Event Description

Commerce has evolved but many brands are still stuck using tactics built for a slower, less connected world. From outdated promotional strategies to legacy measurement models, the disconnect between spend and sales is growing. This session will unpack what’s no longer working and offer a more modern approach to media, measurement, and shopper activation that aligns with how people actually buy today.

BWG Connect & Ampd invite you to participate in an interactive discussion with your peers.

As always, there will be no sales pitches and there is no cost to join.

Discussion Topics

  • Still relying on MMM as your main compass?
    • Media mix modeling wasn’t built for the speed of modern commerce. Explore how brands are replacing lagging indicators with real-time signals that drive smarter spend and faster results.
  • Is 'Where to Buy' killing your conversion rate?
    • Treating it as the default is a mistake. We’ll show how leading brands are unlocking better shopper experiences through measurable, high-intent purchase paths.
  • Are you still using the Robinson-Patman playbook?
    • Legacy promotional strategies rooted in outdated legal frameworks are holding brands back. Learn what a more agile and performance-driven approach looks like today.
