Analytics to Show What's Working in Marketing Now

02:00 PM - 02:45 PM Primrose 6/7 (50TH) Back to event schedule

What marketing tactics are working for marketers in our channel, and can they actually prove it with real statistics?

Join a panel of detail-oriented marketing professionals working "in the trenches" at ISV and VAR organizations. They will share what's truly driving results in marketing today, backed by real data and analysis. This session focuses on proof points rather than generic marketing advice. Discover what's effectively generating high-quality leads that convert into closed deals, and the metrics they use to analyze results.

Key learnings:
• The marketing strategies that are driving leads now (with data points).
• What analytics to present to the executive team.
• How to measure soft ROI vs hard ROI.
• Analytics pitfalls to avoid.

Our expert panelists will pull back the curtain on their most successful strategies, revealing how they cut through the digital noise to generate high-quality leads and accelerate conversions.

This is your opportunity to learn from peers, exchange innovative ideas, and ask the questions that matter most to your business growth.
