Dawn McDonald, executive director - global strategic marketing, communications & branding, Nexteer Automotive, and Nikki Little, vice president, Franco, will highlight the need to adopt an integrated approach across multiple channels and tactics to clearly connect the dots among megatrends, supplier brand and target audiences. They will share lessons learned and best practices for suppliers working to navigate the mobility industry’s rapidly changing communications needs.
In addition, Michel Bernaiche, senior marketing intelligence manager, Bose Corporation, will discuss a data-driven approach to business-to-business marketing in a business-to-consumer world.
