How Macy’s is Reimagining the Retail Experience
Over the past few years, Macy’s has dedicated itself to improving its digital strategy and finding ways to use technology in their brick-and-mortar stores. In this keynote, Jill Ramsey, Chief Product and Digital Revenue Officer at Macy's, will share how mobile is key component in bringing the digital and physical worlds together, improving the customer experience, driving sales, and shaking up the way people think about retail. From our perspective, Macy’s has a major opportunity for cross-screen targeting. If they’re able to hit the right customers at the right time, they would provide a positive brand experience on both mobile and digital out-of-home.
