Marketing Campaign Planning - 7-Step Guide to success

In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, marketers face a daunting challenge: there are now over 15,000 MarTech solutions on the market, making it increasingly difficult to choose the right tools. Without a clear framework, it’s easy to invest in technology that doesn’t align with your marketing goals, leading to wasted spend, fragmented processes, and missed opportunities for growth.

Using the proven RACE Framework and Smart Insights' MarTech Essential Tools Wheel, Smart Insights’ Head of Content, Amelia, and Head of Customer Success, Claudine, will guide you through how to select and apply the right tools for your marketing strategy, ensuring your technology investments deliver measurable results across the full customer journey. 

You’ll learn how to evaluate MarTech tools through the lenses of strategy, integration, usability, and ROI, before exploring how different solutions map across the four stages of RACE: Reach, Act, Convert, and Engage. To bring this to life, we’ll walk through two fictitious case studies (B2B and B2C) that illustrate how common marketing challenges can be addressed with the right MarTech choices. These examples showcase how to apply tools strategically across the funnel, from improving lead nurturing and integration to boosting retention, loyalty, and compliance. 

We'll also talk through our popular MarTech essential tools wheel and how you can use it to future-proof your marketing, considering long-term governance implications. 

In this webinar you'll learn:
- How to evaluate new MarTech tools using four universal criteria: strategy, integration, usability, and ROI. 
- Which types of tools align best with each stage of the RACE Framework: Reach, Act, Convert, and Engage.
- How fictitious B2B and B2C case studies demonstrate practical solutions to funnel-wide challenges.
- A step-by-step checklist for building a future-ready MarTech stack.
- Common pitfalls to avoid when selecting and implementing new tools.

Your mid-year digital strategy check-in: what’s working, what’s next?

In 2025, some businesses will continue to reap the opportunities of AI, while other will fall further behind. We say this since our recent research with Technology for Marketing showed that fewer than 50% of businesses are exploiting AI in their marketing and less than 20% are using a strategic approach to AI based on a playbook or governance policy. 

In this webinar, presented by Smart Insights co-founder Dr. Dave Chaffey and Matt McGillicuddy, Head of Growth for our content partner Infinity, we will review the latest trends of AI adoption for marketing focusing on using AI to boost lead generation and conversion. They will recommend 5 key actions to improve your use of AI.

Dave and Matt will explain: 
> How to use a more strategic approach to integrate AI into your marketing and lead generation activities
> How to audit AI use and opportunities for lead generation and broader marketing communications
> How best to introduce Generative AI such as ChatGPT into your workflows
> How AI can fill the attribution gap to improve data quality to improve results
> How to prioritize implementation of AI activities across the RACE customer lifecycle

Matt will show examples of how businesses adopting AI for lead management are generating large increments in their results through using an AI-supported feedback loop for call analytics.

Join us to learn the latest trends and best practices in using AI to compete by improving lead generation.

Transforming Lead Generation with AI:  Key actions for 2025

Available to watch live or on demand at any time, this webinar provides an in-depth introduction to the RACE Planning Framework, developed by Smart Insights. Designed to help marketers plan, manage, and optimize their marketing activities across the customer lifecycle, the session will guide participants on applying this framework to create a cohesive and results-driven digital marketing strategy. With a focus on planning for 2025, attendees will gain actionable insights to future-proof their campaigns and achieve their goals in the year ahead.

Planning & Preparing your 2025 Digital Marketing Strategy with the RACE Framework

Personas are a popular marketing tool which can help us understand our core target audiences and improve the effectiveness of communications with them.

Often, we find personas contain just a ‘thumbnail’ of user demographics. While these are useful for a shared understanding of key audiences within a business and to help towards consistency of communications, they do not provide you with opportunities to really target intent. We believe more actionable personas are essential to inform today’s complex marketing communications. 

However, we know it can be difficult to know where to start and what to include...

In this webinar, Amelia Cooper - Head of Content at Smart Insights - will share the three core elements you need to create an effective persona, tips and tricks to improve the quality of your personas, and advice on how to incorporate them into your marketing strategy. 

After this webinar, you will:
> Understand what a persona is and the value they can bring to marketing
> Recognize the 3 key elements you need to include to create an effective persona
> Be able to quality-test your personas
> Know how to apply personas to your marketing strategy

She will also share some useful Smart Insights' resources to help you at each stage of your persona creation.

There will be time at the end of the session for questions.
