"If your company is one of those scaling back or even hitting 'pause' on external spend, there are still plenty of ways to invest in marketing content, infrastructure, data, creative and other areas that will pay big dividends when things get back to normal. Here are 10 ideas to consider.

1. Map your content.

Audit your existing content library and map each asset by form factor, persona, vertical and funnel stage (early, mid, late). A content map is a great way to take stock of your existing assets and identify gaps, particularly for ABM, where content that speaks to very specific personas or industries is key..."

"It's a calculation, and it's related to money. That's about as far as the knowledge goes.

But because of its connection to cost and revenue, it's incredibly important for businesses to monitor the ROI of everything they do, especially when it comes to marketing..."

"I got one of those in 2018, mere months after I started at data.world as their first growth marketing and demand generation hire.

My initial role was to grow the user base for our free, open-data catalog. But I soon found out our real challenge was monetization. We had built the world's largest open-data community but-like so many startups-didn't have a clear product-market fit..."

"Generally, having a small actively worked new business target list is better than a large one that rarely receives the necessary attention. But in today's climate, it's important to understand which of your long-term targets has short-term potential.

Your short-term potential is likely to come from your ability to address their short-term important priorities in a way that can deliver provably superior outcomes compared to any other credible option that might be available to them..."

"Bear in mind, you'll find no reference to COVID-19. No quick fix marketing scams here to make a dollar out of this disaster! Many of the trends I will be discussing have been growing for the last couple of years, rather than the flavour of the month.

Each week, I talk about marketing theory as well as the practical implementation of a different marketing theory or topic. We don't just want to talk about the 'what', we think it's important to understand the 'how' and 'why'..."

"With expectations for technological advancements at their peak, we're tasked with enabling these systems to work together harmoniously to support the continuous sharing of information.

Systems and data must connect to allow full use of capabilities as if all information were native to each. There also must be many ways to present information to end users, though data is evolving on a constant basis. Given this complexity, it's not surprising that an intelligent CRM system in an enterprise environment requires specialized insight and know-how to ensure a seamless integration that's both relevant and current..."

vBeers@Boca is sponsored by TechLauderdale:

• "TechLauderdale promotes the growth, connectivity, and awareness of the thriving technology ecosystem in Greater Fort Lauderdale"

Hosted by John J. McLaughlin

"I vividly remember my very first annual award ceremony. The beautiful trophy that I had earned back in 1997 and just how special it made me feel to be recognized as a rookie employee in front of all my peers for doing a good job. The years progressed and I continued to strive to do my very best. The awards kept coming year after year after year. I became addicted to the feeling associated with the "rush" of accomplishment and recognition from my leadership team. My collection of crystal awards became a quest for me each year. With every new year, I identified a number that I put down as my goal to chase that year. If I hit that goal or exceeded those expectations, then I would be able to add another trophy to my collection and also make more money for my bank account. In fact, I came to be known as "Money Merbler". That was then..."

The eMerge Americas 2020 conference previously scheduled for March 30-31st at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, FL, is postponed to November 4-5, 2020 due to global precautions for the COVID-19 Coronavirus, the state of Florida's public health emergency declaration, and building upon recommendations from the World Health Organization.

We're committed to the health and wellbeing of our attendees, partners, and the community as a whole. This decision follows careful consideration, and this postponement will enable us to provide the experience that our customers, partners, and employees expect and deserve in a safe environment.
