Marketing Panel 2- Theme

“Marketing in the age of Voice Search and Virtual Assistants “

Brands today owe their success to their ability to signal quality and win buyers' loyalty. Unlike radio and television that revolutionized advertising and digital marketing that opened a plethora of opportunities for marketers, voice search and virtual assistant would not just be an improvement but rather a disruption in marketing. Brand marketing will shift from marketing directly to the consumer towards marketing on these Al-based platforms (Alexa, Siri) and indicating the "target customer" through various signals including ratings, branding, price, past buyers, and more. Brands will need to get their products on these Al-platforms to get them in front of their customers along with targeting customers directly through traditional advertising. Given this context, the panel discussion will revolve around how companies need to realign themselves, to ensure visibility of the brand, whether superior marketing strategy will still matter? If so, what is likely to be different in the new age marketing? And how will these technologies change the business landscape? The discussion would also touch upon the role of these search assistants in data analytics and market research with the panellists sharing their experiences on the topic.
