Some key takeaways from Buscemi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cData for me has a personal story. I started on the data side and then came into marketing, rather than starting in brand or creative. I found very early in my career that as a marketer and as a woman, data could be a really powerful tool. Data and analytics take the emotion out of conversations with the CEO or the CFO, and help me command the budgets I need. That was a hugely powerful tool, one that unlocked doors for me in my career.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201c\u2018Lead\u2019 to me is a four letter word right now. I want to push that to the side. I want all of marketing \u2014 and beyond marketing, across the organization \u2014 to be measured around engagement &#8230; We have to be looking across the entire organization, truly every customer touch point &#8230; for a full view of the customer. I think we need to blow up these lead models; they are pretty antiquated. For us, it&#8217;s all about engagement, and a set of engagement metrics that transcend every customer touch point.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cSometimes it makes better sense for us to use external agency, sometimes to do things internally. What I think is the most important part of it, whether it&#8217;s in-house or not, is to never be willing to extract yourself away from your customers and consumers.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cI&#8217;ve seen places where people are doing things out in markets that are attempts to build emotional connections, but they feel like \u2018random acts of emotion\u2019. [Instead, you need to answer the question] &#8216;What is your company really about? Beyond your core products and services?&#8217; [You should be engaging on] shared values with that consumer &#8230; 90% of people said that they felt it was the responsibility of a business, to give back to the society in which it operated, and 80% indicated they&#8217;re going to make their decision making and the way they buy their products and services based on that moving forward [according to the Salesforce <a href=\"\/blog\/2019\/06\/12\/state-of-the-connected-customer-report-outlines-changing-standards-for-customer-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">State of the Connected Customer report<\/a>].\u201d<\/li><li>&#8220;[People often ask me] what are you going to do with CCPA and compliance? We&#8217;re working on that. But honestly, this is a data sharing and information economy with a generation, we can all see, that&#8217;s willing to share a lot of their information for meaningful experiences for a meaningful exchange a value exchange and authenticity.\u201d<span class=\"text-salesforce-gray\"><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large prevent-download\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"20063-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"823\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png 823w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=300&amp;h=157 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=768&amp;h=403 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=264&amp;h=139 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=500&amp;h=262 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=678&amp;h=356 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=150&amp;h=79 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=368&amp;h=193 368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><br> L-R: Michael Kassan, Marc Benioff, and Alan Jope<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"20063-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large prevent-download\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"823\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png 823w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=300&amp;h=157 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=768&amp;h=403 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=264&amp;h=139 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=500&amp;h=262 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=678&amp;h=356 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=150&amp;h=79 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Benioff-story.png?w=368&amp;h=193 368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><figcaption><br> L-R: Michael Kassan, Marc Benioff, and Alan Jope<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ces.tech\/conference\/speaker-directory\/890791.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good for business, good for the planet: How companies drive positive impact<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce Chairman and Co-CEO Marc Benioff joined Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever, and Michael Kassan, Chairman and Co-CEO of Medialink, to discuss the new imperatives for CEOs, how Salesforce is doing well by doing good, and out believe that business can be the greatest platform for change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cAll stakeholders have to matter to us, not just our shareholders.

This is the marking of a modern high performance culture today.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201c[I know when we last spoke seven years ago], the concept of deeply integrating sustainability into our supply chain was not in the conversation. But today, for a modern CEO, that has to be a key part of their strategy going forward.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cYou can listen to the phone calls are the scripts, of our shareholder meetings every year. There&#8217;s always one person who shows up [to our shareholder meetings] and says, &#8216;I didn&#8217;t understand. Why didn&#8217;t you have to go against [the anti-LGBTQ law in Indiana]? Do you really think that that&#8217;s your right, as a CEO to fight that law?&#8217; And my response is always &#8216;Yes, I have to fight for the rights of our employees and our customers, that&#8217;s what I do as a CEO &#8230; that is what ultimately being a chief executive today is going to be about.&#8217;\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cWhen I was at Oracle, I felt very much split in my personality. During the day, I was making and selling software. But then I had a philanthropic side and I was working in schools, and all that. But, you know, I had a revelation that we can do both. You don&#8217;t have to make a decision that you&#8217;re going to be philanthropic or business oriented. That&#8217;s a false choice.

For example, a sales rep can voice query Salesforce to get briefed on nearby accounts, vehicles can create their own service tickets to suggest appointments and voice enabled commerce will allow anyone to order products directly from the app, like re-ordering their favorite dinner on the way home from work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vala Afshar, Salesforce\u2019s Chief Digital Evangelist, said \u201cThis is an industry first capability, enabling a driver to be productive in a vehicle of the future. The average U.S. worker has 51 minutes of daily commute. With Salesforce on the Harmon Ignite Marketplace, a car becomes a mobile office, whereby a driver can manage sales opportunities, marketing leads and services cases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more

and Chief Marketing Officer Stephanie Buscemi took the stage Tuesday at CES \u2014 alongside Disney&#8217;s EVP of Global Marketing and Sales Jill Estorino \u2014 to discuss digital disruption in 2020. Here are a few highlights from Buscemi at CES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cArtificial intelligence has been around for decades. It\u2019s not a new thing. But there is a time when you hit the tipping point \u2014 and it\u2019s now. We\u2019re really starting to see every marketer out there is going \u2018wait a minute, to really get scale in my business, I need to be using [AI] not only to personalize recommendations on the next-best offer&#8230; but all my digital properties. AI can actually be telling me what the next best image is to have on my web pages. AI can actually manage and help identifying what\u2019s the best and most resonating copy.\u2019\u201d <\/li><li>\u201cIf I harken back 20 years and look at Salesforce automation, there\u2019s nothing natural about asking a salesperson to do data entry into a technology. Nobody likes to do it. The promise right now with our Einstein AI Voice assistant is being able to have a conversation with your technology. It\u2019s a back-and-forth in which your systems, your workflows, your service interactions, everything\u2019s updating. That\u2019s going to be a huge game changer.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cWe want [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/dreamforce\">Dreamforce<\/a>] to be more than a tech conference. Really we want to be an event about change, and how do we make change for people, and how do we make people realize that technology is accessible for everyone. You don\u2019t have to be a data scientist, you don\u2019t have to be a programmer. Really the end goal for us is to make technology consumable for every person, degree or no degree, every walk of life.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large prevent-download\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"20066-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png 820w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=300&amp;h=168 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=768&amp;h=431 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=264&amp;h=148 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=500&amp;h=280 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=678&amp;h=380 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=150&amp;h=84 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=314&amp;h=177 314w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/CES-2020-Jones.png?w=344&amp;h=193 344w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Photo credit Deloitte.
