Many global marketing organizations lack, or are hindered in, the ability to integrate, analyze and extract insight from multiple internal and external databases and real-time data streams. Siloed information, unreliable data, limited IT resources and the difficulty of finding and financing resources with quantitative marketing analytics skills is challenging CMOs to better detect, predict and react to market opportunities and shifts. Making smarter, more penetrating and substantiated marketing decisions is driven by effective use of data analytics and real-time market intelligence gathering. Marketing's credibility and influence with management is directly related to it's ability to track, measure, quantify and represent the value of marketing and its impact on the acquisition, retention and recovery of business. Predictive modeling, forecasting/simulation and campaign measurement and management have become critical elements in strategic market and business planning. Senior executives from Farmers Insurance and Allstate Insurance will touch on many of the benefits and use of marketing analytics applications in segmentation, sizing, customer life time valuation, prospect identification and qualification, cross-sell/up-sell, churn and retention tracking, brand equity measurement, marketing mix modeling, spend and offer optimization, pricing etc.
Breakout Invention Sessions
How should marketers best advocate, allocate and regulate marketing spend as companies expand globally and face more choices and challenges in where and how they invest in demand generation, customer experience, retention and brand building? With a major shift to "Adaptive Spend Strategies and Practices," the annual budgeting exercise is being transformed into a continuous, year long process of spend calibration and flexibility. The need for adaptive spend is being driven by global sales pipeline requirements, evolving competitive challenges, pricing and promotional developments, business issues and incidents, channel sell-through priorities, as well as opportunistic revenue-generating situations or partnerships. The CMO Summit will tackle this evolving allocation issue through a dynamic series of small, breakaway group invention sessions for a full day of interaction and workshop style discussion on optimal approaches to better allocate, adapt and advance the value of marketing spend. Teams will be challenged to identify the key forces and factors that influence and shape the size and distribution of marketing budgets, including cultural, political, historical, and organizational planning.

Rebuilding Brand America
Dick Martin • Author and Former EVP of Public Relations,
Employee Communications and Brand Management • AT&T
As business looks to expand globally, regional perceptions on the state of the American brand promise can drastically shape and alter how "American" companies are perceived. If a region harbors distinctly negative perceptions of the American brand promise, will that negative belief taint the brand message of a company that is viewed as distinctly red-white-and-blue? Dick Martin, noted author and long time marketing and communications leader, will share how the current state of America's brand perception can affect business practice - and how marketers can safeguard their brands and prosper, even in uncertain political times. His most recent tome, Rebuilding Brand America, is an unflinching and vivid look at anti-Americanism, from the earliest days of its formation in Colonial times to current government and private attempts to mitigate it. In his Summit keynote address, Martin will look at brand recovery efforts and the most important must-have best practices of all global business leaders.
Using Trusted Networks and Influence Groups to Drive Advocacy Sales
Myra Norton • CEO • Community Analytics LLC®
Harvesting the Power of Human Networks ® has become a strategic imperative for marketers seeking to more cost-efficiently drive demand and increase market receptivity and adoption. Fundamental to this is the need to uncover the relationships of trust and advice seeking among customer communities and know where and how to plug into these active agents and advocates. Community Analytics ® is a research organization based in the principles of social networking. Founded in 2004 and fueled by the desire to understand the evolution of networks, Community Analytics ® set out to bridge the gap between industries and the communities they serve. A study by the Baltimore-based firm, which works with Fortune 500 companies in a variety of industries, reveals that more than 80% of the Key Influencers among their customer communities are unknown to them. Community Analytics ® conducts ongoing research with its clients and leading academic institutions to quantify the economic impact of Influence Networks on both sales and marketing efforts. By focusing on the significance of peer networks the team is able to understand the critical role that relationships play in advice seeking during the decision making process. Closing keynote presenter Myra Norton will present greater insights into the role and value of identifying and mining Influence Networks to increase advocacy, uptake and revenue.
