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?
Taking a break for some networking, personal break needs, or just to stretch out a little, we'll offer some light power snacks to keep your energy high, refill the coffee, and then get right back into the sessions!
