Forums

The Figaro "Digital Health Check Forum" is a one day forum for leading digital marketers who are looking to source new suppliers and improve their digital strategies.  The event is being organised by Figaro Digital in collaboration with our digital partners.

The concept of this event is that through one-to-one meetings and presentations in the theatre, each delegate will leave with fresh impetus to improve their digital strategies as well as forming new business partnerships for future collaborations.

For delegates this event is completely free of charge, but to qualify for a place, delegates will need to give us detailed information on their budget, authority to buy, and sectors in which they are looking to invest, as part of the registration process.This will then be passed to our agency and digital supplier partners so they can prepare accordingly. The effect of this is to provide each delegate with a detailed "Digital Health Check Report" on their chosen sectors.

Please call the Figaro Team on 01727 220520 if you have any questions regarding this event.

There will be one agency or digital supplier representing each of the following key sectors:

Analytics
Behavioural Targeting
Affiliate Marketing
Content Management
Design & Build
Display Advertising
E-commerce
E-Mail Marketing
Mobile
SEO
Social Media
PPC
Usability
Viral Marketing
Video/Rich Media

During registration each delegate will select five of the above sectors and give information on their current activities so that each agency and digital supplier partner can prepare, plan and research accordingly.

For delegates the day will be split equally between supplier meetings and presentations from our speakers in the Hospital screening room.

During each 40 minute meeting, the agency or digital supplier will run through a report for each delegate, thereby maximising delegates time and giving a truly valuable document that can be implemented into their digital marketing activities.

The full itinerary for delegates and our agency and digital supplier partners will be given out one week before the event.

10 for 2010

The major theme for 2009 was the economic crisis with the general consensus being we can use search to market our way out of recession. Whilst officially figures for Q4 see the UK moving out of recession some experts are predicting 2010 will be a much tougher year. With everyone tightening their belts, creating efficiencies within existing PPC budgets seems to be the main campaign driver. During this session we will reveal 10 search tips & techniques you can employ to get the most out of your paid search campaigns. These strategies have been proven on campaigns with multimillion £ budgets as well as those with more modest spend and will help increase conversion volume, brand exposure and ROI.

Performance Marketing; More than just Pay on Performance?

Why do brands assume that Display Performance Marketing is only restricted to Pay on Performance models? More often than not, they restrict themselves to Affiliates and the small group of publishers that will work on a CPA basis to run their Performance Marketing strategy. But such a viewpoint can seriously limit the potential returns of your campaigns. The great advantage of digital channels is that you can use data to allow you to work in much more imaginative ways and still get the responses you need within the performance model you desire.

This presentation will take you on a whistle-stop tour of Worth Creation, Behavioural Marketing, Value over Rate and other Key Buying Metrics that you can use for your Display Performance Marketing, guaranteed to improve your value targets whilst ensuring great volume response.
