April 2024 | Academy | How to Talk Beyond Vanity Metrics

Panel discussion about corporate strategy, brand strategy and communication strategy

Join us for an insightful Academy about ROI Metrics!

In a landscape where every impression, share, and click competes for attention, savvy marketers must navigate with precision and understanding that true success goes beyond the surface-level allure—and shall we say excitement?—of marketing vanity metrics. This panel will explore ways that marketers can leverage the art of speaking beyond the echo chamber of numbers, charts, and marketing lingo to speak to real value and outcomes. This skill helps create stronger relationships with clients by gaining understanding and alignment of their priorities.
