The Efficiency Conundrum:
Building Profitable Customer Engagement Programs on a Tight Budget

In the past, marketing teams had seemingly endless budgets and were encouraged to take risks and learn from their mistakes. However, times have changed, and marketing budgets are being reduced while marketers are expected to deliver better results. This creates a paradox for marketing teams that are expected to achieve more with fewer resources. The focus on marketing efficiency has become more crucial than ever before. So, what can marketers do to succeed in this new environment?

App Growth Summit Testimonials

Laura-Maria Pyter

"AGS is inspiring, informative, and networking gold! It is not just another industry event, it's a community of supportive and curious professionals who are genuinely interested in helping you achieve your own success. The sessions are engaging and informative, leaving you inspired and motivated to apply new insights to your own role. My eureka moment was answering the following for myself: Would you rather invest thousands of dollars and time into programs or training materials that you'd have to sift through in frustration alone... or... attend this event for 2 days and leave knowing you've leveled up just being there? "
