Think Different: Why Lands’ End is Embracing Gen X

Speaker: Sarah Rasmusen, EVP, Chief Customer Officer at Lands’​ End

Lands’ End is zigging while other brands are zagging.

In this session, Chief Customer Officer Sarah Rasmusen will describe Lands’ End’s marketing efforts that keep Gen Xers loyal to their brand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tapestry Session Info

 

Today’s Customers, Tomorrow’s Growth
Wednesday, September 29, 9:00 am

Speaker: Noam Paransky, Chief Digital Officer at Tapestry

Consumer data privacy has become the new tech battleground. In response, operating systems and platforms have increased data protection and limit many of the mechanisms organizations previously depended on for targeting and attribution – fundamentally shifting the consumer data ecosystem. Tapestry has embraced these changes as part of its consumer centric transformation – embracing customer retention strategies while adopting digital marketing and measurement strategies in anticipation of the new normal. Tapestry’s CDO Noam Paransky will join us to share how Tapestry has been adapting customer experience and marketing in response to today’s customer needs.

 

 

 

 

Poshmark Keynote Info

Wednesday, September 29, 5:00 pm

Speakers: Steven Young, CMO at Poshmark and Swan Sit, Independent Board Director & Consultant

With more data privacy restrictions, greater competition and increased costs for paid channels, business as usual is a recipe for irrelevancy for retailers and brands. Despite this marketing landscape, Poshmark, a leading social marketplace for new and secondhand style, continues to experience significant growth. This discussion will provide a CMO POV on how a brand has successfully navigated a highly dynamic marketing environment.
