           Getting the Balance Right between Direct and Brand Marketing

with 

Louis Gudema

​

NEDMA is focused on direct marketing. And over the past 20+ years, new digital

channels and tools have given marketers an unprecedented ability to target narrow

market segments with relevant offers and evaluate and optimize their campaigns in

near real-time. The result at many companies has been an almost total focus on

what leads and sales marketing is producing this month and quarter.
 

In this session Louis Gudema will review the latest studies on how  the best brands

are balancing brand and direct response campaigns and what the best ratios are for

B2C, B2B, and startups (and what makes these hard to implement in many companies).

Louis will also review:
- The role of creativity and emotions in the best campaigns, with examples
- How long you need to give your campaigns
- Why you need a multi-channel approach
- How important are differentiation (not as much as you think) and brand purpose

(virtually nothing)

- How companies can measure the success of their brand programs

 

A special emphasis will be put on applying these best practices to B2B companies.
