The Simon Page College of Marketing Masterclass is a free monthly session aimed at bringing together industry leaders to share their expertise in an interactive forum.
This month, our guest speaker is Sesan Ayeni speaking on Human Connection, Technology & Marketing.
With the advent of technology, marketing has changed in several ways as people now spend more time with their mobile phones, tablets and laptops. Brands now have the challenge of connecting with customers via various devices in real time. Today’s prospects and customers want to enjoy better service, personalised solutions as well as more value for their money. Businesses are harnessing the power of technology to meet these expectations. Too much dependence on technology can however lead to a loss of real and personal connections with prospects and customers.
How then do marketing professionals leverage technology in marketing without losing the ability to build and sustain lasting customer relationships?
