SMS has exploded as a powerful marketing channel that drives customer engagement, loyalty, and conversions. But, with a history of complex regulations and compliance standards, SMS marketing can be a challenging channel to add to a marketing mix. Iterable has partnered with Telnyx—a licensed international carrier— to provide brands with more flexibility and greater global reach.

The Women, Language & Power session, led by leadership and communications coach, Susannah Baldwin, Ph.D., explores issues of gender, power, and the extraordinary role language plays in inhibiting or unleashing women’s potential to be effective and powerful in the business world. Susannah will explore the social conditioning that results in women modifying their speaking to always be collaborative, contain their bodies and voices, and put others’ needs before their own – minimizing their effectiveness in the workplace. This session focuses on how women can make new language choices that connect them to their power, themselves, and their goals.

When it comes to empowering your customers to help them reach their goals, nailing the journey is key. But customer journeys are rarely a one-and-done deal. The world moves fast, and companies must adapt as the times change to support their customers’ ever-changing needs.

In this session, join Nicole Fisher, Sr. Manager of Engagement Marketing at Glassdoor, as she recounts how Glassdoor has evolved to ensure that customers find the right job for them, through the beginnings of the pandemic and beyond.

The hybrid model of work is here to stay, and business leaders are working to get the formula right. Strong company culture is critical to success, but how can you build a company culture that resonates with all employees — in-person, hybrid, and remote? 

Join this interactive roundtable, facilitated by Iterable’s DE&I team, to learn how today’s leading companies build and sustain a thriving hybrid company culture.

In this session, you’ll hear all about the latest innovations and enhancements to the Iterable platform, including a look at Iterable’s new AI Optimization Suite.

Sales in the retail space have evolved. “Instead of Always Be Closing,” the saying should be, “Always Be Providing an Individualized Customer Experience.” It doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. Today, it’s imperative that we, as brands, understand the wants, needs, and preferences of retail customers. Connect with fellow retail and ecommerce marketers to share your knowledge and hear how others are using dynamic content and more to create individualized experiences.

Some of the fastest-growing industries are also the most male-dominated ones. Even when gender equality is prioritized in one workplace, advancements are rarely evenly distributed, and barriers to women persist in many business and corporate functions. 

Join this interactive roundtable, facilitated by Iterable’s DE&I team, to talk through best practices for advancing gender equality and empowering women in the workplace.

Providing a consumer app or service is all about customization. What do customers really want? On top of determining what users are looking for, you also need to figure out how to meet expectations. Connect with others in the consumer apps and services industries to hear how they’ve integrated individualization into their marketing strategies and share your own insights and experiences.

Intersectionality is the acknowledgment that everyone has their own unique experiences of discrimination and oppression, and businesses must consider all sides of marginalization — gender, race, class, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc. — in company culture and marketing.  Without an intersectional lens, efforts to tackle inequalities and injustice towards marginalized populations are likely to just end up perpetuating systems of inequalities.

Join this interactive roundtable, facilitated by Iterable’s DE&I team, to debate how business leaders can work to be intersectional allies.

Participants are encouraged to identify their pertinent real-life stories and use them to connect with audiences.

Our customers communicate with us through micro-signals. As email marketers, we tend to focus on success metrics or explicit signals—open rate, click rate, conversion rate, unsubscribe rate—but what happens in between can be just as important. Jason will discuss how recognizing signals using customer engagement (or non-engagement) can create a roadmap for a more relevant communication plan for all of your customers.

Have a mobile app? Get together with like-minded mobile app marketers to discuss two powerhouse marketing channels: in-app messaging and push notifications. These channels tie directly to your mobile app but are part of a larger cross-channel strategy. Talk with peers about the challenges and successes your team has faced with implementing these channels and the different types of messages that resonate with audiences. You’ll take away next steps, new tests to try, and innovative ideas for using in-app messaging and push notifications.

Marketing to other businesses comes with its own challenges—you need to understand your end users from both a demographic and behavioral perspective to ultimately increase usage within your product. More usage = an increase in adoption = retention and ultimately growth. In this roundtable you’ll be able to connect with marketers from other brands looking to drive product lead growth and hear how they create individualized marketing strategies for their end users.

Let’s say you’re feeling inspired and you write a poem about Activate Summit. How would you know if it’s a good poem? The truth is, it’s hard to evaluate something that’s subjective if you don’t have a framework in place. (Although we’d love to see that poem.)

The same is true when it comes to crafting successful A/B tests—a solid framework is crucial. Join this session with Tally’s Sr. Lifecycle Marketing Manager, Alex Orton, to uncover how to use Iterable to create an effective A/B testing framework to clarify, guide, and power up your experiments.

“Best practices” is one of those phrases that never seems to go away. Ultimately, we all want to do our due diligence, especially when it comes to crafting an email program. But when does a “best practice” turn a guideline into a limit?

In this session with Allie Donovan, Quince’s Head of Retention & Lifecycle Marketing, discover why it’s time to throw out historical best practices, and look instead at individual demographics, behaviors, and testing strategies to maximize email engagement and revenue. You’ll learn how to think differently and develop strategies for testing against best practices and you’ll leave with fresh campaign ideas.
