As we move forward at an unprecedented marketing speed in an age of data based connections (AI), faster & faster internet speeds (5G & beyond), newer ways of connecting (metaverse, voice etc), trust based connections (blockchain), we do not just grapple with cross media channels, or building multi-channel strategies – Marketers need to plan how Brands can live, engage, communicate and build marketing profitability in an era of Omnipresence.

Moderated By: Sumeet Singh, Chief Marketing Officer, Info Edge
With profitability and customer acquisition cost being front and center more than ever before, we take a look at how Organic Search is working for you. Is it your Candy (quick fix), your Vitamin (nice to have) or Painkiller (need to have)? We dive deeper in to why it needs to be your Vitamin and how you as a brand marketer can make that happen.
In this session marketers will learn how to decrease their customer acquisition costs (CAC), increase average order value (AOV) and increase conversion rates effectively.
The Indian marketing landscape is going through a monumental transformation. Communications providers, regulators, customer engagement platforms, and enterprises are building a more efficient, robust, and innovative communications ecosystem. Offering a compelling omnichannel experience is right at the top. Omnichannel excellence requires a laser-like focus on value creation. Leaders in the field take a hard look at their strategic and customer priorities and decide who they want to be from an omnichannel perspective. And they develop an equally clear-eyed understanding of what it will take to achieve that ambition. By embedding these principles into their retail strategies, leaders can use the momentum—and urgency—of the present moment to create decisive advantage.
If the One Minute Matchup didn't do it, this Shindig surely will. Catch up with your peers and business associates on this Day 1 Rendevous over interesting cocktails followed by dinner - the perfect way to build relationships with key conference delegates, speakers, and sponsors in a more relaxed atmosphere.
