Over the past ten years, e-commerce market penetration grew from 5% to 15%. Surprisingly, during just the first 8-weeks of the pandemic, the market growth doubled. The industry should be considering the takeaways from this growth as they revise their digital marketing plans for the new year. Hear from Devin Deaton, a partner at Max Connect Marketing, as he breaks down the data and trends from the past 12 months and how marketers can use this information to position themselves for the year ahead.

One of the early realities of the pandemic was that, as marketers pulled spend, it became very cost efficient for brands that continued to spend. That gravy train has stopped, and once again competition is high. So how should marketers trying to navigate these new realities proceed? Here’s how we’re approaching this question at Max Connect.

Devin Deaton, Kyle Nelson, Ryan Johnson, and Travis Draper recently joined Silicon Slopes to discuss the how Max Connect optimizes campaigns that are underperforming and push even the best campaigns to do better. They deep dive into how we leverage our experience to develop impactful strategies for clients and partners across industries and channels.
