"Companies are increasingly using different ways to engage with their customers. Yet, the challenge is for them to set themselves apart from their competitors as they are vying for attention amidst a deluge of information. Social media is also playing a significant role in changing customer expectations when engaging with brands, resulting in a faster-paced environment that is re-inventing itself on an almost weekly basis," says Mandie Herzfeld, senior solutions manager, integrated marketing management at SAS Institute.
Well-known media personality Jeremy Maggs will be the MC and facilitator of the panel discussions. Topics will include the shifting social dynamics in South Africa and how marketers can promote brands with an understanding of their customers, how marketers can infuse creativity and innovation in the dynamic local market, and how to drive an e-brand experience.
The panelists include Dion Chang, Retha Keyser, and Arthur Goldstuck- all internationally acclaimed experts in their respective fields. There will also be several case study sessions that will look at the business case of using social media and how SAS clients are effectively using the SAS Customer Intelligence solutions in this dynamic market landscape.
