Webinar | AI and Innovation in Marketing Technology
July 15.2020 Presented by SGInnovate and Withinlink
In today’s society, more and more people have turned to online resources for various essential services and to obtain information about the world. Now, when the term “work from home” is no longer a stranger to all, it is all the more crucial to look into how businesses can better engage end consumers through digital platforms.
Marketing Technology, or “MarTech”, has gained increased attention in recent years with the ever-rising demand for digital information. It refers to a series of applications or software which enable marketers to be able to measure and track marketing performance and apply insights to future campaigns just by collecting and analysing results from past or existing ones, in a multi-touchpoint, omnichannel digital environment.
In this event, we look at how marketers and brands across the Asia Pacific, especially China and Singapore, are using and investing in AI and Marketing Technology. This session looks at the current state of the MarTech industry in Asia and where it is heading and how to help marketers navigate the ever-increasing tools and technology available.
