Prof. Anil Bajpai welcomed all the guests to the 10th edition of Marketing Conclave and spoke about how Marketing analytics is fundamentally changing both business and consumer marketing across the customer life cycle. He was of the strong opinion that analytics is going to form the backbone of new age marketing strategy and is going to result in better cash-flow.

This years’ conclave witnessed three Panel Discussions followed by Marketics – innovative group coaching sessions.

Consumers today have become more aware and informed because of exposure to various media. From the company’s point of view, data has been democratized and hence it becomes easy to carry out initial product testing without much cost in today’s world. The key insight from the discussion was that with a proper understanding of customer DNA, organizations will be able to bring customers to the center of the business equation, leading to greater loyalty and value.
