A New Marketing LandscapeIn recent years, the Internet has evolved from a marketing funhouse to an essential part of an organization's integrated marketing plans. Web sites have become the first place that consumers turn for information. Fortune 1000 companies are making big bets online - and as competition increases, the entire landscape has grown in complexity.
The Search for Relevance
This change has also accelerated progress to the point of delivering on the wild-eyed promises of four years ago. Customers are receiving more relevant, segment specific messages online and web sites are extending that relevance through more intuitive and satisfying user experiences. On the foundation of strong creative, data, and analytics, the real potential of the Internet is beginning to emerge - the ability to humanize the digital experience to build stronger, more profitable customer relationships.

Digital Media Outlook for 2005
presented by Dave Friedman, President - Central Region, Avenue A | RazorfishAfter more than a year of impressive growth, momentum and investment are clearly behind the digital media industry. While innovation has created new tools for accountability and measurability, only the most sophisticated marketers have realized the Internet’s intricacies, relying heavily upon customer data and advanced analytics that the Internet so uniquely captures. Although it is yet to be determined how marketers will capitalize on the opportunity that the digital medium has to offer, this discussion will bring clarity to the strategies and tactics worth investing in now, the trends that will lead the space in the future, and the roles that integrated data and technology will play in creating break-through cross-channel customer experiences.
Transforming Marketing Through Technology
presented by Chris Charron, Vice President, Research Director, Forrester ResearchMarketing executives talk about brand equity, retention, awareness, and share, but it is often difficult to link the money they spend to shareholder value. Changing consumer behavior, digital technologies, and new marketing formats are forcing marketers to evolve from a broad-brush acquisition approach to a highly targeted strategy designed to retain, service, and extend customers. Chris will discuss how technology is evolving the discipline of marketing, which new skills are required to be successful, how marketers can build a bridge with their partners in IT, and which technologies are needed to execute successful campaigns.
