Jim Van Dyke, CEO and President, Javelin Strategy & Research
New Javelin data shows that customer trust in banks has eroded by a 9-1 margin; and with more regulation looming, institutions must change course. Online interaction channels provide "always-on" access, but the underlying content is often stale, cryptic, disparate, and uncontrollable by the customer. This presentation shows financial institutions how to win by sharing control with customers - by satisfying the consumers’ hunger for "always-on, real-time" control of their finances through online and mobile banking, alerts, personal finance management tools and more. The Customer-Driven Architecture allows banks, credit unions, and financial technology specialists to set and prioritize projects based on empowering customers, all aimed at increasing profitable market share, customer loyalty, and revenue opportunity.

2:30 Optimizing The Marketing Ecosystem
Michael Thomas, Director eMarketing, E*Trade Financial
Marketing has evolved into a complex system of consumer experiences—from print ads to Web 2.0, from direct mail to e-mail, from out of home to rich media online, from word of mouth to Facebook and Twitter, from broadcast to YouTube and from the storefront to the Web site. By themselves each represents a unique opportunity to build upon relationships with prospects and customers alike. Collectively, these experiences define your company’s brand. Like a tribal chief in the Amazon, today’s CMOs must master the diversity of options available to him/her, understanding and appreciating the contributions and limitations of each. How can today’s CMOs become a better steward of their marketing dollars, take advantage the latest ideas, all while breaking new ground of their own?
