Over the past few years, marketers have nearly perfected their approach to performance-based marketing. However, research shows that the businesses that perform the best over time have a strong command over brand value. For brand marketers, this is great news and luckily, there is a lot that can be learned from the techniques and approaches from performance marketers in terms of supercharging brand.

 

Nicole Jones, Kantar’s Chief Media Commercial Lead and Ryan Brendle, Global Director of Marketing Sciences at Reddit, dive deep on the lessons brand marketers can take from their performance based colleagues and how applying these best practices can help grow brand value and overall revenue.
