PLEASE VOTE! http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/53313 SXSW Session Description: No offense, but there’s a reason your marketing sucks: it’s all about you. In today’s world of the ever-connected, information-empowered buyer, you can’t afford to lose their attention like this. Attention is the currency of the information age, and buyers (B2B or B2C) only give attention to the brands who understand them. This is the only competitive advantage that matters today. Let's talk about how we got ourselves into a world where consumers inherently mistrust our marketing and expect a new level of customer-centricity. Let's remember why we're here in the first place and what NEW tactics and technology are emerging to help get this right. Join this session, and cut the sh*t.

is to know and understand
the customer so well
