Marketing has the challenging job of leveraging a multitude of channels in a meaningful way – those that exist within their own organizations, as well as those of their partners. That’s where digital, corporate, field, product, and partner marketing all come into play. Is there a better way to convert customer engagement into brand loyalty? How can marketers leverage data and IoT technologies to enhance existing relationships and build new ones? Learn how IoT companies can turn marketing challenges into opportunities across the buyer’s journey during this interactive panel.
