After spending 15 years in the field of marketing and digital, this is the first time I am attending a digital marketing event as a host rather than a client. And I cannot be any more excited. With over a thousand of top digital marketing professionals attending the Adobe Symposium in both Singapore and Australia, every one of us will have the opportunity to learn the very latest approaches and best practices on digital and marketing strategy.

The digital landscape has never been more complex and exciting at the same time. For many organzations, digital is no longer just a channel to promote products and services. It is part of the core business strategy that would help accelerate the revenue growth, transform the customer experience, and set them apart from the competitors. No organization can afford to underestimate the impact of digital on all aspects of the business.

However, this paradigm shift has also created immense challenges for the business leaders. Many of us have been tasked to lead and accelerate the digital transformation journey, which means we now increasingly play a change agent role. Many of you would know that change management is a complex and evolving journey. It often requires different skill sets compared to the ones that have made you successful in the past.

In addition to that, talent shortage, digital and traditional marketing divide, lack of cross-channel strategy and ability to accelerate are just some of the challenges today’s digital and marketing leaders face in creating relevant and impactful digital organizations. The leaders who have the ability to overcome these challenges, and create strategies that transform how the companies understand customer behavior and service them in most personalized way will be the true winners in the future. For these reasons, I am looking forward to discussing with you at the event the latest ideas and approaches to organizational transformation and building best-in-class digital marketing organizations.

We have also invited experts and industry thought leaders to share and discuss the best practices on topics ranging from omni-channel, targeting, personalization, advertising, social, to digital marketing organization of the next decade. I invite you to join us this July for an amazing event and experience at the Adobe Digital Marketing Symposium Australia and Adobe Digital Marketing Symposium Singapore.
