As we approach an economic downturn with inflation, rising bills, and, as a result, reduced consumer spending, brands are being forced to redefine their marketing strategies. With the changes in data privacy and the loss of cookies (for real this time), performance marketers are facing many challenges, and the need to find new ways to sustain growth is imperative. Connecting and maintaining consistent and relevant relationships with consumers throughout path-to-purchase is a must. What kinds of personalization and engagement tactics are resonating with today’s customers? And will they still in 2023? The continued expansion of third-party retailers and marketplaces means competition for brand recognition is more intense than ever. Where marketers invest their money has become a balancing act. Should they prioritize driving ROI? Or is testing new platforms and creative to attract new customers more important? In today’s omnichannel environment, how are marketers approaching their media strategy and determining the right fit for their brand?

We will explore:
- Tactical and holistic strategizing across all media channels
- Content that drives consumers both down and up the funnel
- Leveraging holistic measurement to understand campaign performance
