IGNITE 2017
Customer Experience
September 22, 2017
Event Overview
The Cincinnati Chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA Cincinnati) presents our inaugural Ignite! Regional Conference this year, concentrating on the heart of the marketing matter: Customer Experience.
From insights and influence to innovation and advocacy, all marketing roads lead back to the Customer Journey. In pursuit of DIFFERENTIATION and DELIGHT, we employ our best listening and communications skills, make promises that matter and deliver on them, infuse our organizations with the Voice of the Customer (VOC), operationalize the optimal experience, be who they want us to be and yet represent exactly, authentically who we are. NO BIG DEAL, right? It’s a tall order – all consuming and ever evolving – with obstacles and opportunities at every turn.
Join us on Friday, September 22 as we take a walk in the customers’ shoes. What do they need and want? Where and how do they buy? What do they expect from product and services providers? How are we different from the other guy? What makes us special, easy to do business with… valuable? Where does nurturing turn into a sale and vice versa? What are the tools we can use to communicate with, understand, and convert our customers? How deeply into the experience does the digital world dig? (Hint – we think it’s all the way!)
