Clients, partners and influencers converge on London to discover how to revolutionize their roles and differentiate the brands they work for in today’s complex and challenging market

London, UK – October 3, 2018 – Emarsys, the largest independent marketing platform company in the world, announces final keynote speakers and new Customer Experience research for its Revolution event, at which it will be hosting 1000 of the world’s leading brands and marketing leadership in London from 15 – 17th October. The final speaker line-up includes industry luminaries, celebrity innovators and aerial adventurers, such as founder of Jo Malone and author, Jo Malone CBE; Head of Google Cloud AI, Ashwin Ram; Retail and Restaurant Lead at Facebook, Beth Horn; VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester, Brendan Witcher; and Red Bull Athlete and Soul Flyer, Vince Reffet.

Other speakers include thought leaders and senior executives from Emarsys clients, such as Unruly, Sally Beauty, TMW, Whirlpool/KitchenAid, Salling Group (formerly Dansk Supermarked), Outlet City, Bulk Powders, Brandsdaal, BrandAlley and Lesara, as well as executives from Emarsys and major events sponsors optilyz, BigCommerce, Kickdynamic, Magento, Return Path, shopifyplus and Persado. Partner testimonials can be found in the ‘Notes to Editors’.

The theme of Emarsys Revolution this year is two-fold, opening with ‘The Customer Experience’ on Day 1, concluding on Day 3 with ‘The Marketer Experience” and how the two are inextricably linked. There will be more than 45 live interactive sessions and hands-on labs across four learning tracks: strategy, creative & content, technology and solutions. Subject matter experts from across the industry will dive into shifting consumer habits and expectations, and how brands can use AI, personalization and omnichannel strategies to push boundaries provide unforgettable customer experiences.

“A tech explosion is happening in the market with marketers facing an overwhelming choice of options. While the technology curve has been steadily logarithmic in growth the same cannot be said for the customer tech adoption curve which has progressed in a more linear fashion. In many cases it has plateaued. While it’s good that providers improve technology at this pace, the customer is still struggling to keep up. Industry needs to provide a new benchmark, a new standard to help marketing professionals meet the evolution point sooner, so that they are able to onboard faster and graduate to more sophisticated software such as AI – and in this way move closer to the promise of marketing, that of true 1:1 personalization,” said Ohad Hecht, CEO at Emarsys and keynote speaker at Revolution.

“Clients, prospects and partners attending this year’s event will have an opportunity to understand how to make this reality their own through high-quality, interactive sessions, hands-on labs and, we believe, an un-matched series of keynote speakers. This year they will also understand what’s next from Emarsys to help them further differentiate in today’s busy market.”
