of insurance and technology?

From Doug

Friday was the deadline for ICTA nominations. One arrived Wednesday, another on Thursday, a bunch came on Friday, and one even squeaked through the door on Sunday. Deadlines are a fact of life.

Marketing is becoming ever more technology-enabled, automated, and personalized. Tools, channels and consumers are growing in numbers and also in sophistication. We can (and do) now measure every performance indicator imaginable.

The challenge in marketing today is finding the optimal balance among effort, cost and potential reward, and then continuing to refine the plan through its execution.

Thursday's webinar by Kanetix Ltd. will take a deeper dive into the puzzle. As was the case with InsurTechTO and its preview webinar, more pieces will be on the agenda at ICTC2018.
