Talk Shop over Chops Roundtable Executive Presentation, Networking & Dinner Event By Invitation Only Thursday, March 6, 2008 6:00 pm Denver Chop House & Brewery | |
Welcome!
Please join us for this exclusive, invitation only event for senior marketing executives like yourself, featuring Naras Eechambadi, Founder & CEO, Quaero Corporation. As marketing has evolved in an emerging multi-channel, interactive and socially networked world, marketing organizations have been challenged to evolve to meet these changing needs. This dynamic environment has made it necessary for many marketing departments to reorganize themselves, their processes and hire new kinds of people with a different set of talents to meet the challenge of operating in these complex new environments. Marketers have had to invest a great deal more in technology such as data warehouses and marketing automation to house large quantities of transactional information about customers that are collected across these multiple channels, sophisticated campaign management systems to communicate with customers across channels and, recently, marketing resource management tools to organize complex work flows and meet demands for increased transparency and compliance. They have also had to build dashboards and measure both the highly fragmented marketing spending and the returns on that spending with a great deal more discipline. How can marketing executives justify this additional spending on building capabilities and infrastructure? Does it not add overhead and take away from spending against marketing programs? If the ROI on marketing expenses can be challenging to measure, the justification on investment in building longer term capabilities can be infinitely harder. It makes intuitive sense that investments in marketing capabilities can make marketing spending (i.e. the traditional marketing mix) more effective and efficient but is it true? We researched this question by surveying senior marketing executives. Their answers might surprise you. This speech will preview the findings from a forthcoming article in Marketing Management. Your attendance at this event also enters you into our drawing for a day pass for you and a guest at Keystone Resort as well as a night at the lodge. Our winner will be announced at the event and has to be present to accept.
