Learn

I like to share my knowledge. I live and breathe the philosophy of continuous improvement and learning. Below is a sampling of some of the presentations and discussions that I have been fortunate to participate within the Advertising, Marketing and Product Operations space. I am especially proud of my affiliation with AdMonsters and 8 Meter Media. Many of the presentations and group discussions at events filled with people sharing best practices while teaching and learning from each other.

Mark merged more than 1,000 radio station websites onto a common ad technology stack, built a global ad technology and operations strategy, and launched the first real-time airborne ad server at Gogo where he’s building a Marketing Operations function. Mark’s roles at Metromedia, Cox Radio, Jacor Broadcasting, Clear Channel, Point-to-Point Direct Marketing, Orbitz, and Gogo have included Marketing & Promotions Director, Client Services Director, Sales RVP, and Partner Marketing Operations Director. One wish for the MO field: better tools and automation, with better API connections, since the technology is too fragmented with too many silos. Mark’s pastimes include traveling the world. Why the “Marketing Technology Success Stories & Nightmares” panel is must-see: the fundamental principle of continuous improvement is LEARNING… why not learn from others? Continuous improvement is endless.

Marketing Technology Success Stories & Nightmares

Automating marketing processes has been a holy grail, but when outcomes are unclear, companies waste significant resources, money, time, and energy without the expected return on investment. Technology is not a magic bullet, but can be an enabler of efficiency and effectiveness when implementation success factors are thoroughly understood, planned and arranged. There are plenty of successes as well as nightmares about marketing technology, and more can be learned by comparing and contrasting the good and bad side-by-side. In this session we’ll discuss:

Ways to identify and arrange success factors
How to rise above vendor messaging to focus on your realities
Opportunities to better understand processes and data that determine technology success
Making decisions transparent and measurable
