Keynote:
Succeeding at digital experience is a team sport: How to get your entire team to care more about digital experience

Flat budgets, hiring freezes, declining consumer spending and rising acquisition costs. You’re more than aware it’s tough right now.

But despite these challenges, we see too many brands still leaving money on the table by not prioritising investment in the digital experience. At a time where every brand needs to be proactive, many of them … well aren’t.
And that's often because teams have their own priorities and aren’t all aligned to a shared business common goal. But waiting for a “better time” to prioritise improving the digital experience comes at a price…

From more aligned training, overcoming your toughest 1-2-1 battles to improving ‘fan’ feedback and eliminating unnecessary errors, I’ll explore some proven ways you can get your wider teams to rally together to put digital experience front and centre to get perfect results.
