Marketing Strategy

The marketing trifecta: how to balance earned, owned and paid and dominate brand growth

San Diego, September 2025

In a fast paced digital landscape where new tools and channels like ChatGPT and Tiktok are changing the way we consume media, it can be overwhelming for marketers to effectively keep up to date with new trends and tactics.

Search and SEO no longer mean “Google” or “Bing” but operate as a function in a much larger ecosystem of marketing acquisition channels.

The simplicity of improving rankings and traffic are long gone, and people’s consumption decisions are rapidly changing.

Rather, the importance of brand building and proper positioning are becoming more important than ever.

In this talk, Nadya will share new insights and strategies from her experiences at past companies with building an organic growth strategy that doesn’t function separately from paid, but in tandem.

Preparing executives for GenAI search

San Diego, September 2025

The SEO industry has long been obsessed with rankings, but for executives, the conversation is all about driving demand.

As Generative AI continues to reshape search, visibility metrics alone cannot define success.

Instead, SEOs, Content Strategists, and Web leaders must expand KPIs to measure business outcomes—traffic, engagement, conversions, and revenue impact.


In this session, Mellissa will share how Cisco is evolving its search strategy to align with the GenAI-driven search landscape and what new data and insights we are gathering to help executive leaders, integrated marketing managers, content writers, and web leaders prepare for the future.

Learn how to:

• Listen to Your Customers – Engage with your own customers to understand how they are (or are not) adopting GenAI search platforms as part of their buyer journey.


• Define GenAI Search KPIs – Measure visibility, LLM bot interaction, traffic, engagement, and pipeline influenced by new platforms and GenAI-powered results.


• Build Executive-Level Visibility – Translate insights from GenAI Search into business-critical reporting for Directors, VPs, and CMOs to secure the investments needed to stay ahead of shifting customer behavior.


• Navigate the Future – Gain predictions on what’s next and how to stay ahead of the evolving GenAI search landscape.
