Workshop 1: Digital Technology Workshop
Workshop Facilitator: Steve Robinson – Advisory Board Member, Institute of IBusiness
Cracking the ROI Nut: Use Iterative Technology Practices to Keep the Graph Moving up and to the Right. There is a lot of buzz in the digital technology community around proving our existence to stakeholders and demonstrating a positive return on investment for the costs of digital marketing. The glut of tools on the market to handle measurement coupled with massive investments in social media, sometimes with little to show for it, leaves leaders at many organizations asking questions. They want their agencies and teams to connect the dots connect between their investments (paid, earned and owned) and the bottom line of the business. Steve will demonstrate, through industry best practices, client case studies, and third-party data, how marketers can take what they are doing right now and apply a set of simple rules to not only demonstrate return on investment, but also create a system that is self-optimizing toward better and better returns.
