Digital marketing & mobile consumer

Speaker: Daniel Rowles, UK's leading expert on digital marketing

The use of smartphones, 4G and Wi-Fi have made mobile phones the first choice for consumers. With more than 50% of searches, 90% of Facebook activity on phones and 90% of mobile media time via Apps/messaging chatbots - Ofcom, 2017.

But phones are not the only choice; with tablets, laptops, wearables and other devices being used to access information. Multi-channel and multi-platform strategies, increasing automation in digital marketing techniques, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are challenging the digital marketer, before we even consider consumer engagement, online purchases, SEO/SEM, GDPR and analytics.

This event, hosted by Wolverhampton Business School, is designed to help marketers better understand the digital journey, digital transformation and cultural changes affecting consumer engagement, acquisition and retention. ‘Mobile’ is not a fad, mobile marketing is here to stay. Now is the time to integrate mobile and optimise marketing effectiveness.
