Keynote: 7 Digital Marketing Skills That'll Never Go Out of Style Every year, webinars, articles, and blog posts are filled with the annual prognostications about digital trends and (let's be honest) absolute guesses about what’s coming in the next year and beyond. But the reality is that no one goes back and checks to see if those predictions were true, relevant, or simply ridiculous. Matt flips the script by going back to "7 Digital Marketing Skills That'll Never Go Out of Style." Regardless of changes, trends, or technology, these foundational skills prepare you to handle anything. In fact, you’ll be more adaptable than those who might know the new tech but haven’t gained or honed these skills. What goes out of style are tactics that’ll be extinct faster than parachute pants, big hair, or grunge. Instead, in this session, you'll learn to develop methods of thinking and approaches to new digital challenges based on experience, measurement, and communication. In this session, you'll learn:
