The Growth Canvas - A Strategic Growth approach for Conversion Optimization MAIN STAGE

By analyzing the team structure, skills, methods and culture of several fast growing companies like Amazon, Booking.com or AirBnb, Andre found a similar pattern in all these organizations. After 3 years of research he published the „Growth Canvas“ - a model that shows three simple principles that can be implemented easily. In this keynote presentation, Andre shares insights and practical examples that help companies to get faster on the growth track.

3 Things you will learn:

Is Your Web Copy Converting? (How to Find Out and Fix it) MAIN STAGE

I hate to break it to you, but your marketing copy is probably cheating on you.

It might look okay on the surface but deep down it could well be working for your competitor: sending prospects their way instead of directing them to your call-to-action.

Most of the copy clients bring to me doesn’t actually suffer from the ‘pushy sales speak’ marketers fear, the real problem is actually underselling the product or service. Hiding or downplaying valuable selling points and compelling reasons for customers to take action.

3 Things you will learn:
- How to tell if your copy is being overlooked as the (boy/girl) next door
- Pinning down what customers ‘really’ want to hear for them to say ‘tell me more!’
- How to develop a rich list of selling points you can use directly in your copy to make it more compelling

The Impact of GDPR on your Conversion Marketing - LIVE INTERVIEW

Most marketers don’t believe that GDPR will impact their work. Boy, are they wrong! It’s clear that online marketing practices will be impacted heavily by the new legislation. Moreover, marketers have a lot of questions about GDPR:
- Will I be limited in my freedom to send emails to prospects and customers?
- Will I still be able to collect any customer data?
- I’m not interested in the legal part of GDPR, however what will be the practical implications for marketers that I should know about?
- Does GDPR also create opportunities for smarter online marketing? If so, what are they?

* This interview will NOT cover the pure legal and technical part of GDPR. It’s aimed to inform you as a marketer  and help you to shed light on the implications, opportunities and facts about the upcoming GDPR legislation specifically for online marketing practices.

Advertisers are paying more and more money to reach fewer and fewer people, as audiences consume endless streams of content across different platforms. When you can no longer buy enough attention for advertising to remain efficient?

Paid Attention explores how ideas move people and how advertising can and should change in response to changes in the communication landscape.

Topics covered include:

  • a critical look at market research
  • modern theories of communication
  • the vanishing difference between content, media, and advertising
  • what ideas are and how to get them
  • future predictions

Packed with real-world examples of advertising campaigns for companies including Sony, Red Bull, HP and many more.
