Top CMOs Convene at The Harvard Club - Boston to Discuss How Marketers Use the Power of Emotional Intelligence to Drive Customer Spend
Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 10, 2016 -- On Tuesday, November 15, 2016, The Harvard Business School Association of Boston will host top CMOs and marketing leaders to discuss quantifying the business impact of emotion and why emotional intelligence is the real deal for future marketers. The event titled "Emotional Connections: The Bottom Line" is slated to bring together over 150 CMOs and CEOs at The Harvard Club, downtown Boston location.
Humans are emotional beings and emotion is a primary driver of customer decisions about brand affinity and spend. Although the relationship between emotion and spend is intuitive, data from Forrester’s Customer Experience Index reveals that most firms have not figured out how to design experiences that evoke emotions to drive spend. The ability to understand and design to emotion is difficult. In a world of distractions and multi-tasking, companies are challenged to design moments that get above the noise to not only make an impression, but drive behavior. CMOs discuss this as the next big step in marketing around humans.
Moderated by Forrester’s Chief Marketing Officer, Victor Milligan, this panel of industry experts will cover the following:
- Discuss where we are in the science of emotion
- Reveal the relationship between emotion and revenue performance
- Describe the current state of the market and the growing revenue risk companies face
- Identify the tools and practices to understand and operationalize emotion in a market commanded by fickle and restless customers.
Panelists Include:
Bradford Matson: SVP Brand Communications, L.L. Bean
Chris Ladd: EVP Global Consumer Experience, New Balance Athletics, Inc.
Marcel Korst: Vice President of Product Marketing & CX Strategy, Mattersight
James L. McQuivey: Vice President and Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
