Tracks Venues

In this session...

Sales directors and marketing chiefs hear ad tech pitches day in and day out. What will get their attention and stop their eyes glazing over at the first slide on the pitch deck? Get the inside track on what the decision-makers really want to know when hearing a sales pitch in this panel, featuring senior executives from Channel 4, Car Throttle, The Guardian, Hearst Magazines and The Pangea Alliance.

The decision-makers didn’t reach their positions by being susceptible to smoke and mirrors or being unable to determine snake oil from business-critical tech. Everyone is trying to sell their tech to media owners and marketing directors but without insight into what is really going to make a difference to their business and the proof points necessary to clinch a deal, it’s wasted effort.

This panel, brought to you by Propeller, PR, Content and Events specialist for media & tech,
will critique ad tech vendors’ sales techniques and give some hard-hitting advice. It’s a must-attend for anyone in sales in ad/martech looking to get through the door and talk the language of the C-suite.
