ences at this exclusive conference.
My goal as conference chair is to ensure that CEOs, presidents and marketing
executives take home actionable initiatives, as well as new, meaningful relationships with other marketing professionals and suppliers. This very unique forum offers
opportunities for informative conversations and networking with franchise marketing
professionals on a personal level.
Our theme, “Own Your Audience,” is all about understanding and engaging your
customer—whether that’s your end user or your internal audiences of franchisees
and front line employees. Our keynotes will dig deep on the topic of understanding
your target audience, and our breakout sessions will cover everything from Relationship Management, Marketing Execution, Brand Development and Rejuvenation, as
well has strategies for garnering franchisee buy-in and participation. We’ll tackle
the mission of truly understanding and owning your audience, and how it will help
develop compelling messaging that gains and retains customers you seek.
So mark your calendar, gather your marketing team, enlist the participation of your
favorite marketing peers and join us for the 2013 Franchise Consumer Marketing
Conference. You will learn. You will grow. You will connect. You will have fun!
