DESCRIPTION:[vc_row el_class=”cb-hide”][vc_column][vc_btn title=”REGISTER NOW” color=”green” size=”lg” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cvent.com%2Fd%2Fcvqjyj%2F1Q||target:%20_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nFive Ways To Win At Content Marketing\nPresented by Eric Housh\, CMO of TicketBiscuit and Mollie Durbin\, TicketBiscuit Marketing Director \nJoin us and learn proven strategies and processes that have helped TicketBiscuit launch successful new brands and gain massive audiences of fans and ambassadors. \nAfter being named CMO in 2008\, Eric immediately redefined the nature of the ticket buyer experience\, conceiving and driving the development of several programs aimed at artist discovery and internet marketing. In the years that followed\, TicketBiscuit continued its trajectory of relentless innovation\, launching what would soon become one of the largest primary ticketing affiliate networks and being of the first companies to offer mobile ticketing\, Facebook ticketing\, Apple Passbook integration and much more. He was nominated for Alabama CMO of the year in 2012\, and helped TicketBiscuit achieve recognition as one of Birmingham’s best places to work in 2013 and 2015. Eric was named TicketBiscuit Director of Sales in late 2013\, and has since led the company to consecutive years of double digit year-over-year growth. \nMollie’s background includes more than 15 years of experience in marketing and public relations in a variety of industries\, including entertainment/events\, healthcare and software. As marketing has become an increasingly technical endeavor\, she has been able to draw on her background in web design and coding to help companies “punch above their weight” in the ever-evolving digital world. Her ability to combine content marketing\, SEO\, paid search and other marketing efforts into one robust marketing engine has made it possible for her to help companies grow in powerful ways.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The FitzMartin process is linear and can be used to create “rational” buying experiences. This is a major “a-ha” for B2B marketers because it has repercussions for more than just tools but also behavior. It puts marketers in a position of serving as counselors/advisors to sales and across the entire enterprise. \nSean will share his lead tool\, a sales gap analysis\, and demonstrate how the Sales Gap framework was used by one of the 50 largest banks in the world to create marketing and sales alignment. He also will review the efficacy of marketing tools and sales behaviors and explain how that client created $100\,000\,000’s in sales (fee\, loan and deposit growth) using this process. \nSean will share: \n\nHow you can identify barriers to sales\nHow you can advance your professional marketing skills from “I think that will work” to “this will work because…”\nHow to collaborate with sales in pursuit of today’s revenue (and management in pursuit of tomorrow’s growth)\nA quantitative tool to evaluate sales process and behavior\nA quantitative way to evaluate creative and predict its efficacy\n\nAs a principal of FitzMartin\, Sean is a leading mind and voice on B2B sales and marketing strategy. Particularly adroit at applying the science of behavioral change to sales and marketing communications\, Sean drives the team at FitzMartin to focus on the needs of business and business leaders.  For over 25 years\, Sean has worked with businesses to solve the most pressing sales and marketing challenges: planning\, positioning\, and branding of course\, but also growth initiatives\, sales optimization\, metrics and analytics\, high value hard to reach sales programs\, customer experience mapping and design\, sales technology integration\, sales and marketing leadership coaching\, even fractional CMO engagements. \nClients include Georgia Pacific\, the Southeastern Conference and BBVA Compass. Sean’s first book\, Enabling Profit\, is a guide for an executive in charge of marketing but not trained to do it! \n Early Birds Register and Pay by Friday Noon May 15: Members $20\, Guests $30\, Students $10 \nAfter Friday Noon May 15: Members $30\, Guests $40\, Students $15\n\n**Early Bird prices accepted at the door for company checks and students cash.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:March Power Marketing Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]\nThe Next Frontier of Marketing: Human Engagement\nPresented by John Gardner\, Luckie & Company[/vc_column_text][vc_button title=”REGISTER NOW” target=”_blank” color=”btn-info” icon=”none” size=”btn-large” href=”http://www.cvent.com/events/march-power-marketing-luncheon/registration-182aab9ac6a74057a9ff60aca53fe9e3.aspx”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]The proliferation of technology\, data and connectivity has accelerated and amplified every aspect of the marketing ecosystem\, helping us as marketers optimize all our marketing processes. But\, is that good news for the customer? In our zeal to serve up highly optimized propositions\, have we gone too far? Statistics show that the effectiveness of marketing has never been lower while the attitudes of consumers toward marketers have never been worse. Have we become our own worst enemy in the pursuit of ROI? \nJohn Gardner recognized the need to set his agency on a new path\, to pioneer an approach for his clients that would help them recapture the love and support of their customers. \nJohn calls this revolutionary approach “the human experience” because as humans\, we all care about the entire brand experience\, not just sales or service. Engagement and response are optimized by what is best for the customer – not for the organization. In this new paradigm\, brands must first get much closer to their customers and listen to and engage with them over time and across channels and media. \nJoin us as John shares the new path he has forged for his agency called “the human experience” and how you might start to think about your marketing efforts in a whole new way that will separate your brand from the herd. \nAbout John Gardner \nJohn Gardner was named president of Luckie in 2013. John has worked with some of the top brands in the country\, including Regions\, Chick-fil-A\, Marriott\, Kohl’s\, Saks\, Disney\, Liz Claiborne\, AT&T\, Nestlé\, L’Oréal\, Lane Bryant\, GlaxoSmithKline\, Novartis and Pfizer. \n\nEarly Birds Register and Pay by Friday Noon\, March 13: Members $20\, Guests $30\, Students $10\nAfter Friday Noon\, March 13: Members $30\, Guests $40\, Students $15 \n**Early Bird prices accepted at the door for company checks and students cash.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

But if that information isn’t relevant\, exciting\, timely\, and shareworthy\, it is a waste of time.  Don’t waste time. \nLibby Romano\, Director of Digital Strategy\, and Lindsey Sims\, Media Director\, played principle roles in evolving Big’s public relations and digital services to meet this new challenge – effectively creating the agency’s content marketing service offerings from the ground up.  They’ve been integral in leading the charge on all things content and implementing effective strategies for clients.  What started as brand journalism back in 2012 with Big’s Alabama Gulf Seafood and Alabama Department of Commerce campaigns\, evolved into a recipe for creating\, developing\, and delivering compelling branded content. They call it content marketing: digital storytelling on steroids. \n Early Birds Register and Pay by Friday Noon February 13: Members $20\, Guests $30\, Students $10 \nAfter Friday Noon February 13: Members $30\, Guests $40\, Students $15\n\n**Early Bird prices accepted at the door for company checks and students cash.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
