SESSION TITLE
Building Brands That Last
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Bring the difference between Log term vs Short term marketing. How marketing started as tactical, move to strategical and now we see a regression where demand and performance marketing are asking us for leads, conversions and sales.
We as marketers are reactive and we adapt to new things easily; however, we go after the new and shining thing like UGC, influencers or Ai. We end prioritizing the short term over the long-term objective.
