated Cross-Channel Marketing. Being presented by Lars Birkholm Petersen and Darren Guarnaccia.
- This track is focused on Best Practices and what is shipping or about to ship
- Improved Customer Experience = Improved Share Price, Consistency drives loyalty, Integrated marketers outperform
- People, Process, and technology (Like any business problem)
- Using Process Means:
- Understand your customers
- Know their motivations
- Know the buyer journey: Awareness> Solution> Selection
- Know their lifecycles: Awareness> Information> Convert> Educate> Retain> Advocacy> Awareness
- Sitecore focused on building tools to help the development of the marketing process
- Assess Digital Maturity, Digital Maturity Model, 2.0 (being released this year)
- Alignment the Strategic Objectives
- Scoping
- Roadmap
- Moving to the technology tools, mapping them to the lifecycle
- Awareness: CMS (web and mobile), DMS (campaigns and personalization), APS (Dynamic brochure)
- Information: same tools
- Convert: CMS, DMS, DRM
- Educate: CMs, DMS, CSA (community education) (CSA must be the acronym for the community module)
- Advocacy and Awareness: leverage of all tools, tying into social tools
Time to go see what they have with Social Connect. We use a similar feature on the AIIM website but I’m pretty sure we can do more. It is technical so hopefully it doesn’t dive into code.
