Question: which side of marketing is more creative, the art or the science? Most would agree that, historically, it’s the art that has received all the creative glory. But clever copy and arresting images aren’t the only expressions of creativity, and writers and designers are no longer the only artists in the room.
Modern technology is empowering marketers of all brains (left and right) to solve problems and build customer experiences like never before, with greater personalization, context, and relevance. Join Mautic’s VP of Marketing, Katie Staveley, for a webinar that will open your eyes to why it’s critical that marketers work to build the skills that bring the creative forces of art and science together.
At the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
- Understand the difference between artistic and scientific marketing creativity
- Empower your team with new creative approaches to your marketing tactics
- Engage your creative side and deliver better marketing messages
- Identify the technologies that will help you be more creative
- Strengthen your overall marketing skillset to maximize your technology investment
