  • Create predictable marketing pipeline with display advertising integrated media

    While marketing and technology have become increasingly sophisticated, display advertising and content syndication has, for many, been left in the stone age. As other strategies and tactics become increasingly exciting or popular, theseis powerful tools are often not used to its full potential, leading to disgruntled marketers (and CFOs) and even a possibly damaging impact on your brand (after all, who wants to be spammed by an irrelevant advert?). However, used properly, and in a targeted, data-driven way, display advertising (combined with content syndication) can be a reliable and effective way to create a predictable pipeline for your business. With that in mind, this session will talk through: - How to ensure your display adverts reach the right people, at the right time, in the right channel. - How to use display adverts and content syndication to nurture leads throughout the funnel (and not bombard everyone with the same weak brand awareness content!). - How to prove the powerful impact this marketing strategy is having for your business’ overall revenue goals. - A real-life case study of how one technology company used this strategy to generate more than €1.5 million in qualified sales pipeline.

  • Cybersecurity in the C-Suite

    C-Level executives are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals: according to an IBM survey, “64% of CFOs, CHROs and CMOs feel the least engaged in cybersecurity threat management activities, yet are the stewards of data most coveted by cybercriminals.” With cybersecurity no longer limited to the concerns of the IT department and the broader workforce, in 2021 the risk of breaches and attacks touch every part of the organisation.

Join as we evaluate: - To what extent cybersecurity should be a priority in the C-Suite - How C-Level execs should consider their role in relation to cybersecurity - How training and education can help CISOs navigate increased risk at all business levels - And more This episode is part of The (Security) Balancing Act original series with Diana Kelley. We welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive panel session.
