On July 11, 2019, the Marketing Committee of AMCHAM decided to put together a new type of event: a speed dating session allowing members and non-members to freely and openly discuss with different Marketing experts.
The idea came from the realization that startups, SMEs, large companies all share similar Marketing & Communications concerns. The aim of this session was to help the audience navigate these topics that range from:
- Global strategy
- Implementing campaigns
- Using social media
- Generating content
- Events that bring you ROI
- Navigating the world of PR (press relations)
The event was hosted at PwC and opened with the presentation of 3 case studies:
- Bogdan Toader, Founder of LuxCreators, talked about the strength of corporate vlogging and its potential to raise awareness and improve brands’ visibility.
- Kerstin Becker, Managing Director of Business Pilotage Consulting, presented how to best integrate online and offline Marketing within a campaign.
- Helene Thouvenin, Head of Marketing at PwC, explained how the company evaluated its customer’s satisfaction and the tools used to do so.
At the end of these presentations, 6 of the members of the Marketing Committee of AMCHAM spent time with the attendees to answer their concerns and questions, on a one-to-one basis. With a combined experience of 100 years their shared experiences proved invaluable.
