October 14, 2014

The Mira Hotel Hong Kong

Objective of the Course

A company is only as strong as its weakest customer relationship and the mobile and social media platforms are the perfect avenues to develop and foster these relationships. Much more than a wireless transmitter optimized for voice input and output, a mobile phone, a tablet or a phablet is an always-on, anytime, anywhere marketing and sales device that follows a mobile user throughout his or her digital day. It is also an entertainment, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and social networking tool, which makes it, potentially, the most powerful device in the history of marketing and customer relations. The mobile device is, literally, a marketing tool that can—and usually is—personalized by its owner, and is within the reach of that owner almost every hour of every single day—once again a marketer's dream. This course reveals how businesses can drive customer engagement through the mobile and social media platforms.

This program provides local managers with a deep understanding of today’s digital marketing, mobile and social media landscape and reveals how to create personalized marketing campaigns to the “Anytime, anywhere” consumer.  

Andrew Pearson is a published author and a highly motivated speaker who will be discussing topics such as digital media, digital marketing, predictive analytics, customer intelligence and mobile and social media. Pearson has designed a course that specifically covers the following subjects.

  • The Digital Ecosystem – an overview of the ever-changing digital landscape, including how businesses can use the multitude of mobile and social media channels to reach the “anytime, anywhere” consumer.  
  • Social Media Marketing, including building brand and anti-brand managing, enhancing brand loyalty, creating fanbases, handling social media crisis situations, crowdsourcing as well as engaging customers on the multiple social media platforms.
  • Real-time marketing – real life case studies will be used to reveal how solutions from companies like Adobe, Informatica, SAP, and SAS can be used to reach a customer through real-time channels.  
  • Social shopping – what are the available platforms and payment processing companies that business can exploits, including the latest developments in the Chinese social shopping space.
  • Location-based – SoLoMo is becoming an important channel to reach motivated customers and this discussion reveals the latest players and developments in this important personalization space.
  • Analytics, Big Data, Fast Data – how can analytics be used to understand customer personalization as well as how it can drive CRM and SCRM.

In 2009, two books that Mr. Pearson edited appeared in print; the first in the Double Down on your Data series, Clive Pearson's How Analytics is Revolutionizing the Casino Industry and Santiago Maggi's Investment Strategies for Uncertain Markets, the latter is a book about the financial markets that presciently predicted the 2007 global financial meltdown. 

In 2010, Pearson also wrote The Mobile Revolution and it was published by Qualex Publishing. In 2013, Pearson was invited to write a chapter in Global Mobile: Applications and Innovations for the Worldwide Mobile Ecosystem, a book on mobile technology. The book, which was co-authored by several of the mobile industry's leading figures, was published in July 2013.



Pearson is also a noted columnist, writing on topics such as mobile media, social media and cloud technology for such publications as ComputerWorld HK, The Journal of Mobile and Social Media Marketing and The Mobile Marketer amongst others.

An avid traveler, Pearson is a sought-after speaker on such disparate topics as casino and mobile marketing, predictive analytics, social media and interactivity. If he's not pounding the pavements of Hollywood, he's probably wandering the labyrinthine streets of Hong Kong's Lang Kwai Fong, or tearing up useless betting slips at Happy Valley (perhaps the most perfectly named racecourse in the world (for some)), or dining at a hawker center in Singapore, or doubling down at the gaming tables in Macau. Basically, Pearson's trying to find the next great story that the world doesn't yet know that it desperately wants to see.
