How to Increase ROI by Reinvesting Your Media Budget into Content
Content is often an afterthought for businesses trying to increase their customer conversion rates, and it can be hard to persuade a board to invest in it. Curated Founder Simon Douglass explains why content shouldn’t be devalued or reduced to a blog site, and provides various case studies on how his Seven Cs Framework, which makes content a priority, has been successful in customer conversion. He will explain how clients have used his “gap analysis” strategy to improve their Google rankings.

How to Create a Winning Video Marketing Strategy
Holding your audience’s attention is a competitive business – every minute, 300 hours of video, and 1,400 blog posts are going up online, and it’s becoming more difficult to get our content noticed. Only three out of 10 marketers feel their content is effective and, in this talk, Jon Mowat, Managing Director at Hurricane, provides some tips on how to make sure you’re one of those three, and not one of the seven that don’t. Jon will look at why video marketing works, covering two of the main reasons it works so well: targeting and emotional stories.

Four Ways for Your Customer Marketing to Be Practical, Pragmatic, and Progressive in 2020

Stuart Russell, Client Services Director at Planning-inc, explains how you can keep your customer marketing practical, pragmatic, and progressive in 2020.
Decode Your Customers’ Unconscious Mind for Your Marketing Strategy
Without motivation, nothing happens. You can be motivated to do and buy all sorts of things online – but why would someone be motivated to make a purchase? LAB’s Head of Consumer Neuroscience Beatrice Andrew explains why it is important to focus on customer motivation in our marketing strategy, and how we can use psychology to motivate people to buy.

Don’t Build Websites. Build Digital Products.
Many websites are stuck in a place where they have merely replaced what a brochure used to do, with no real interactive element to them. Shaun Miller Digital Strategy and UX Consultant at Codehouse, discusses why companies should be doing more with their websites to create a more interactive experience for the customer in order to grow their organisations.
