Following the keynote, a high-profile panel featuring Lucas Brooks, CMO of NextLevel Innovations, and Jenna Roberts, Senior Marketing Executive at BlueOcean Digital, explored the challenges and opportunities in leveraging social media and influencer marketing. The panelists discussed how businesses can collaborate with influencers to authentically connect with younger audiences and drive conversions. They also addressed the growing importance of content marketing and video in driving consumer engagement.
The forum’s networking sessions were designed to help attendees build relationships with potential collaborators, marketing tech companies, and industry peers. The Digital Marketing Expo allowed attendees to explore the latest digital marketing tools, from AI-powered customer segmentation software to automated email marketing systems, offering a comprehensive look at the future of marketing.
