The Identity Gap: How Marketers Perceive Success and Where It Breaks Down
June 24, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT
Sponsored Webinars
Most marketers believe their marketing is working. But as operations scale, what once felt effective becomes harder to sustain. In new research with the American Marketing Association, Epsilon found a clear gap: marketers who use identity resolution report higher confidence in their ability to identify audiences, deliver personalized experiences and measure results than those who don’t. Non-identity users still believe they can be effective overall, but that belief starts to unravel when they look more closely at how their marketing actually performs.
In this webinar, we’ll break down where performance starts to diverge and what it takes to create greater clarity and alignment across marketing.
How to Drive AI Visibility with Press Releases and Earned Media
June 30, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT
Sponsored Webinars
AI search is changing how buyers discover brands. If your content isn’t showing up in AI-generated answers, you’re losing visibility and missing opportunities to drive traffic and pipeline, even when your campaigns are strong. For marketers, this shifts how content should be created, distributed, and measured. Visibility is no longer about rankings. Your brand needs to be cited, trusted, and surfaced when AI tools generate answers. In this session, we’ll break down how press releases and earned media influence what AI surfaces, along with practical ways to adapt your strategy so your content shows up and drives impact in AI-powered search.
