ANA Brand Activation Shopper Marketing @ Coca Cola (Members Only Conference)

This event is over.

Today, more than ever, the customer journey to purchase has more options than ever – including e-com, mobile and even via text. The battlegrounds of commerce, regardless of channel or product category, are more deeply rooted in the experience – in store or digitally – to make the journey easier to navigate. Accordingly, the landscape is changing in shopper / retail marketing from “just” creative activations to transformative customer activations and experiences – and the results are increased customer acquisition and retention.

Hosted by Coca Cola, this Members-Only Conference features sessions from leading marketers and thought leaders who will share case studies and best practices on how they leveraged shopper and retail marketing innovation to surprise and delight their shoppers, differentiate their shopping experiences, and improve ROI. You will also have fantastic opportunities to connect and learn from other interested members of the marketing community at this event.
