ad:tech San Francisco on April 15-17, 2008 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Sponsored by BridgeTrack, a division of Sapient (NASDAQ:SAPE), the Clinics will also relay the following:
-- How to obtain a true holistic snapshot of marketing campaign data;
-- How to make adjustments to marketing campaigns in real time; and
-- How to drive a more compelling return-on-investment for marketing expenditures
"As marketing budgets tighten, optimizing every dollar remains a 'hot button' topic within the marketing world," said David Murphy, general manager of Sapient's BridgeTrack division. "Marketers and agencies are turning to BridgeTrack, our digital marketing suite, to dramatically increase customer acquisition and improve the overall management of campaigns across all digital channels."
Introduced in November of 2007, BridgeTrack 5.0 is the industry's only integrated digital marketing suite that enables real-time reporting and optimization across multiple media channels--including email, display/banner advertising, search, offer pages, transactions and Web sites--all from a single hub. By delivering both timely and actionable data, BridgeTrack 5.0 lets marketers and agencies immediately leverage the interdependencies between those channels to accurately measure the effectiveness of online campaigns in real-time. Marketers and agencies can then recalibrate and improve results at the earliest possible phase of their campaigns and re-allocate marketing dollars across those channels that are generating the best return on investment.
The three Campaign Analytics Clinics will offer new insight on how to diagnose and treat the most common causes of campaign distress. The sessions will be led by Joey Wilson, director of marketing strategy at Sapient and will feature real stories from the frontlines of internet advertising.
The three clinics are as follows:
-- Analysis Paralysis: Do you know which metrics really matter?
-- Catastrophic Success: Are you prepared for the best case scenario?
-- Tactical Myopia: Broaden your vision and understanding of channel interdependencies
The clinics will take place at the Moscone Center in Rooms 132/133 at the following times:
-- Tuesday, April 15: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
-- Wednesday, April 16: 1:30pm - 2:30pm
-- Thursday, April 17: 1:00pm - 2:00pm
