BUILDING THE BRIDGE BETWEEN DATA AND MARKETING
A common language shared between Data and Marketing experts can be the single most important investment that any organization make to help speed up insight generation and delivery. But in many cases, these disciplines can be ships passing in the night. We’ll walkthrough some of the pitfalls and successes that JP Morgan Chase has experienced over the past 15 years as we’ve continued to evolve as a company that focuses on creating data as an asset rather than data as a byproduct in order to help ourselves and our customers.

INSIDE OUT: HOW EMPLOYEES ARE THE ORIGINAL INFLUENCERS FOR INCLUSIVE MARKETING
Corporate communications and marketing aren't one and the same - but they're close cousins at the least. D'Shonda Brown will share how inclusive marketing and communications begin with an inclusive workplace environment. People don't buy products; they buy stories. So, why not tell the story of a diverse company culture that embodies belonging, equity, and justice? Attendees will learn from the acclaimed media professional and former entertainment journalist how the power of storytelling begins with understanding how to tell the story of your brand, company, or product, and how authenticity translates into trust, talent acquisition, and combating toxic workplace environments.
