You’re spending money on ads. Are they working? Are you on the right channels? Are you targeting the right people?

Most marketers are asking themselves these questions right now. You don’t know if you’re overspending or under-investing. You don’t know if that new tactic you’re considering is actually worth it or makes sense for your brand and strategy.

In this session, we’re breaking down real examples you can steal and apply to your own work. We’re bringing 5 demand gen marketers on stage to walk through what they’re actually running right now—the channels, the creative, the targeting, the spend, and the actual results.

You’ll see:

  • Which channels are getting the best ROI (and which ones they’ve killed)
  • How they’re building audiences and suppressing the wrong people
  • The actual ad creative that’s converting (screenshots, not mockups)
  • Landing pages and offers that turn clicks into pipeline
  • Budget allocation and how they’re measuring success
  • New tactics like signal-based targeting, CTV for B2B, and trade show warm-up plays

This session is brought to you by Vector and is perfect for demand gen marketers, growth marketers, and anyone running paid campaigns who wants to see what good actually looks like.
