Search Engine Strategies (San Francisco)
Google has several unmissable sessions at SES. Be sure to attend these two focused on measurement:
Business Optimization in a Digital Age
We were promised that Marketing one day would become rocket science. Well, we are almost there! Search continues to become more complicated, and more exciting. Then there's Social and Email and Display and Video and... so many more things. It is hard to understand how to do one thing right, much less try to do all of them right. In his exciting keynote
Avinash Kaushik will share his unique perspective on balancing multiple media channels, leveraging super awesome metrics, grounding your digital existence in driving economic value, and leveraging the Clear Line of Sight model to ensure you are optimizing across all four of the most important business drivers.
Date: Tuesday, August 14 from 9:00-10:00am PST
Understanding the Mobile Customer Journey
Mobile apps are changing the consumer world and app developers, brands and marketers continue to invest heavily in the development of applications. This session will be an open dialogue about:
- How there are currently more than 600,000 mobile apps on Google Play - and why you need to understand how your app is found, why it is critical to stand out and why mobile analytics are key to improve your apps performance in increasingly competitive marketplaces.
- Brands increasingly creating mobile applications to reach their customers, and why they need to track and report end-to-end measurements of their results (as well as integrate mobile measurement holistically across digital tactics).
- What are some of the best practices to begin mobile campaigns (landing pages, click-to-call, analytics, integrations, etc.).
- Examples of brands, SMBs etc. using mobile in an effective way.
- The future of mobile - where it is headed and when.
