Based on recent research by Econsultancy in partnership with SmartFocus, the Marketers' Biggest Challenges webinar will draw highlights from the "Marketing Pain Points & How To Overcome Them" 2015 report. The presenters will look at the challenges facing marketers, their "migraine rating" and how these pain points can be mitigated.
The webinar will drill down into a number of data-related pain points that cause headaches for marketers, including the need for accurate marketing attribution and the difficulty in gaining a single customer view. Themes covered will also include personalization, contextualization and email.
Jess Stephens, Chief Marketing Officer for SmartFocus, explains: "Marketing is now mission critical for businesses in a world where the consumer is constantly online and connected. Consumer expectations have risen and rightly so, but equally the pressures on marketers have also grown. Our research shows nearly three quarters of marketers now feel their job is more difficult than it was five years ago. This webinar is our way of supporting marketers and helping them rise to the challenge."

Our webinar will look at a selection of the biggest challenges facing marketers and examine creative ways to overcome them."
