Customer behavior is undergoing a dramatic shift due to mobile technology. The phone is often the last thing people check at night and the first thing they check in the morning. It's not a stretch to believe that a nomadic Masai warrior roaming the plains of Africa today and armed with a smart phone has more access to information than a US President did just 15 years ago.
These evolving realities are placing pressure on marketers to evolve their marketing and customer engagement strategies.
Join us as we explore immediate and long term mobile trends, the critical role of analytics in sensing and responding to customers, and the important questions senior marketers should be asking now.

- Consider the ways that customer behaviors are changing due to mobile technologies.
- Know the most important questions to ask in developing a mobile strategy that integrates into a cohesive overall marketing plan.

"Before, even if we had the ability to get the
cost of the sensor down, we wouldn't have
been able to transport, store and analyze the
data. Now, with the evolution of tools for
managing and analyzing big data, we have
both.”
