The Masterclasses are one of, if not the most popular activity at the OMR Festival each year. These 90-minute seminars give attendees a chance to go into depth on a range of current marketing topics and acquire a great deal of actionable insights. After we had to cancel OMR20, we explored how to best offer the Masterclasses digitally. We think you’ll be happy with the result: This year’s Masterclasses will take place on June 17 & 18 and won’t cost you a thing! To take part, all you need is a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Today, we’re showing you how to sign up and unveiling the first wave of Masterclasses.
How to attend a Digital Masterclass: The first thing you need to do is get your hands on a ticket—which is 100% free. Step two is to apply for a spot in one of the Masterclasses you want to attend—you may apply to attend a total of 8 Masterclasses per day (there are also only 8 time slots). Before you apply, be sure to take a closer look at the timetable and make sure none of the classes overlap with each other. Since attendees will have the option of asking questions via chat in each seminar, spots are limited. Therefore, please be aware that there is no guarantee that you will be selected to attend the Masterclass you apply for. The application phase ends June 10, 2020.
A little something extra: During the lunch break on June 17, OMR founder and CEO Philipp Westermeyer will present his Stage of the German Internet keynote, which he would have held on the Conference Stage in front of 7000 at the OMR Festival. This year, he’s giving it digitally. Enough about the organizational details. Here’s the first wave of Digital Masterclasses you can apply to – you can find the complete timetable here.

The Marketing Analytics Evolution: How Data-Driven is Your Organization?
Wednesday, June, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Making better and faster decisions with data is becoming mission-critical for marketing organizations. And with new technologies and channels popping up every day, marketers must adapt and evolve their analytics strategies, skills, and data solutions to stay competitive. So, whether your marketing team is crawling, walking or running with data, it’s important to know how your analytics are working toward success today in order to progress tomorrow. We want to help you answer the question where you stand on the journey towards a data-driven organization and give you an insight into how Tableau and our customers are using data to drive their marketing business every single day.
Wrong answers about your brand are never acceptable — now more than ever.
Wednesday, June 17, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Wrong answers about your brand — either on your website or search platforms — cost you business on any given day — and right now, wrong answers could cost lives. Modern AI services like Google and Alexa have trained us to expect an accurate answer whenever we ask a question. Consumers are asking questions about your brand every single day, and given the pandemic’s impact on how our society functions at every level, they are asking more questions than ever (including many surprising new ones). In other words, search matters tremendously, both for nurturing positive brand awareness and delivering exceptional customer service experiences. But our research has found that 82% of information about Fortune 500 brands comes from unverified sources. So who’s answering your customers’ questions? Odds are, not you. At least, not yet. Wendi Sturgis, Yext’s CEO for Europe, explains in detail how brands can use natural language understanding to put verified answers, optimized for conversion, right in their website’s search results and find out what people are searching for — and how to continually listen and effortlessly update your ability to provide accurate answers to all your customers’ questions.

Why your media efficiency assumptions are wrong and how we can prove it.
Thursday, June 18, 11:00 am – 12:00 am Advertisers have spent years deploying their marketing budgets using a blend of what they ‘know’ works and what ‘seems’ right. Whilst many choose to use ‘first’ or ‘last’ click methods to make decisions, those incorporating machine learning are growing their sales whilst lowering their costs by understanding exactly where that value is created. In a post-COVID world, more digital inventory will be created than ever before; old assumptions are being challenged daily. It will become even more crucial for advertisers to sift through their response data and assess exactly where to invest their marketing budgets and to what degree. I’ll share how advertisers have used this approach using real client data and scenarios.
