Do you know what your customers really want from you? Do you know why they come to your website? What motivates them to purchase from you? To blog about you? The answers to these questions guide the new rules of marketing in a digital age.

Join Tom Collinger, Dean of the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) program at Northwestern University, as he discusses why relevance rules. The IMC graduate program that Tom leads was pioneered by Northwestern and focuses on making customer-centric, data-driven decisions. Together, you will review:

  1. How Customer Centric Marketing Improves Growth
  2. Why Relevance Rules
  3. The Impact of Engagement Optimization

The digital world has transformed marketing over the past decade. Consumers now have more information and power at their fingertips. Because consumers know more, they expect the companies with whom they interact to know them better as well.
